B) Assessments for Candidate Selection

Assessment for Selection draws on a range of psychometric assessment tools to ensure
a strong match between the candidate, the role and the organisation. Depending on the
specific role and organisation, different assessment methods may be used to determine
the behaviours, skills, motivations and attributes of the ideal candidate.
How it can help your organisation
Reduced productivity levels, low employee engagement and high turnover can all be
indicators that assessment for selection would benefit an organisations recruitment
process. Assessment for selection recognises that the standard approach of resume +
interview + reference check doesnt provide enough accurate information for successful
selection of the candidate for a role or organisation.

reasoning, verbal reasoning, critical thinking, decision making, emotional intelligence,
vocational preferences, spatial reasoning, mechanical reasoning.




C) Assessments for Recruitment
What is it
Our methodology improves the accuracy of recruitment and selection and the long term
performance and retention of employees based on a formula that ensures the right fit
between the person and the environment. The formula Behaviour = Fn
(Personality.Environment) simply means that a persons behaviour is a function of who
they are, their skills and temperament, combined with the environment in which they
work.

How it can help your organisation
Assessment can increase performance and productivity across their organisation,
reducing the cost of rehire, induction and onboarding by identifying the right fit, first
time. It provides access to useful insights for motivating and managing employees
throughout the course of their employment.
What we do
We analyse the organisation and the core competencies of each role. Our psychologists
then create a blueprint of the knowledge, skills, motivators, style and abilities that the
ideal candidate should possess.

2. Assessments for Team Effectiveness
What is it
Our team effectiveness model measures the strengths and weaknesses of a team and its
ability to deliver high performance results.
How it can help your organisation
Assess team effectiveness when creating a new team or merging teams, overcoming
conflict or looking to improve overall performance and productivity of teams.
What we do
We know that high performing teams must work across four domains: clarity of purpose
and goals, clearly defined structure, leading and influencing others, strong relationships.
We use psychometric based profiling tools to provide an in depth understanding of
personality styles, interactions, behaviours and motivations.

3. Assessment Of Organizations:
There is overwhelming research suggesting that organisational culture has direct and
indirect impacts on employee engagement, productivity, turnover and customer
retention. Studies indicate that culture accounts for 20-30%

of the differential in
performance in competing organizations
We measure behaviours which are impacting and relevant to your business today. It
provides a comprehensive and precise assessment of culture. Specific attention will be
placed upon those qualities identified as critical to the organisations strategic
ambitions.
Actual results are mapped against your target to reveal any gaps. This gap analysis
highlights the areas where the organisation is performing well, and those areas where
greater focus is required. This analysis provides a good start to direct future culture
development planning.

Measure a candidates capacity to execute skills of varying difficulty. For recent graduates,
employers may be more interested in the persons potential to do a task, and will assess generic
skills using reasoning or ability tests.

Personality questionnaires:
Assess the applicants typical or preferred style of behaving, thinking and feeling. The
questionnaire is not concerned with abilities, but with the applicants perception of his/her own
style of, or approach to, work. There are no right or wrong answers, although some traits may be
more or less appropriate to certain jobs. This is a common measurement technique because it
identifies team and organisational fit, and potential areas for development and advancement.

Interest Assessment:
Assess your personal preference for specific types of job-related activities in a wide range of
occupations.

plans. For example, if your survey reveals low employee morale, lack of career development
opportunities, dissatisfaction with compensation and benefits, and numerous complaints on the
same topics
