LEADERSHIP ASSESSMENT

Selecting the right candidate for the right job

Most hiring decisions are significantly affected by first impressions and other unrelated factors that do not reflect a candidate’s ability to perform in a role. These decision-making errors can lead to selecting an unsuitable candidate or, even worse, driving excellent candidates to your competitors. Our leadership assessment process is designed to create a positive candidate experience while providing accurate insights to help select the most qualified candidate, identify the most critical development needs, and facilitate targeted coaching and support.

Our comprehensive assessment solution starts by identifying the key job responsibilities and the requirements for success in the target role. The assessments may be used in the context of decision-making related to hiring, promotion, or development. This process aims to achieve alignment among stakeholders and enhance decision quality. By leveraging scientifically validated assessment tools, our trained business psychologists analyze the scores to generate recommendations. They offer consultations on the candidate’s fit for the role and identify any gaps relative to the specified requirements.
