How We Can Help

Assessment Exercise Design

We can design exercises that allow you to see candidates performing tasks as they would be in the workplace.

Work sample tests might include Group Exercises, Briefings, Presentations, Case Studies, Role-plays or In-trays

Exercises designed bespoke for your organisation and role have been proven to be more valid, predictive and well-received by candidates

Assessor Training

Practical and comprehensive training for anyone involved in assessing and selecting candidates, such as hiring managers or assessors at assessment and development centres

Refine your skills and grow your confidence as an assessor.

Delivered either in-house or remotely, these courses are for anyone involved in assessing people, such as hiring managers, line managers or assessors at assessment centres. Reduce unconscious bias, elicit and gather more objective evidence

Personality Profiling

We can offer personality tools and a validation interview with a psychologist to add another dimension to your hiring process. What motivates them? What are their core values? How will they behave within the team? Communication style? Leadership style? How will they manage change?

Using well-validated psychometric assessment tools to provide invaluable insight into how a person is likely to perform or fit into your organisation or in what conditions they will thrive

Interviewee and Candidate Support

Coaching or access to practice exercises. Improving the confidence and preparedness of candidates for any assessment improves the validity of the assessment and the candidate experience

We can offer training courses, practice interviews, practice exercises and one-to-one coaching for candidates wanting to improve their interviewee technique and confidence before an assessment

Interviewer Training

We can help grow your confidence and skills as an interviewer. How to elicit and capture the best evidence from the candidate, what questions to ask and when, and how to avoid common, pervasive biases. A delegate once remarked "There's much more to it than I ever thought. You've shown me how badly I've been doing this for years"

Interview Question Design

A bank of effective interview questions will add consistency, reliability and fairness to your interviews, whether competency or strengths-based; past-behaviour, future-focussed or situational; video, telephone or face to face
