Good hiring decisions are often some of the most difficult
tasks facing business professionals. Many times they are based
solely on perceptions from an interview and a candidate’s
resume. While this process is adequate for assessing the candidate’s
relevant experience and knowledge, good interviewing skills are
not highly correlated with actual job performance. In addition,
it misses many aspects of an individual that can be crucial to
the person’s likely fit for the position and more difficult
to change once the person is in the job:
- Intellectual Capacity– The biggest predictor
of someone's ability to perform a job.
- Motivated Abilities, Values– Important to assessing cultural fit and drivers.
- Personality Traits – Necessary for determining
work style, the person's strengths and potential derailers.
A psychological assessment is designed to give you a more comprehensive
picture of a person that incorporates all of the above, as well
as a perspective that is more objective than normally found in
traditional interviewing.
We also work very hard to build relationships with you, our client.
We learn about your culture and what’s important in the position
before we begin the assignment. We’re available to consult
with you on our findings after the assessment. Our reports are
delivered in a timely manner. And now through our network of 200
offices nationwide, we can conduct assessments for people located
virtually anywhere.
