Selection Support
Too often a busy and under pressure senior leadership team, while doing the job of leading a complex, dynamic, group in a high stakes environment, will also service as the panel for the recruitment of a critical technical or leadership role, often a peer at level to join them. This is the definition of a high stakes and critical role, and having done all of the right things to make the best decision including the use of psychometric testing, even psychometric reports with the most layperson-friendly interpretation and limited jargon, these reports can still be somewhat impenetrable.
This is not just a consistent reality for senior leadership teams and high stakes placements, but every situation in which we find psychometric testing use.
Testing done well, and understood by the right hiring panel in the moments that matter, is transformative and worth several times its initial cost. Too often testing is handed over to hiring panels, with far too little support for how to apply the insights best, what questions to ask ourselves, and what questions to add to any subsequent interviews or reference checks.
