We help our customers in the following areas of talent management:

Get concise insight into candidates' likelihood to succeed in a given role. See where candidates line up strongly and where gaps may exist. Generate role-specific behaviour-based interview questions to explore positive and negative indicators of each personality trait.

Supporting tools: The Mental Agility Test – A cognitive assessment that uncovers a candidate’s speed of thought, ability to think and learn quickly as well as absorb new information, systems and processes. 

Talent Development

Uncover employees’ natural strengths and weaknesses to create personalized development plans. Equip managers with actionable coaching tips to help employees achieve set goals.

Supporting tools: The 360 Leadership Review – Gather feedback on 8 leadership competencies to determine what actions managers need to take to succeed. Use in conjunction with the psychometric assessment to see which competencies will require additional developmental support.
