A good fit deserves more than a gut feeling.

Hiring demands change as a business does. We work with your team to understand where your recruitment approach is under pressure and develop a practical plan for the roles ahead.

Add evidence to instinct

Test for what matters in the role

We use one of the world’s largest aptitude and personality testing platforms to build a test around the role you’re hiring for. That could mean measuring practical skills such as typing speed and accuracy, or looking more closely at leadership style, motivators and how a senior candidate may work with your executive team. The aim is to add useful evidence to the hiring decision, not reduce a person to a score.

FAQs

  • We already know who we like and ask questions to make sure they can do the work. Why add aptitude testing?

    Aptitude testing doesn’t have to focus on technical skill. It can help assess qualities that are harder to pin down in an interview, including attention to detail, speed to action and motivators.

  • We encourage different working and personality styles. Why does knowing someone’s style matter?

    The value isn’t in deciding whether someone fits one management style. It’s in giving you more insight into how they may respond to training, management and challenges, so your team has a stronger starting point for supporting them well.

  • Does aptitude testing decide who we should hire?

    No. It’s there to add another perspective to your decision, not make it for you. The results can highlight things that are difficult to uncover in an interview and give you more context to consider alongside the candidate’s experience, interviews and the needs of the role.
