Psychometric Testing

In today’s competitive environment, it’s not enough to know a candidate’s skill set matches your vacancy – knowing more about a candidate gives you the power to identify the adaptability, cultural and behavioural fit, and the future potential of each new start.

Using psychometric tests and tools to assess candidate’s knowledge and thoughts will give you an insight into how people behave at work, giving you a greater level of certainty when recruiting. This can identify where to maximise your learning and development budget and helps you understand where to boost morale to avoid high staff turnover.

This can also enable you to spend less time managing staff under-performers and focus more time on those who will truly drive your business forward. Should you be interested in having candidates take a psychometric test we would be happy to arrange and provide the analysed results.

To succeed in the ever-evolving world of IT and technology, having the right selection of skills across your organisation is es-sential; but it can be difficult to know a candidates wider technical skill set if IT isn’t your primary industry.

Using assessment tools, we can help you to identify and address any skills deficits of potential employees before you recruit ensuring the right technical, cultural and organisational fit for your business.

• Can they do it?
• Will they do it?
• How well can they do it?

By using a technical assessment you can receive in depth information on a potential recruit to make the very best hiring de-cisions.

Success stories / client recommendations

• CFO – Private Bank r

  “The team and I were very happy with the service provided. We had two positions open within the Accounting team, which we received 5 candidate profiles for and within 2 weeks we successfully closed both positions.”

• IT Head – Capital Markets

  “We have not added a supplier to our PSL for a couple of years for IT Capital Markets but after the pleasant experience with SystemRS, we made an exception. We were looking for a Murex Back Office Support Manger with 3.1 experience but the CV’s coming through from the local agents were not hitting the mark. Greg assured me he could help, so I gave him a chance, which I am now glad I did.”
