RAISING ASSESSMENT STANDARDS • Behavioural testing, to analyse your temperament – specifically how you will go about the job on an everyday basis; how you will react in pressure situations or how you will take charge or pursue a sales cycle. These reports are prepared by the McQuaig® Institute, an independent, highly regarded psychometrics provider. • Job Fit analysis, where your psychometrics are compared with personnel who are already succeeding in post. This is to check that there is a match in key characteristic areas, to objectively judge whether you are well suited to do the job, whether you will be happy when doing it, or if you'll be stretched, pressured and forced to act abnormally instead. • Key Competency Questions, whereby all candidates are asked the same three to five questions, and asked to complete answers in advance of the interview. These permit you to showcase your knowledge, give specific well- thought-out responses to key part of the job specification, and offer a direct comparison with other candidates to the client. They also assist in providing a valuable talking point for follow up questions when you attend an interview. • Candidate benchmark analysis, provided by the recruitment team if requested by the client. Candidates are compared on key skills and on salary, to provide a cost-benefit analysis of the options available to the client.
