Choosing the right candidate
When recruiting for a senior post within a school, college or any other organisation, a CV and interview can only go so far in determining the suitability of a candidate.
At this level, it’s the things that you don’t see on a CV or in an interview – the individual’s values, beliefs, preferences and behaviour - that are most important.
Assessment and testing
Our occupational psychology services can provide you with a valid and objective assessment of each candidate by understanding candidates’ personalities and competencies.
Our rigorous psychology tests can even determine whether the candidate will fit into your school’s culture or match your brand values.
In essence, our service provides you with a better prediction of ‘on-the-job’ performance.
How it works
We will work with you to describe and define the characteristics of candidates you require.
We then design an assessment and testing programme. This will identify, from your short-listed candidates, the closest match to your desired criteria.
We employ a number of well validated and accepted psychometric and behavioural measures to achieve the results.
The assessment process can provide valuable CPD for your senior team. We work with them to develop their knowledge of criteria based assessment and selection, and their skills as assessors.
