Psychometric Assessments

Predict on the job performance and improve productivity.

Search. Screen. Assess. Check.

We partner with 17 reputable talent assessment publishers
and have access to 2,500 psychometric assessment and reports.

We are not a recruitment company. Rather, we have many years’ experience in helping our customers find talents by leveraging our psychometric assessments, technology, psychology, analytics and deep understanding of people.

Whether you have a well-established talent acquisition process or you’re just starting out, we can assist you with an end to end recruitment process or just some parts of it.

From preferred work styles, values and motivation, to potential behavioural strengths, leadership potential and organisation/team fit, behavioural psychometric assessments can help you understand what makes your candidate tick, how to help them perform to their best, and ensure a good culture fit or “culture add”.

The data collected at this stage can also be vital to support onboarding, development and management of new hires.

  • Verbal reasoning – assesses written and verbal communication skills and how well they interpret written information.
  • Numerical reasoning – assesses the ability to understand and interpret data, graphs and tables, track KPIs and ROI, and manage budgets.
  • Mechanical reasoning – assesses mechanical or spatial reasoning skills.
