Research has shown that cognitive aptitude tests are much more accurate predictors of job performance than are other widely used employee selection techniques. Measures a candidate's ability to learn, critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and reasoning abilities.

Employment personality tests are a valuable tool for gaining insights into the interaction style, character traits, and behavioral patterns of individuals, and are designed to assess the aspects of a person's personality that remain stable throughout an individual's lifetime.

Skills tests measure basic competencies that are typically associated with essential work activities for a wide variety of jobs.

We determine if the candidate has had normal and successful career progression, determine through behavioral based interviewing if the candidate will excel within your organization, and conduct a face to face meeting to determine their interpersonal skills, management style and overall fit into your organizational culture. Reference checks are conducted.

We will present to you the three top candidates.
