Here’s how our executive psychometrics service is different

At Winning Performance, we do executive psychometrics so differently from the norm that our candidates become our clients, and our clients request our help in other aspects of their business. Put simply, we ensure that the psychometric assessment process is a highly personal, rather than transactional, process.

1. You will get a clear picture of the executive we’ve assessed because we write our reports in plain English and we talk you through the assessment information in a way that really brings it to life;
2. You will be better placed to evaluate whether the executive is the right fit for your role, team and organisation because we make sure we understand your context;
3. You will uncover better quality information from the reference checks and subsequent interviews because we help you pinpoint what you should target for follow-up;
4. You will be better prepared to support the successful candidate because we help you identify what they will need to develop; and
5. Candidates will feel respected by the process because we explore the results with them in-depth before we write our report.

Here’s how our executive psychometrics service reduces the risk of a poor hire

1. Since executives tend to be skilled at interviewing, interviews can create an overly positive impression. Our process gives you a more balanced view of the candidate so you know the areas the executive may need some support.
2. It is uncommon for a referee to volunteer the negatives. Our process helps you turn generically positive reference checks into more nuanced referee feedback.
3. While we use high-quality tools that require accreditation, we also explore the data with the executive rather than taking it at face value. Our process gives you more context to the assessment data.
4. Aspects of the executive’s style may be apparent from the interview or reference checks, but the implications of their style may be less obvious. Our process helps you evaluate their “fit” by considering the positive and negative implications of the executive’s style in relation to the role, the team and the organisation.
5. It can be tempting to let a search consultant conduct the interviews, perform the reference checks and administer some psychometric assessments. Our expert independent process allows you to triangulate the information you’re getting from a range of sources. The more consistent the information from the various sources, the more confident you can be that you have a deep understanding of the executive and their suitability for your role.

Here’s some of the options

1. Full executive recruitment process, complete with high-quality personality profiling, ability assessments, verbal feedback to the candidate, verbal debrief with the organisation, a psychologist-written Recruitment Report, a Comparison Report outlining similarities and differences between candidates or the candidate and the existing team, and an Onboarding Report to support the successful candidate’s onboarding and development.
2. Just aspects of the above, e.g., high-quality personality profiling, verbal feedback to the candidate, verbal debrief with the organisation, and a psychologist-written Recruitment Report.
