We have access to over 1,000 psychometric tests available both online and face-to-face, we have the expertise to create custom solutions for your business and test the following key areas:

• Cognitive Ability / Intellectual - also known as aptitude tests accurately measure work-related cognitive capacity - whether or not a candidate has the intellectual capacity to perform in the job.

• Behavioural - temperament (or personality) testing provides a clear understanding how candidates might perform under pressure, how they relate to others, their style of collaboration, ability to think intuitively or ojectively, and their ability to show self-control or be flexible. 

• Emotional Intelligence (EI) - our EI reports on the way we think, feel and act. Research shows that people with high EI tend to communicate better, are better equipped at perceiving, using and understanding their own emotions as well as those of others are generally more collaborative and less likely to engage in risky behaviours.

• Skills Testing - we offer a range of assessments designed to test a candidate's current level of knowledge and skills in a particular field which gives you an understanding of whether or not the candidate has the ability to meet the technical needs of the role.
