Why use professional talent assessments?
Hiring at the executive level is not the same as hiring the majority of staff. The risks are far higher, the potential gains – or losses – game-changing.
Designed to eliminate this risk through objective, data-driven insights, talent assessments use scientifically-backed, proven methods to build an objective, accurate evaluation of your talent.
Ultimately, they remove the risk of human error, gain deep insights, and focus on fact-based decision making, so you can make your people decisions with confidence.
Our objective assessments incorporate a variety of leadership assessment tools to go beyond the surface-level and dig deeper to accurately support hiring decisions, high-potential talent identification, leadership development and succession planning.
We’ll test cognitive ability, uncover hidden personality traits and ultimately evaluate your candidate’s leadership capability and role fit potential. This means you can envision exactly how your candidate would fare in the role.
Of course, at Pearn Kandola, we don’t just leave it there. Why engage us to assess a candidate only to waive responsibility for the final decision? This is our area of expertise, afterall. We make a clear recommendation on whether or not you should make the hire. It’s that simple. To support decision making, we also have a post-assessment call with the hiring manager.
We’re confident in our recommendations and partner with household names, FTSE100 and Fortune500 companies to support their executive hires.
We’ll partner with you to fully understand your organisational needs and the role’s critical success factors, enabling you to position the right people, in the right roles, at the right time.
As pioneers in fair and effective assessment, our leadership assessments minimise bias in your selection, promotion and development decisions. In fact, our development centres were independently verified to show 0% gender or racial bias.
Assessments are also widely used for identifying high-potential talent early and accurately, to accelerate leadership development, protecting your talent pipeline.
This, in turn, can enhance employee engagement and retention by aligning the right people with the right roles, and ensure talent and hard work are recognised and rewarded appropriately. Our talent assessment and development services work in harmony to build, protect and accelerate your talent pool.
The most important investment you can make is in your people. Contact us today to help us support yours.
