ASSESSMENT.

We understand that you need to identify the very best leaders for your business. We also know that the wrong appointment can be extremely costly.

Research carried out by the Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC) found that a poor hire at mid-manager level with a salary of £42,000 can cost a business more than £132,000 due to the accumulation of costs relating to training, lost productivity and more.

The true cost of a bad apple is not just financial…

While the financial impact is quantifiable, chief financial officers actually rank a bad hire's morale and productivity impacts ahead of monetary losses.

With so much at stake we understand the importance of getting it right, and that in pretty much all cases a quick CV sift and an interview just won’t cut it.

Tell us what you need.

When it comes to assessment, at Psychology Works we are able to offer an end to end service, with solutions and products for every stage of the process. Whether it be for selection or development, we’ve got it covered.

We can be as ‘hands on’ or ‘hands off’ as you need us to be.

Just need some exercises? Done. Assessor training? Done. Need the ‘full works’, from job crafting, through to assessment, interviewing,report writing and onboarding? Not a problem!

Get in touch and lets have a chat about what you need. Crafting assessment solutions and working with our clients to see they get the right person, in the right role, with the right skills and support is our happy place. We’d love to talk to you about how we can help.

Bespoke exercise design.

Having assessment centre exercises developed specifically for your recruitment or development greatly enhances the performance, impact, and validity of your assessments.

We have developed a deep specialism in the area of bespoke assessment design, with an emphasis on creating engaging and immersive exercises - that can be used individually or as part of a flexible suite of activities that build to create a more in depth process.

Assessor training.

Sometimes you have the tools and resources in place, you just need to up skill your people. We can help with that. We offer a range of engaging case study based workshops, including:

• Assessor Skills

• Interview skills

• Resourcing & recruiting

• Social recruiting

Centre Management.

As Psychology Works we can provide you with as much or as little support as you need, when it comes to designing and running a selection process. Whether due to logistics, just needing an extra pair of hands, or an expert eye to oversee the whole process, we can lift the burden of running your assessment centres.

We have a team of expert assessors, centre managers and administrators that can handle every aspect of running a professional and exceptional assessment experience - for both the candidates and the business.

Psychometrics.

As an independent Business Psychology consultancy, with deep technical knowledge in the field of psychometrics, we have access to some of the most innovative ability tests, personality questionnaires, and situational judgement tests (SJT) on the market.

Not aligned with any single test publisher, we can provide objective and independent advice on which test to use, as well as access to these tools as part of our assessment, development, and coaching assignments.

Bespoke test design is also available.

“I've worked with Maria from Psychology Works on a couple of projects in the past, big global marketing projects using psychometrics to benchmark peoples aptitude to their role.

Maria was insightful, intelligent and really helped us create tools that drove inquires and provided value for our target audiences. I could not recommend her more.”
