Assessment can be used very effectively to inform recruitment decisions. It can equally enhance the recruitment experience from a candidate perspective, providing them with useful developmental feedback. Perhaps more importantly it can give us the necessary information to build teams with the correct balance of skills whilst informing the employer of a new candidates development needs.

At Berwick Partners we tailor our solutions to your needs; this could be a volume, online assessment for middle management or a highly bespoke technical assessment. Our assessors and business psychologists have access to a wide variety of tools but also embrace innovation and enjoy designing challenging and rewarding assessment days.

Below is a more generic outline of what we can do.

Ability Tests

Ability tests measure an individual’s intellectual ability, particularly around logical and analytical reasoning. These are an important part of leadership assessment. Results can be linked to specific skills requirements in a role. It can help predict performance with regard to critical areas of need in an organisation.

Personality Questionnaires

Personality questionnaires consider an individual’s preferences in the workplace and their reaction to a given set of circumstances. They can help indicate whether someone is suited to a particular organisational environment and culture. They also offer an insight into personal motivation and values.

Assessment Centre Exercises

Assessment centre exercises can complement personality instruments and give valuable information relating to key competencies. They are particularly relevant at a middle management level, where a group of people will be required to work together or when a new team member is being recruited.
