RESEARCH DRIVEN RESULTS
We can provide a full range of psychometric reporting either as part of the full executive search process or as a stand-alone product.
A psychometric profile can identify leadership styles, skills and capabilities that an interview alone could fail to find. Psychometric profiling can add substantial value to any process as well as for career advancement and progression purposes.
There are often times that an internal assessment can help in developing the entire executive team. Dynamic and evolving assessments for existing employees can identify the root cause of problems or developed behaviours detrimental to business success.
By obtaining a strong understanding of your employees, through executive assessment, you will develop a highly capable top-team, which in turn will help maximise results and deliver your business strategy.

Psychometric Assessment: Objective Insight
As part of our Executive Assessment, we offer clients the option of psychometric evaluation, typically at the second interview stage. We partner with Thomas International to deliver DISC analysis—a globally respected tool for understanding behavioural preferences and working styles.
The DISC assessment examines four key dimensions:
- Dominance: Approach to challenges and problem-solving
- Influence: Communication and relationship-building style
- Steadiness: Response to change and consistency
- Compliance: Attitude towards procedures and detail
These insights are invaluable in predicting leadership approach, team dynamics, and cultural fit—critical factors in executive success.
