Assessing capability and potential
“The secret of my success is that we have gone to exceptional lengths to hire the best people.”
Steve Jobs, Co-Founder of Apple
Developing Talent provides in-depth assessments of individuals’ strengths, development areas, personality traits, motivations and suitability for a specific role.
People decisions impact the culture, performance and future success of businesses. Our team provides invaluable, objective insight to identify and develop the talent within your organisation.
Executive and Senior Leader Assessment
Understanding what makes an individual tick, their typical ways of working, where they excel and where their development needs are, all enables us to make insightful recommendations about their fit and future potential. This approach works well for both recruitment and restructuring.
Developing Talent uses techniques such as case studies, personality questionnaires and ability tests, along with structured questions, to inform our highly experienced interviewers about the suitability of candidates. This helps you to take the chance out of recruitment and promotion decisions for senior positions.
