We Provide Onsite Testing Options

We provide onsite testing options to help you get the best possible candidates in front of your clients and hiring managers. We can provide a variety of tests, including personality assessments, cognitive ability tests and aptitude assessments.

Our onsite testing services include:

  • Personality assessments. These tests measure how people react in certain situations, giving you insight into their personalities and how they fit with the culture of your organization.
  • Cognitive ability tests. These tests measure quantitative reasoning skills, verbal reasoning skills and nonverbal reasoning skills. They’re useful for screening candidates for jobs that require these types of skills.
  • Aptitude assessments. Aptitude assessments measure if candidates have the minimum requirements for success in a specific job role or industry. For example, if you’re hiring for an accounting position, you might use an aptitude test to see if candidates have basic math skills or knowledge of accounting principles.

Why Outsource Executive Search?

Confidentiality when sourcing top executive talent is almost always non-negotiable. We act as the buffer between candidates, competitors and your company. 

While internal recruiters can be effective, the expanded experience of an extended team with decades of combined experience can be invaluable to your executive search team. 

The supply of the highest level executive talent is often obscured and more difficult to find. Our team helps provide scale and scope for finding the absolute best candidate. 

Many hands make light work. Our clients are able to source and close their top-level positions more than 40% faster by engaging with our executive search team.
