Psychometric and Ability Testing
Getting a truer picture of your people
Utilising the world-leading Hogan assessment suites, our skilled in-house resources are fully equipped to provide psychometric testing, analysis and reports.
These detailed assessments provide valuable insights into prospective candidate’s motivations, values and personality. They examine how well an individual will work and lead as well as revealing traits which could emerge in times of stress and which might, if left unaddressed, derail an individual’s chances of success.
We can also provide guidance and access to other effective psychometric and ability testing tools and industry-leading assessment centres.
While recruiting our new Finance Director we decided to take advantage of FWB’s in-house psychometric analysis (Hogan assessments) to provide some deeper insight into our final stage candidates.
The output was enlightening and the service was quick and efficiently delivered. Rebecca provided us with incisive interpretation and the opportunity to discuss the output with her directly was really helpful.

The search attracted a wide range of candidates in the UK, Irish and North American markets, with the successful candidate relocating to take up the post.

Our search resulted in a successful appointment being made in Houston, Texas.
