The Hidden Costs of Hiring for Credentials Alone

Without objective behavioral data, you’re making critical decisions on incomplete information, hoping an impressive background translates to effective leadership.

“They interviewed great, but are struggling to unite their team.”

“Everyone has a different opinion on who to hire”

“We keep promoting our best performers and watching them struggle as managers”

“New hires take forever to get up to speed, and some never do”

How We Identify Strong Leadership Potential

Whether you’re hiring executives, promoting from within, building competency frameworks, or screening entry-level candidates, our assessments provide the behavioral and cognitive data you need to make confident decisions.

Assessment for High-Potentials

Quickly evaluate the behavioral flexibility, strategic thinking, and interpersonal effectiveness required for senior and executive leadership roles.

Our assessment approach identifies key behavioral patterns using the Dimensional®  Model of Behavior™, cognitive capability, and personality factors that predict leadership success, and readiness. 

New Hire Assessment

Reduce bad hire risk by adding objective behavioral data to your hiring process. Our psychometric assessments predict how candidates will actually perform in your specific leadership context, not just whether they can talk about leadership principles in an interview.

Expat Assessments

International assignments fail when technically capable leaders can’t adapt to cultural differences, ambiguity, or the isolation of expat life. Standard assessments don’t predict expat success because they don’t measure what makes international leadership different.

Our expat assessments evaluate cultural adaptability and openness, resilience under ambiguity and stress, relationship-building across cultural boundaries. We’re also one of the few firms that formally evaluates partner readiness because we know family system dynamics make or break international assignments.

Entry-Level Assessments

Efficient, scalable assessment for high-volume hiring that still maintains quality standards and identifies future leaders early.

Screen for behavioral patterns that predict success in your environment, baseline cognitive ability for role demands, learning agility and coachability, and alignment with organizational values and work approach. 


Competency Modeling 

Generic leadership competencies don’t account for what makes leaders successful in your specific organization, industry, and culture. Custom competency modeling defines the behaviors that actually drive performance in your context, creating a common language for assessment, development, and promotion decisions.

We work with you to identify role-specific success factors through structured analysis, define observable behaviors that separate high performers from average, curate assessment tools calibrated to your competencies, and build interview guides and evaluation criteria aligned to your model.

1

Define Success Criteria

We start by understanding what leadership success looks like in your business. Through structured interviews and job analysis, we identify the specific behavioral patterns, capabilities, and characteristics that separate your high performers from average performers in the role you’re filling.

2

Deploy Research-Backed Assessments

Candidates complete validated psychometric assessments measuring behavioral patterns, cognitive ability, and role-specific factors to predict real-world performance. We combine multiple data points to create a complete picture of capability and fit.

3

Turn Data into Decisions

Assessment results provide objective comparison across candidates, identify developmental focus areas for onboarding, and support calibrated decision-making. You get clear recommendations based on behavioral science with specific guidance on how to set up new hires for success.

Frequently Asked Questions

Assessment accuracy depends on what you’re measuring and how you use the data. Our tools have validation studies showing predictive correlations with leadership performance, meaning they statistically predict who’s more likely to succeed. Keep in mind, an assessment is only one part of the hiring equation, which is why we never recommend making decisions on assessment data alone.

When implemented well, assessment enhances candidate experience by demonstrating your organization makes hiring decisions thoughtfully and systematically. Candidates appreciate clear expectations, structured processes, and feedback on their strengths.

We provide client-friendly reports, clear communication about what’s being assessed and why, reasonable time expectations , and developmental feedback for candidates who move forward. Poor candidate experience happens when assessment feels arbitrary, takes excessive time without explanation, or provides no feedback. We help you avoid these pitfalls.

Yes, when properly validated and implemented. Our assessments are research-backed, job-related (measuring competencies directly tied to role requirements), consistently applied to all candidates, and documented for defensibility. We follow best practices for employment testing.
