Assessments for Public Sector Recruiting
Public Sector psychometric assessments are generally used when a government department or public sector business needs to hire a number of staff or provide internal training and development for current employees.
Success in a public sector role usually requires a combination of strong personality traits from problem solving and flexible thinking to leadership and interpersonal skills.
As public sector officials tend to be more heavily scrutinised by their customers (i.e. the public) making the wrong appointment to a public sector role can cause significant disruption to public bodies and their reputations.
Our team of expert business psychologists work with your organisation to provide a comprehensive analysis of your public sector roles, the tasks they perform and how they interact with the rest of the business.
After getting to know your company we utilise a range of innovative assessment solutions to help support and enhance your leadership recruitment process.
Our psychometric assessments can be fully customised to match both your organisational values and the roles being offered.
