1. What does an assessment involve?

Each assessment is tailored to your organisation’s needs. We begin with a clear brief and combine a structured interview (usually two to three hours) with evidence-based psychometric measures. Additional tools or exercises can be included depending on the role, context, and objectives.

2. Which psychometric measures do you use?

We are authorised Hogan Suite providers and typically draw on the following:

• HPI (Hogan Personality Inventory) – measures day-to-day traits

• HDS (Hogan Development Survey) – explores how individuals respond under pressure

• MVPI (Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory) – assesses values and drivers

We can also work with alternative measures such as OPQ, Saville Wave, NEO-PIR, or Steve Blinkhorn’s GMA(A) if preferred.

3. How long does the process take?

This depends on the scope of work. A single assessment (including feedback and written report) typically takes between one and two weeks from initial briefing to delivery. Team assessments or larger-scale projects may take longer, and timelines will always be agreed in advance.

4. Will I receive a written report?

Yes. Each assessment is followed by a detailed written report summarising findings, insights, and practical recommendations. The report is written in clear, accessible language and can be tailored to suit your organisation’s needs.

5. Do you provide feedback to participants?

Yes. Every assessed individual receives personal feedback delivered in a confidential session. This helps participants gain valuable self-insight and understand how to use the findings to support their growth and development.

6. How much do your services cost?

Costs vary depending on the number of participants, assessments used, and the level of analysis required. All activities are costed according to the brief, and a full proposal is provided before any work begins.

7. Do you offer coaching?

Yes. We offer executive and developmental coaching as a standalone service or as part of a broader assessment or leadership development programme. Coaching sessions can be arranged in person or online.

8. Can you support team development?

Yes. We design and facilitate team-based sessions that focus on understanding individual styles and working more effectively together. These often draw on psychometric insights to build self-awareness and strengthen collaboration.

9. Can assessments be tailored to our organisation?

Absolutely. Every project begins with a clear brief so we can tailor assessments, exercises, and reporting to your context. Whether you’re recruiting, identifying leadership potential, or supporting development, our approach is always bespoke.

10. Do you work internationally?

Yes. We work with clients across the UK and internationally. Assessments can be conducted remotely or in person, depending on your location and preference.

11. What kind of organisations do you work with?

We work with a range of clients — from public sector bodies and educational institutions to global businesses across financial services, manufacturing, and professional industries. Our work spans recruitment, promotion, leadership development, and organisational insight.

12. Do you offer standalone psychometric testing?

Yes. We can provide psychometric assessments independently of a full assessment process — ideal for selection, development, or coaching contexts.

13. Can you help with recruitment or selection decisions?

Yes. We support clients in designing fair, evidence-based recruitment processes that integrate assessment insights into decision-making.

14. Do you offer post-assessment support?

Yes. We can provide ongoing coaching or follow-up sessions to help embed insights and track progress over time.

15. How do you ensure confidentiality?

Confidentiality is central to our work. All assessments are conducted in accordance with ethical guidelines set by the British Psychological Society (BPS), and data is stored securely in line with GDPR requirements.

16. How is assessment data stored?

All data is handled in line with GDPR and BPS guidance. Reports are shared securely and only with authorised individuals within your organisation. We retain assessment data for a limited period and can provide a data policy upon request.

17. How do you ensure fairness in your assessments?

We use well-validated psychometric measures and structured methods designed to minimise bias and ensure fairness. Every process is reviewed to meet the highest professional and ethical standards.

18. What qualifications do your assessors hold?

All assessments are conducted by qualified occupational psychologists who are registered with the British Psychological Society (BPS) and adhere to its professional code of conduct.

19. Do you offer remote assessments?

Yes. Assessments and interviews can be conducted virtually via secure video call, or in person depending on your preference.

20. Where are you based?

We are based in the UK and work with clients nationwide, both virtually and in person.
