Hays Executive Assessments:

psychometric tests for your recruitment

Who really fits into your team – and has the professional and personal skills you need?

With our highly validated psychometric tests, you can find the best fit for your company. Compare your candidates based on objective, scientifically sound data and make your personnel decisions more transparently and confidently.

No matter how your applications are received, our structured assessment service gives you a neutral and in-depth insight into the suitability of your applicants. You can assess role-specific skills, key personality traits and cultural fit. At the end, you have a direct comparison of your applicants and can select the person who is the best fit for you.

Our three psychometric testing methods

Wave (Saville) – reveals leadership style, work preferences and professional behaviour patterns.
Hogan Development Survey (Hogan) – identifies potential risk factors and behaviours under stress.
Swift Executive Aptitude (Saville) – measures cognitive performance and problem-solving skills.

All test methods provide you with a quick and valid basis for decision-making, allowing you to compare talents in an informed manner. The procedures highlight three key perspectives: skills, working style and risk behaviour.

The test procedure:

1. Telephone briefing

We inform your candidates about the procedure and ensure that all questions are clarified in advance.

2. Online test administration

The psychometric tests are completed online, flexibly and regardless of location.

3. Validation interview

We then discuss the test results and conduct a interview with the candidates in which we take another in-depth look at the characteristics and skills relevant to success in the role.

4. The Results report

You will receive a comprehensive report on all tested candidates – including clear recommendations for action for your personnel selection.

Why psychometric tests are helpful for your personnel selection

Our psychometric tests complement traditional job interviews by providing an objective, data-based perspective. This allows you to make personnel decisions not only faster, but also with greater confidence. The procedures reduce subjective bias, reveal potential and improve the comparability of your candidates.
