Supporting the decision making process

The outcome we provide is not just a "pass/fail" against a generic standard. There are three possibilities:

• A clear recommendation not to appoint, with a full explanation in terms of a candidate's gaps and the risks you would run if you made the appointment.
• For a candidate who is a good fit, a clear recommendation to appoint, complemented with detailed advice about steps that need to be taken to ensure that someone of this calibre joining a new organisation, or stepping up to a new role, is positioned early on for rapid success.
• A conditional recommendation, where we can see that someone is a partial match. In these cases, as well as a balanced view of strengths and gaps in relation to what is needed, we clearly set out the risks involved in the appointment, and the steps that need to be taken to maximise the chances of success.

Sometimes our assessments are conducted in advance of internal interviews thereby enabling us to advise you on areas you may wish to explore further with candidates.
