Psychometrics
The interconnected, web enabled world of the 21st century has seen dramatic changes in the way people see their careers. Businesses must ensure that their strategies to attract, select, recruit and retain the most talented people are attuned to this revolution in the way we work. Newgrange Consultants are leaders in recruitment best practice, and have pioneered developments in secure, on-line assessment technologies, and link these to clients’ talent management, performance and development processes.
Recruitment
We believe that talent management begins with job design and competency based selection. We work with our clients to ensure that job accountabilities and person specifications are focused on high performance and measurable business outcomes.
We work with clients to build senior teams, assemble sales forces, and fill professional and technical appointments. We use a special blend of attraction and selection methodologies encompassing the best from senior executive search, advertised selection and on-line processes. We have learned how to optimise web-based candidate attraction, and understand when other search methodologies are more pertinent. We never forget that this is a vital time for both the client company and the candidates, and know that whilst technology can work to everyone’s advantage, we are still dealing with people and human relationships.
We place special emphasis on supporting and enabling our clients’ selection processes. Interviewing can be a notoriously difficult process, so we work to ensure that your decision making is the best it can be. Research has proven time and again that the three most reliable forms of selection are grounded in psychometric testing, assessment centres and simulation exercises, and competency based Behavioural Event Interviewing. We use the most sophisticated psychometric assessment and aptitude testing available, and assist clients with our behavioural event interviewing technique. We have designed assessment centres and business simulation exercises to provide deeper insight into candidate capability. We assess potential, measure capability, and calibrate candidates’ team orientation and culture fit.
Our experience at Board and senior executive level enables us to advise clients on the structure and quantum of employment offers, and on special contract terms and incentive plans.
Talent Management
Independent research has proven that the most effective way to retain the best talent within an organisation is to create opportunities for genuine career development.
The Newgrange suite of talent management tools enable businesses to identify high potential and genuine talent, and establish stretching development opportunities that also have a commercial payback.
Our Human Capital Audit tools ensure objective assessment of people’s capabilities and future potential. Our professional development planning tools establish job and project based challenges to test potential and create new opportunities.
We pay particular attention to supporting both the business and the high potential employees to address the challenges of major career development stages. Some sales people make great sales leaders, others never make that leap. Some Accountants have the potential to be Chief Financial Officers; others should continue to develop as finance professionals. The transition from Chief Operating Officer to Chief Executive is regarded by many as the hardest such challenge of all.
From graduate development to Executive coaching, Newgrange Consultants can facilitate objective, positive and commercially relevant talent management across your business.
Psychometric Assessment
Newgrange Consultants work at the leading edge of psychometric assessment for selection, professional development and talent management purposes. We ally the use of the most advanced, 21st century on-line assessment tools with expert interpretation to ensure that the full picture about a person’s talents are truly understood.
Our psychometric instruments assess personality and work behaviour, competencies and capabilities, motivation, culture fit and team alignment. These ensure that we can provide the most accurate, valid and meaningful information to you about peoples’ thinking processes, their leadership skills and potential, their reliance and adaptability, and their work style in delivering against objectives.
Our psychometric tools have been utilised across all stages of the human capital cycle, from CEO appointments to management development plans. Whilst we have screening tools for volume recruitment campaigns, our clients report that the greatest value comes from the use of our tools for final selection in senior appointments, and in the creation of development plans for high potential people.
Newgrange Consultants have the experience, knowledge and judgement to enable organisations to make sound recruitment judgements, avoid or manage known risks, and maximise the development potential of their people.
