Measuring capability

Objective assessment of the skills and abilities you need to make a difference

Why leave it to chance?  Objective assessment of capability is one of the most difficult challenges facing assessment professionals, but research consistently shows capability is fundamental to job success at all levels.  Particularly important in areas such as graduate recruitment or other situations where applicants may have little relevant job experience, capability measures reliably indicate the potential of applicants to acquire the skills key to your organisation’s success.

With a comprehensive range of tools covering Verbal, Numerical and Abstract Reasoning and Memory and Attention, the Profiling for Success assessments remove the guesswork from capability assessment.  The PfS range gives you the flexibility to match assessments against your core competencies and at the right level for your applicants.  With the flexibility of online delivery, you can position the assessments where they will be most effective in your selection process, giving substantial efficiency savings.

Best predictor of job performance and success...

Research from the UK and across the world has consistently shown capability tests, such as those available through PfS, to be the single best predictor of job performance and success on job-related training courses.  In some cases their validity is almost as high as assessments centres.

 

Even with experienced applicants, assessing capability remains important.  Recent UK research shows the validity of capability tests to increase with job complexity; so for complex areas of work understanding capability is key to successful recruitment decisions.
