Good assessment and psychometric testing provides the information they can’t get from interviews alone. Assessment is at the heart of everything we do. Whether you are [hiring](), [developing](), or [restructuring](), assessment will form part of the project when you work with bfpeople. ### Could you benefit from knowing… - The **real** strengths and weaknesses of your candidates, your team – or even yourself? - What someone’s leadership style is **really** like – and how they can improve? - What their derailers are – how their behaviour might change when under pressure or stressed? - Whether your sales candidates have the resilience, perseverance and skills they **say** they have? - What the main gaps are in your team? - Who **really** has potential in your business? ![bfpeople video thumbnail]() Click above to watch our assessment video ## Reducing the risks ### Individual assessments Employers and ambitious individuals use our flagship assessment service to hire, develop, and identify leaders.

We pioneered the use of the Leadership Judgement Indicator 25 years. We still use it daily to test how effectively leaders adapt their style. [Learn more]() ## Can performance be predicted? Many in the assessment and testing industry claim that they can accurately predict workplace performance. However, there is no completely fool-proof method to do so. We live in a volatile world. People, organisations and environments change too rapidly to be sure what will happen. And, it’s not always the individual who is at fault. There are many examples of high performers who struggle when working with an ineffective manager, or in a mismatched culture. In the absence of a crystal ball, good assessment (and an experienced assessor) is the next best thing. Our assessment provide a wealth of valuable information about leadership style, attitudes, behaviours and strengths. They also shed light on important liabilities, potential derailing factors, and even toxic characteristics. We use psychometric assessments with teams to give a clear picture of collective dynamics and individual characteristics. This shows what helps, and hinders, the team to achieve their goals and objectives. And the review and feedback sets the scene for leadership and team development. You gain a comprehensive perspective through bfpeople’s rigorous assessments and robust feedback interviews. This is invaluable when you need to make important decisions about people and teams in your business or your own career. ## A selection of completed assessment projects #### Scroll to view more **Assessment of “partnership potential”** Law firm **Leadership assessment and benchmarking** Engineering products **360° assessment** **and feedback** Advertising agency **Assessment of future leaders potential** Digital agency **Management audit for investors** Tech start up **Fast track leadership assessment** Financial services **“Top team”** **dynamics assessment** Various industries **Assessment of recruitment consultant candidates** Specialist recruiters **Assessment of contact centre operatives** outsourcing **Leadership assessment of Head of Buying** Multiple retailer **Assessment of CEO candidates** Government organisation **Assessment & development centre design/delivery** Multiple retailer **Assessment for senior management restructure** Numerous indsutries **Design of “situational judgement” application form** Food retailer **High potential assessment of 80 Engineers** Global engineering **Assessment of Financial Director candidates** High-growth SaaS [Let’s talk]() > _A person is like the moon: > there’s always the part of the moon that he won’t let you see.”_ > > Anon ## What others say ![Five stars - testimonial]() > _Thank you, John.
