Investing in people is risky

All owners, CEOs and HRDs have to make important, sometimes risky, decisions about the people joining, or in, their business. 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?

Reducing the risks

Individual assessments

Employers and ambitious individuals use our flagship assessment service to hire, develop, and identify leaders. Our one-to-one developmental assessments reveal strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. The process includes detailed feedback, providing a comprehensive view of behaviours, key competencies and potential.

Team profiling and assessments

Great teams need a mix of styles, ideas, and opinions. They need self-awareness and a strong understanding of each other’s strengths and weaknesses.
Our assessments provide team diagnostics and individual insights for employers and investors. Our detailed individual and team reports show key themes, strengths, gaps, and lead to development workshops and activities.

Leadership judgement

How good are you at getting things done with, and through, other people? Effective leaders use a range of styles with different people in different situations. We pioneered the use of the Leadership Judgement Indicator 25 years. We still use it daily to test how effectively leaders adapt their style.

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.

What others say

Five stars - testimonial

Thank you, John. Your analysis is excellent and much appreciated. The team dynamics assessment has shown that we have a long way to go as a board and as a team.
As a new team under my leadership, your feedback highlights the necessary work to improve relationships.
Your comments about decision-making and lack of options appraisal explain a lot about our current business state.
I am excited to continue working with you in the next stage.

Steve G. – Managing Director

Team assessment

Are we a good fit?

Do you want to work with an assessment partner that…

  • only uses the best occupational psychology exercises and psychometric tests?
  • has psychologists and consultants who work in the real world of work, so understand what great performance looks like?
  • provides in-depth individual feedback rather than send a computer-generated report?
  • facilitates team workshops to feedback dynamics and kickstart development
  • recognises that personality and behaviour is too complex and nuanced to describe someone as a colour or Myers Briggs type?

four steps to making great assessment-informed decisions

1

call john

Tell him what you want to know about yourself, your candidates, your team, or your entire organisation. He’ll ask you lots of questions and then suggest a way forward.

2

complete assessments

You, or your participants, complete the agreed questionnaire(s) or test(s) online. You will receive practice exercises, where available, helpful instructions and technical support.

3

feedback interview

An in-depth feedback interview will share the results and reports of all exercises. It is a chance to verify, or question, the findings. The goal is to increase self-awareness.

4

development planning

Based on the assessment results and feedback interview, we work with you to start a development plan. We may be able to help further or signpost other providers.
