ASSESSMENT.

Assessment for selection and development.

We understand that you need to identify the very best leaders for your business. We also know that the wrong appointment can be extremely costly.

Research carried out by the Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC) found that a poor hire at mid-manager level with a salary of £42,000 can cost a business more than £132,000 due to the accumulation of costs relating to training, lost productivity and more.

The true cost of a bad apple is not just financial…

While the financial impact is quantifiable, chief financial officers actually rank a bad hire's morale and productivity impacts ahead of monetary losses.

With so much at stake we understand the importance of getting it right, and that in pretty much all cases a quick CV sift and an interview just won’t cut it.
