CarterCorson have many years of executive recruitment experience using search, selection and assessment centres and we are proud to be one of a select few companies approved under the NHS Executive Search and Assessment Framework.

When it comes to executive recruitment the cost of error can be very high; a poor recruitment decision can have disastrous effects on your business and your stakeholders.  Using our rigorous assessment processes, as business psychologists we focus not only on the core skills and abilities for the role but also the key areas of style, culture and leadership values.  If required, this process can feed into our development or coaching programmes to ensure the new appointee can ‘hit the ground running’, fitting seamlessly into their new team with minimum disruption.

Psychometric testing allows companies to make more informed choices when recruiting key staff helping them to decide whether a candidate’s behavioural traits and core skills and abilities match the role in question.

All CarterCorson consultants are qualified in Level A and B Psychometric Testing and we hold the licenses to carry out these tests on behalf of our clients.  Whether clients are looking for personality profiling, motivational profiling or ability tests, we are able to select and administer the relevant tests to get beneath the surface of your candidates.

Assessment centres are currently the most valid way to assess the competence and behaviours of an individual against the demands of a role. CarterCorson’s reputation for designing and delivering high level, successful and creative assessment centres, is second to none.

Customised to the needs of the client, our assessment focuses on abilities and behaviours in two ways: what can be directly observed during the assessment process and what can be inferred from what is said and done.  The aim of the assessment centre is to generate sufficient evidence about a person’s suitability for a role.
