Psychometric Support
At second interview stage, psychometric assessment can be provided in the form of Thomas International or SHL. This form of psychometric testing is typically used in food and drink talent assessment and is popular with many employers, revealing candidate intelligence, aptitudes and personality traits.
We can alleviate a further step of your selection process by providing this facility for candidates who reach the final interview stage. This will be facilitated by Jo Birznieks, on behalf of Harmas Riley. Our provision includes online facilitation and individual feedback.
