Who I Am
As a certified professional in psychometric testing, MBTI, and psychology, I help CEO’S and CHRO’S make informed decisions about hiring, retention, and career growth.
Psychometric tests and psychological assessments provide valuable insights into a candidate’s personality, cognitive abilities, and behavior.
By using these tools, we can identify candidates whose values and work styles match your company culture and job requirements, reducing hiring mistakes and improving retention.
Understanding what motivates employees and what keeps them satisfied helps us address concerns and develop personalized career development plans.
We also use these insights to guide career progression, identify high-potential employees and offering them targeted development opportunities.
This includes assessing leadership potential and designing training programs to nurture future leaders.
By planning for succession, we ensure a smooth transition for key leadership roles.
With my expertise, I can help your organization make data-driven decisions that enhance overall success.
- In a recent consulting gig, I was asked to assist in the selection of a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for an IT consulting firm. Psychology and personality tests played a critical role in the hiring process.
- As an HR consultant, I was tasked with evaluating four shortlisted candidates who had successfully cleared the final interview round. The integration of personality assessments provided valuable insights that guided the final decision-making process.
- The hiring process began with a comprehensive review of each candidate's qualifications and experience, focusing on their technical skills and previous accomplishments in finance. To enhance the selection criteria, each candidate was required to complete a personality test, looking for factors such as extraversion, agreeableness, and openness.
- This allowed us to gain a deeper understanding of each candidate's interpersonal skills, stress management capabilities, and overall compatibility with the company culture. Findings from the personality tests were analyzed alongside the candidates' resumes and interview performances. This helped identify which candidates not only possessed the necessary skills but also exhibited the personality traits that aligned with the company's values and the demands of the CFO role.
- The insights gained from the personality assessments were pivotal in differentiating between the candidates, even if by a small margin. For instance, one candidate demonstrated high conscientiousness and emotional stability, which aligned well with the strategic and often high-pressure nature of the CFO position. Another candidate, while technically proficient, scored lower in agreeableness, raising concerns about their ability to collaborate effectively with other executives and teams.
- Ultimately, the combination of technical qualifications and personality insights enabled us to select a candidate who was not only capable of managing the financial operations of the organization but also fit well within the team dynamics. This assignment underscored the importance of integrating psychological assessments into the hiring process, particularly for senior positions like CFO, where both hard and soft skills are crucial for success.
