Executive Assessment
Executive assessment is considered a specialized application of psychological consulting, focused on executive and senior leadership positions. Fundamentally, executive assessment provides a systematic means of gathering, analyzing and contextualizing information and observations of an executive candidate’s suitability and probability for success under a given set of circumstances in a specific organizational structure.
We have over 30 years of experience in providing our life science clients with in-depth, comprehensive executive assessments and psychometric testing for executive hiring, promotion, succession planning, project management, and team assignments.

We conduct executive assessments using our own proprietary assessment matrix of interviews, trained observation, performance evaluations, and psychometric tools—which we have developed, tested, and constantly reassessed against actual outcomes. Results are benchmarked against a proprietary database of thousands of the world’s top senior finance executives collected over the past 30-plus years.
Candidates are assessed for cognitive ability, professional skills, previous experience, leadership, situational judgment, adaptability, effective communication, energy level, work ethic, motivation, goals, personality, interpersonal skills, and their ability to perform optimally within the company’s culture and organizational dynamics.

Psychometric Assessment
When correctly formulated, tested in followup studies, administered and interpreted by qualified, experienced professionals, psychometric assessments are a useful tool. Results should be viewed as an indicator but not necessarily predictive of job performance and should never be relied upon in isolation.
Our Psychometric Assessments are used to measure aspects of intelligence, critical thinking skills, and judgment, including multifaceted problem-solving, ability to identify patterns in dissimilar information, strategic agility/adaptability to changing circumstances, situational judgment; abstract, verbal, numerical, and logical reasoning.
Psychometric assessments have questionable predictive validity when testing emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills. Our candidates are highly intelligent and accomplished professionals for whom the psychometric emotional intelligence and personality tests are embarrassingly transparent and easily manipulated. A trained, qualified, experienced professional interviewer will provide more accurate, contextual results.
