Our Talent Assessment Approach

When you decide to partner with us for your talent assessment solutions, there are generally 5 steps involved. Those are briefly described below.

Why Partner with Us?

Let’s face it – it’s a crowded playing field out there, and you have options.

We work hard to differentiate ourselves from other talent assessment solution providers by focusing on two things: The Science and Our Customers.

The Science

We have access to a wide range of test publishers and rigorously review the reliability, validity, and utility of different tools. This allows us to assemble online test batteries based on psychometrics and utility.
We do not use “type indicators” because they are not reliable, valid, or useful for selection, development, or succession planning.
We conduct validation studies to show the relationship between our assessment results and performance ratings, turnover, and other important work outcomes.
We’ve established our own norms. This allows for comparison to relevant reference groups of thousands of others who have taken the same assessments.
We stay up to date on the latest scientific research in organizational psychology journals. This continually gives us fresh, data-driven insights into what drives behavior at work, how to predict it, and how to change it.

The Science of Personality

There is a great deal of scientific research showing that there are 5 personality domains, each with 2 aspects, as shown in the image below. Each aspect is broken down further into multiple facets. And, each facet predicts different types of on-the-job behaviors and work-related outcomes.

Every talent assessment we conduct is grounded in this conceptual framework. That’s because it is – by far – the one that has the most scientific research to back it up. And, that’s why our assessments are so accurate in describing people and predicting their behavior and performance.

Our Customers

We recognize that every customer has unique needs and challenges. That’s why a one-size-fits all approach doesn’t work. Every customer ends up with a unique set of solutions based on their current needs. And when things change, we adapt.
We don’t believe in the bait-and-switch. You will meet your lead psychologist during the consult phase. They will be your go-to person, designing your talent assessment solutions, conducting assessments, and providing ongoing support.”
We do believe in providing unsurpassed customer service. We guarantee that you will not find a team that is more accessible or responsive than ours. Every customer, no matter how big or small the engagement, receives the same level of service.

We are grateful for our customers. Here’s what some have had to say about their experience.

"I highly recommend PCI on the basis of the value achieved from improved selection decisions, PCI’s customer focus and ability to customize 'fit for use' approaches, and their impeccable responsiveness and follow through.”

“We really enjoy our relationship with PCI and their ability to get us the best people. When we started working with them, they took the time to understand who we are and our culture—culture is key—so they would know if folks would fit. I absolutely swear by their process. It has worked for us over the decades.”

“The assessments performed by PCI are top shelf. Their analysis is insightful, accessible, refreshingly candid and reasonably priced. They are accustomed to working with tight time demands and high expectations for excellence. PCI delivers every time.”

“In this competitive landscape of recruiting and retaining the best and brightest, it was important to Matthews International to partner with a leading assessment testing firm to provide us with one more data point in our holistic approach to sourcing and interviewing for current openings as well as developing our high potentials for successor roles. PCI provides us with that reassurance that we have captured the complete picture on the capabilities of our job candidates and existing talent .”
