Executive Assessments

Not all executive assessments are created equal. Ours have industry-leading predictive validity at a reasonable cost.

Objectivity in Every Step

We don't recruit.

It's hard - if not impossible - to be both advocate and judge, so we don't do executive search. We do executive assessments, and we do it very well. Because we have no stake in the game, you get an unbiased, objective evaluation - every time.

We do Non-invasive, Structured Interviews.

We don't ask about a person's upbringing, childhood experiences, or decisions they made decades ago. These things are subjective, don't predict well, and make people uncomfortable. And, we ask the same questions every time to evaluate their motivations, personality, leadership style, and self-awareness. 

We don't evaluate experience or "pedigree."

Why not? Because they are poor predictors of job performance. Also, you don't need a psychologist to tell you what prior experiences are needed. You and your search firm can do that.

We weight psychometrics heavily.

Scores for all participants are compared to PCI's proprietary norm group and those percentiles serve as the basis for our ratings. Interviews provide secondary data that improves the preciseness of our interpretations of the test data.

We conduct peer reviews.

Two psychologists review the test data and interview notes, and assign ratings independently. Then, they come to a consensus using data-driven arguments. Finally, they discuss key strengths and gaps to gain alignment and ensure objectivity.

Interviews are voice only.

This approach eliminates biases that can result from the person's mannerisms, appearance, and workspace.
