Careerbuild currently offer Psychometric Assessments as an additional service, as per the client's requirements.

If you would like further details regarding psychometric assessments or to enquire about this service please contact Alistair Ling on AL@careerbuild.co.uk.

Careerbuild uses Thomas International’s Personal Profile Analysis (PPA) to assess candidates’ behavioural tendencies. Whilst this has proved time and time again to be a valuable tool in enhancing the recruitment process it has also proved to be of greater importance in the context of the management and retention of staff. This is due to the insights gained from PPA, which provide the employer with a greater understanding of why their people behave the way they do and can therefore be used to hone and modify managers’ communication skills.

Key Benefits of PPA

• Fast, accurate and cost effective
• Takes only 7-8 minutes to complete
• Eliminates the need for guesswork
• Enables more effective people management

Personal Profile Analysis (PPA) provides an insight into how people behave at work, answering questions such as 'What are their strengths and limitations? Are they self-starters? How do they communicate? What motivates them?'

PPA has received a Certificate of Registration from the British Psychological Society (BPS) to confirm it meets all psychometric requirements for use as a psychological tool. Thomas is also a founder member of the Business Test Publishers Association (BTPA) dedicated to improving the quality of published assessments.

PPA enables people to become more aware of their work style. Only by improving their self-awareness will they have the means to consolidate their working strengths and compensate for their behavioural limitations.

Once a PPA is completed there are a wide range of reports (see Sample Reports) available which will enable you to appreciate and understand the way you and/or your people work.
