Personal Assessment

I can assist you with a complete assessment of one or more internal or external candidates that you have already identified. I then conduct an in-depth interview, a personality test, a leadership test if necessary, an assessment of the candidate’s problem-solving ability and any customized assessment exercise needed, for example the "mail basket".

Tests / References

Gröndahl & partners uses tests and tools to assure the quality of each candidate in the final process. I only use tests approved by STP (Swedish Foundation for Applied Psychology) or by the Norwegian Veritas which has taken over the review process recently. I am a certified user of most of Assessio's test tools www.assessio.se and also the leadership tool Psytest developed in Sweden www.psytest.se. As an aditional option, certain work exams can be applied, such as the “post basket” exercises. The final assessment always includes a Personality Form with feedback to the candidate, and if necessary, proficiency tests (numeric, verbal and inductive ability).

Referencing is often done after the tests to allow for a discussion around the character-related results which came up in the personality test. Great emphasis is placed on a follow-up with the candidate so that they can feel a sense of security and openness. A good final assessment should hopefully give the candidate a better sense of self-awareness, insights about driving forces and possible improvement potential.
