What is ASSESS Competency Survey?

The case

Why does it matter?

A wrong senior hire costs 15x salary once you count severance, replacement recruitment, lost productivity and team disruption (Boushey & Glynn, 2012). Interview-only decisions rely heavily on charisma and rapport, which research shows correlates poorly with actual job performance โ€” structured, competency-based assessment closes that gap.

Who is ASSESS Competency Survey for?

The process

How does ASSESS Competency Survey work?

  1. 1

    Candidate completes a ~35-minute self-report survey covering behavioural preferences

  2. 2

    AXIS360 scores against 31 competencies and maps to your chosen role benchmark

  3. 3

    You receive a Board-ready decision report with hire/no-hire recommendation and rationale

More personality & behaviour and where they are used

Using results responsibly. Assessment results describe tendencies and preferences at the time of testing; they are one input to a decision, not a verdict. Use them alongside a structured interview, work samples and references, tell candidates how their results will be used, and avoid treating any single score as a pass or fail line unless it has been validated for that purpose in your own setting.
Questions

Frequently asked questions

How is ASSESS different from a generic personality test?

ASSESS is built entirely on open-domain, non-proprietary science (Big Five, HEXACO, occupational psychology research) and normed specifically on Indian professional samples, then mapped to 31 named competencies with direct hiring and development relevance โ€” not abstract trait labels.

Can I benchmark against my specific industry?

Percentile comparisons use the AXIS360 Global & Indian norm sample (n=7K+). You can also compare against your own organisation's completed results in Norm & Benchmarking.
