Our Services
At ZAssessments, we administer, score and report on psychological evaluation test batteries which are designed to identify candidates with the greatest potential to learn new skills and knowledge, particularly those skills which are crucial for learning and educational environments.
We assist corporates to facilitate decisions regarding candidate eligibility for:
1. Recruitment and Selection
2. Career Development and Upward Mobility
3. Skills Development and Learning
4. Leadership Development
1. Recruitment and Selection
At ZAssessments, we conduct psychological evaluation of your applicants to ensure you select the right candidates who meet the job requirements and selection criteria.
By conducting psychometric assessments specifically related to the job profile, an applicant’s reasoning abilities, personality, work related integrity and emotional intelligence can be identified to assist in ensuring the best placement.
2. Career Development and Upward Mobility
We use psychometric tests to evaluate your employees to facilitate the promotion of the best candidates to ensure succession planning and staff retention.
By using, valid and reliable assessment techniques, employees with promotional and managerial potential will be identified more easily. Once identified, individual development plans can be compiled wherein the employee’s development needs can be addressed in order to ensure their development towards optimal performance at Managerial level.
3. Skills Development and Learning
Psychological evaluation of your employees will ensure the training and development of the best employees. This will ensure the organic growth of the skills pool/talent pipeline for sustainability.
Using our valid and reliable assessment techniques, we help identify candidates who meet job specific role requirements.
Candidates can be developed within the role or reassigned to a more suitable role where their skills and abilities can be used effectively to the benefit of the organisation.
4. Workplace Stress Support
We are well acquainted with and provide support and counselling for workplace dynamics and career-related stressors such as:
- Long hours and heavy workload
- Job insecurity
- Disciplinary action
- Restructuring and retrenchments
- Conflict with co-workers and/or management
- Workplace bullying
- Burnout syndrome
- Working-mom burnout
- Work-life integration
5. Career Planning
- Few decisions in life are as important as the choice of a career and every possible step should be taken to assess those factors that can predict career success.
- It has been shown that interests and self-estimates of ability are very helpful in making the right career decisions.
- Our career assessment tools are applicable to individuals in High School and Institutions of Higher Learning and to adults in employment seeking a mid-career change.
- Remember that managing an individual’s career is not a one-time decision but a series of decisions made over one’s lifetime.
a. Strong Interest Inventory
- This instrument is a powerful tool that can help an individual make satisfying decisions about their career and education. Whether one is just starting out in their career, thinking about a change, or considering education options for career preparation, individuals can benefit from the wealth of information reflected in their Strong results. Understanding their Strong profile can help an individual identify a career focus and begin their career planning and exploration process.
- The Strong measures interests not skills or abilities, and the results can help guide an individual toward rewarding careers, work activities, education programs and leisure activities – all based on their interests.
b. Career Interest Profile
- This questionnaire has been developed and consequently should be interpreted from the outlook that individuals are the sole experts on their lives and consequently make their own career choices on their own.
- As such no person should make such life determining choices for or on behalf of an individual.
c. Maree Career Matrix
- This tool measures an individual’s attraction to various job categories by asking them to rate their interest and skill levels in a variety of different occupations.
d. Sources of Work Stress Inventory
- This questionnaire examines how stressed an individual is at work by way of a series of questions outlined on the questionnaire.
