Assessment & psychology
Comprehensive psychological assessment methods
For the executive evaluation, we use certified evaluation tasks that have undergone a scientific peer review. Conclusions are drawn on the basis of a number of methods, which include not only suitability assessments but also simulation exercises and scenarios. Interviews with psychologists play an important role in management assessments. A certified and licensed assessment psychologist is responsible for the assessment process and supports the client from the beginning of the assessment to the selection of the person.
