Assessment Surveys

Assessment surveys are the driving force behind symplr Leadership Assessment, providing the lion’s share of candidate data used in the solution. Assessment surveys are designed to measure an individual’s personality, temperament, and competencies to see if they are a good match for the opportunity they seek.

An assessment consists of two sections:

• A survey of approximately 125 questions that compare a candidate's personality to the preferred traits of people working in that specific role.
• A selection of critical thinking questions asking for the best course of action in various hypothetical scenarios.

After all the questions have been answered, the responses are compared to the benchmarks of each job family, and scores are given for each category. These scores serve as a good indicator of a candidate's qualifications for a position and help hiring managers make informed hiring decisions.
