Candidate Assessments
Understanding a person's behavioural style will allow you to evaluate their fit for certain job roles and their preferences for communicating with others.
“Behavior is the mirror in which everyone shows their image.”
— Johann Wolfgang von Goeth
Do you want to understand how a candidate might behave at work before hiring them?
Every individual has their own unique set of behaviours. By understanding a candidate’s behavioural style and the ideal candidate profile, you can:
Tailor interview questions, exploring specific behaviours and motivations in more detail.
Understand their communication style, what motivates them, and how they react to conflict.
Evaluate a candidate’s fit for certain job roles.
Reduce the risk of hiring someone unsuitable.
Help the successful candidate better understand themselves and what the areas of development will be during onboarding.
How I can help you
I use Thomas International’s Personal Profile Analysis (PPA), a workplace behaviour assessment, which provides an accurate insight into how an individual behaves at work. This can be useful as part of a recruitment process and also the development of the candidate if successful.

Thomas PPA: what is it?
Thomas PPA DISC Profile
The Thomas Personal Profile Analysis is registered with the British Psychological Society and audited against technical criteria established by the European Federation of Psychologists’ Association.
The assessment profiles individuals using four main factors: detailing the individual’s preference of style in the workplace helping the individual to understand their communication style, their value to the business, what motivates them, their basic fears and how they behave under pressure. These 4 factors are: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Compliance.
