Assessments for professional services

In advisory work you sell people. A junior who leaves after two years costs the firm the training investment and the client's trust. A measurement up front shows who can handle the analytical work and who holds their own with a client.

hrmforce measures abilities, drives and behaviour in half an hour, with a report the partner reads directly.

Roles in professional services

Sharp analysis does not yet make someone an adviser clients ask for. That difference sits in behaviour. These roles come up most often.

Why university grades say little

Firms recruit from the same pool: graduates with comparable grades and internships. On paper they look alike. The difference shows in the third year, when one runs a client conversation alone and the other still waits for instructions. Drives and work attitude predict that earlier than a transcript. For the step to partner it also matters whether someone wants other people's work to succeed, or mainly wants to do it themselves.

How we measure that

Assessments used in professional services

These instruments are used most often in this sector. Every assessment has its own page with the evidence base and example questions.

How a firm sets it up

1

For trainee selection every candidate gets the same set: abilities and drives. That makes an intake year comparable.

2

For experienced advisers the emphasis lies on behaviour and cooperation, with 360 degree feedback from clients and colleagues.

3

The outcome feeds the annual review, so development agreements rest on something you can measure again a year later.

What it delivers

Firms measuring at the front hold on to their trainee intake longer, and see earlier who is moving towards client responsibility.

Frequently asked questions

How long does trainee selection with assessments take?+

The candidate spends about 45 minutes on abilities and drives. The report is ready immediately, so your lead time barely changes.

Can we discuss the outcome with the candidate?+

Yes, and it often works in your favour. Candidates who get feedback rate the procedure higher, even when they are rejected.
