Personality Assessment

Discover how individual behaviour styles influence performance, teamwork and job satisfaction. Our assessment goes beyond surface impressions to pinpoint the traits that drive motivation, collaboration and resilience, so you can align people with roles where they’ll truly excel.

Establishing A Candidates Job Fit (Benchmarking) Ensuring Round Pegs in Round Holes.

The predictive power of benchmarking lies in the ability to compare your applicants to recognised high performers in the same role. Our system benchmarks are carefully created by a team of occupational psychologists ready for you to use.

Xel’s Personality Questionnaire measures your applicant’s key personality traits and compares them against a benchmark of high performers in the same role. This results in an individual job fit score. You can select from over 150 benchmarks or with our help create a custom benchmark based on your own top performers.
