PTES Psychometric Assessment Services
Established in 2008, PTES Consulting is an International consulting firm that specialises in psychometric assessment for recruitment and personal development, leadership assessment, organisational development through skills auditing. One of our unique offerings is our language and culture free assessments that are designed to eliminate cultural bias.
We specialise in International assessments in the Public and Private sector considering the unique environment surrounding the organisation. Current research suggests that leadership challenges facing the world today are the management of effectiveness and productivity of employees. The ability to inspire and motivate others through persuasion, subtle influencing, coaching and mentoring. Another key challenge is the ability to lead, build and manage teams. Lastly, but not least is the ability to be a successful change leader to guide organisations through times of turmoil. Appointing the correct leader and the development of existing leadership skills is therefore critical. Apart from identifying and assessing the correct external skills for employment, we conduct internal skills audits to assess the existing skills and competencies within the organisation. We use the results to plot the employee’s work level on the Stratified Systems Model (SSM) to determine the current strengths but also the gaps from a cognitive, experience and competence perspective.
What We Do
Our approach to industrial psychology and business is based on science. We investigate the functionality of people, systems, and processes within organisations to enable optimal efficiency. We make use of scientific reliable tools such as surveys and customised assessments which have specifically been developed for the South African milieu.
In order to achieve top performance goals and develop high-performance cultures, it is crucial to analyze the organisation and identify the manner in which the organisation operates. We assist organisations to utilize their most valued resource, human capital, to improve efficiency and expand productivity.
Why Choose Us
Minimising employment risk
PTES’s main focus is helping the organisation avoid employment risk through the use of unique psychological integrity and competency assessments. What are the potential risks of hiring the wrong person? The definite result is financial costs and unforeseen losses. The cost of interviewing, hiring, and training a new recruit are high and are wasted if that employee is a bad hire and has to leave the business. Some of the consequences cannot be calculated such as low employee morale that has spread and severely affected client relationships and unhappy customers that do not return to your organisation.
Cultural and language free assessment
PTES uses assessments that were specifically developed to reduce cultural bias and ensure fair and objective assessment. We use culture fair assessments that are designed to be applied across social lines and to permit equitable comparisons among people from different backgrounds. Our assessments are therefore internationally applicable.
Strong ethics, high quality and timeous service delivery
PTES prides themselves on their strong ethical application of assessments and psychological services. We understand business and employment pressures and uses ethics and our moral code to guide our clients in the right direction. Our clients know us to be honest, reliable and transparent.
