Your People

Are your biggest resource and can affect public perception of your brand.

Your Brand

Employees are your brand ambassadors — the face of your company and should align with your values and priorities.

Your Resource

Employee turnover is costly in terms of valuable resources, but it can also affect the morale of both current employees and clients.

Your Cost

An ineffective recruitment process leads to bad hires. Retraining, recruiting and rehiring are expensive.

The definition of insanity is repeating the same mistakes over and over again and expecting different results.

Why we partner with The McQuaig Institute®

When your hire doesn’t work out, it’s rarely because their skills or experience aren’t up to scratch. It’s because their BEHAVIOUR wasn’t a good fit for your organisation.

To truly assess candidates, you need to be able to measure what makes them unique and valuable… Are they introverted or extroverted? Do they work better in a group or on their own? Are they a leader or a follower?

  • Are they introverted or extroverted?
  • Do they work better in a group or on their own?
  • Are they a leader or a follower?


These are all critical elements of a person’s ability to do their work and thrive in your business. You cannot assess that through a CV and a bunch of rushed interviews.
