Our Approach
Niche Consulting Limited’s philosophy is to support our clients by recommending the best psychometric assessment tools and tests available to suit their situation and need.
We have extensive experience managing psychological assessment delivery for our clients. We have efficient, timely and customer focused processes that make our psychological testing services easy to use and responsive to your needs.
What makes Niche different?
At Niche we pride ourselves in being independent from any one test provider. Many other psychologists align themselves with one test developer, such as SHL, Hogan or Genesis Systems. We on the other hand source reputable tests from multiple suppliers so we can have a wide range of assessments to suit different client needs.
Reporting
We can fully customise our reporting to your needs and HR frameworks. While we use some computerised reports, most of our reports still require the skill of an experienced psychologist who looks at the job description and competencies and interprets the results in the context of the role and writes the report and recommendations.
We not only summarise the results, but we will make an overall recommendation of fit with the role based on the psychometrics alone. This recommendation helps our clients understand the level of risk there is in employing a candidate as well as giving guidedance of the candidate's development needs.
We have worked with clients who have developed their own competencies our us an off the shelf competency framework. We also have our own competency library we can share with our clients .
We are not wedded to one system which produces one style of report, we customise and create our reports specific to our client's needs.
We are highly customer focused and ensure timely delivery of assessment administration and reporting.
