Success in a public sector role often requires a combination of strong personality traits from problem solving and flexible thinking to leadership and interpersonal skills.
As public sector officials tend to be more heavily scrutinised by their customers (i.e. the public) making the wrong appointment to a public sector role can cause significant disruption to public bodies and their reputations.
Our team of business psychologists work with your department or agency to provide a comprehensive analysis of your public sector roles, the tasks they perform and how they interact with the rest of the business.
After getting to know your culture we utilise a range of innovative assessment solutions to help support and enhance your public sector recruitment process.
Clevry assessments can be fully customised to match both your organisational values and the roles being offered.

Public sector & government
What is psychometrics?
Psychometrics (aka psychometric tests or assessments) provide public sector organisations with a fairer and more objective way of measuring candidates skills and abilities such as cognitive ability, abstract, critical, verbal and numerical reasoning and behavioural style.
For a test to be considered ‘psychometric’, it must be standardised, reliable and valid. It also has to be consistent in its content, administration and scoring. This ensures the test is accurate and measures what it is supposed to, whilst omitting the influence of subjective biases.
