Bring capability evidence into the search early
Early capability evidence gives you time to develop the shortlist before making a final recommendation․ An assessment introduced only after a preferred candidate emerges can raise questions that reopen the client’s decision․

Our tools focus on leadership selection and assessment․ Explore our approach for their research basis․
Agree on the leadership the role needs
Executive Selection Brief turns the client’s information into a reasoned first draft for your discussion․ Share their ambitions, the role’s responsibilities and the questions still open․ Our structured, AI-assisted process proposes capability priorities and explains why they deserve emphasis․
You receive explicit interpretations, recommended requirements in priority order and example interview questions․ Use the brief to clarify differing expectations among decision-makers and agree on the priorities with the client․
Assess a broader group before choosing finalists
Executive Capability Assessment brings leadership science into the examination of individual executives․
After preparing the brief, give a broader group of selected candidates a preliminary capability assessment of about 15 minutes․ Use their initial profiles to identify strengths and questions worth examining as you develop the shortlist․
Finalists can then take a comprehensive assessment lasting more than an hour․ This examines their profiles against the agreed priorities in greater depth and concentrates the most extensive assessment on the strongest candidates․
Make your recommendation easier to explain
Compare candidates against the agreed priorities using interviews, references and assessment profiles․ Explain which strengths serve the mandate, what supports your judgment and where further examination would help․
Transparent reasoning helps you discuss differences between candidates and the trade-offs in your recommendation․ The client can follow how the role’s needs and the evidence support your advice, while retaining responsibility for the appointment․
Use AI with professional responsibility
We aim to use AI responsibly, with clear information about its role, professional oversight and attention to confidentiality and fairness․ In the brief, you can examine the proposed requirements and reasoning, question interpretations and apply your judgment․
We aim to follow the relevant AESC guidance on ethical AI use․ Where AI contributes to candidate assessment, SIOP’s AI assessment recommendations guide our development goals for validity, consistency, fairness and documented methods․
