Psychometric Assessments:

SSQ has pioneered the use of psychometric assessments as part of the recruitment process.  Used properly, psychometric assessments can significantly enhance decision making in many areas of recruitment and retention. Businesses have traditionally hired on technical ability and fired for behavioural reasons.
 
Included as part of our fee, SSQ can offer candidates applying to a role the opportunity to complete a detailed psychometric assessment. For our clients, we are able to provide a psychometric job profiling service that can help build a complete person specification for a vacancy prior to beginning the recruitment process.

Psychometric assessments assist candidates and clients to make informed recruitment decisions and we provide them as part of our service. Our model is recognised by the British Psychological Society and all of our UK team are trained and qualified assessors.

Contingent & Retained Search Assignments:

We are able to undertake both contingent and retained search assignments for senior management and executive level hires across business support areas for our law firm, chambers and industry clients.

Advertising Campaigns:

We have the expertise and a lengthy track record of running highly effective, eye-catching advertising campaigns, both for recruitment and for profile raising purposes. We have run campaigns on behalf of many leading international and domestic clients. Many of our clients wish to target the recruitment market using both offline and online media with the aim of proactively focusing on individuals with specific skill sets who may not otherwise be looking to move.
