There are three assessments candidates take to complete their AssessFirst profile. An overview of them and the information they provide is below: 

Personality - "SHAPE"

Identify the behaviours that have a strong probability of presenting in both normal and stressful situations. Develop confidence in whether your candidates’ natural behaviours will enable them to thrive in the desired role.

Motivation - "DRIVE"

Define your candidate's capacity to adapt to:

a) Your company culture
b) The relevant team and manager
c) The core tasks of the role

Cognitive agility - "BRAIN""

Accurately calculate reasoning capacity and learning style. Anticipate how a person will approach specific tasks and challenges before they happen.

96% of candidates complete their assessments of SHAPE, DRIVE AND BRAIN. They take an average of 10 minutes each to complete.
