Leadership & executive assessment
Use expert judgement informed by data to identify the right leaders for you
We know you don’t want just any leaders. You want the right leaders. Getting that right can be the difference between business success or failure. Our goal is to help you know which leaders have what it takes to drive your organisation's success.
Our leadership assessments give you objective, in-depth, actionable insights so you can make informed decisions about who to hire and identify which employees have the highest potential for success.

Predict future performance
Our assessment methodology is where our expertise comes into its own. We start by determining the specific organisational goals your leaders need to deliver. Then we combine sophisticated market intelligence and benchmarking data to build a profile of quality candidates and create a framework for the assessment process.
We use a mix of tools including interviews, 360-degree feedback, psychometrics and simulations to produce a rich pool of data. We go beyond behaviour and personality to investigate motivations and purpose to see how well aligned a candidate is to your culture and how suited they are to the challenges they would face. We then apply behavioural science to the data to give us a prediction of their future performance so we can give you clear recommendations on their potential.
It’s a unique blend of art and science. And an approach that really works. The numbers speak for themselves:
- 95% of leaders placed are still in perm roles after one year
- 98% of our clients say our executive assessments deliver an ROI
- 96% of our clients would recommend us to others
Congruity is our distinctive personality instrument that is suitable for all stages in the employee lifecycle. It can help you pinpoint those that will thrive in your organisation and provides support for ongoing development.
Congruity identifies an individual's preferences, motivational drivers, and likely behaviours in the workplace, and outlines the implications in a business context. The questionnaire is strong on personality traits such as assertiveness, emotional intelligence, and resilience to stress, and can detect signs of burnout, obsessiveness, and narcissism.
The SAI ensures you select and retain the best sellers and reduces the risks associated with hiring new staff. It can cut the time and money spent on recruitment, and helps increase the performance of existing employees.
Reliable data on a candidate's motivations and approach to selling can be difficult to obtain from interview and work history alone, and that is where the SAI can help. It provides insight into hard to gather personality traits, yet requires no psychological expertise.
"NSCG has provided fantastic support and challenge working within the Sussex Health and Care system over the past year. There have been varied roles which have required their support from the development of our first system Race Equality Strategy and Executive Team development to the pilot of a 360 degree feedback process for our NHS Sussex Board members. Each and every time we have required their support we have received careful, considered thorough advice and challenge which has helped us to develop as an organisation and as a system."
