Psychometric Assessments

Psychometric assessments measure personality traits, abilities, attitudes, motivations, interests, among others. When used in the corporate setting, they provide an objective evaluation of candidates that goes well beyond the CV and interview. The subjective nature of CVs and interviews may lead to costly errors in judgment by hiring the wrong candidate.

Specializing in psychometric assessments, evaluation, and management consulting, we are designed to mitigate risk. Our assessments are valid and reliable indicators of performance, saving you time and money in finding the right fit.

Our assessments are tailored to suit the needs of the client, ensuring that you find the right fit for the role. By ensuring the right fit, we are able to assist you in creating a more efficient and productive organization.

By making use of psychometric assessments, we allow for fair discrimination based on job requirements and suitability of the role. This allows you to save time and costs during the selection process due to the predictive nature of these assessments. Lastly, our testing enables integration of
talent processes across the employee life cycle. We focus on all levels of assessment, from Entry-Level assessments to Senior and Executive Level
assessments.

Allow us to further optimize the recruitment process for you and ensure you hire the right fit!

Mie

The process of conducting background checks has always been especially important for employers in industries that require high security or a position of trust, such as in a school, hospital, financial institution, airport, and national services or state-owned entities, for example. However, as business and operating markets become increasingly globalised, hiring and procurement markets have become more globally competitive, and the need to have trusted employees and suppliers is greater than ever. As a result, in recent years the practice of background screening has experienced steady growth across industries. We believe this can be attributed to increasing awareness by public and private sector as to the potential reputational and financial risks of making an unsuitable staff or supplier appointment – and the desire to mitigate and manage this potential risk as far as possible.

MIE offers a wide variety of background checks that can be conducted on individuals both in Southern Africa and internationally. MIE also offers several background checks that can be conducted against suppliers/vendors.
