Our science partner

Why we partner with the McQuaig Institute

People tend to hire on skills and fire on behaviors, so we measure both before you ever sit down for an interview.

01

Behavior is what makes a hire stick

When a hire does not work out, it is rarely about skills or experience. It is usually because the behavior was not a good fit for your organization.

02

We assess the role and the candidate

We assess your job opening and measure each candidate's behaviors using psychometric profiling, then compare them against specific data points so your team aligns on what a great hire looks like.

03

The gold standard in psychometrics

McQuaig was established over 50 years ago and has become the gold standard in psychometric testing for aligning candidates with organizational fit. Request a free job survey from us to reveal the culture and personality your next hire needs.
