Profiling & Assessment

At Steering Point, our core business is cultivating and sourcing top-tier talent to match our client’s unique needs. We believe that traditional assessments only scratch the surface of what makes a great leader.

Our innovative executive search team uses an assessment model that goes beyond the surface level to highlight underlying leadership qualities that are not easily quantified.

Our ultimate goal is the same as our clients: to increase overall performance and retention through recruitment and personnel choices that align with their values and objectives. We recognise that ‘fit’ can mean many things and that coherence factors are just as important as talent when it comes to driving success. That’s why we focus on three crucial areas: performance and current skillsets, forecasting and future potential, and tactical alignment.

By blending these streams through deliberation and mapping out how candidates will transition into a specific role and professional environment, we provide our clients with a comprehensive solution that ensures the right fit for their needs. At Steering Point, we’re committed to using innovative assessment models and a people-centric approach to deliver top-tier talent that will drive success and growth for our clients.

Our Focus Areas

Performance

Our assessment model and search process are designed to identify candidates who have the experience, skills, and expertise needed to succeed from day one. We recognise that performance is a critical component of success, and we’re dedicated to finding candidates who can deliver results and drive growth for our clients. At Steering Point, our focus on performance ensures that every candidate we place is prepared to take on the challenges of the modern business landscape and succeed at the highest levels.

Future-focussed leadership

At Steering Point, we recognise that sustained success requires a long-term view and a commitment to identifying leaders who can meet the future requirements of their roles. We understand that today’s decisions and actions are critical to achieving long-term success, and nothing underscores this point more than recruitment.

We understand that success in executive search and leadership advisory requires a thorough understanding of each client’s unique needs and a comprehensive assessment of potential candidates.
