Assessment company FindingPotential has launched a free psychometric questionnaire aimed at helping firms recruit only those candidates who will be highly engaged in their job.

Engage, the 10-minute online questionnaire, provides a feedback report on the importance to the individual of 14 aspects of work that underpin employee engagement and commitment.

Ron Eldridge, managing director of FindingPotential, says: “Different people want different things from their work. Some want reward, recognition and career progression, others want independence,

personal growth and work-life balance. This is an entirely free questionnaire which tells you what will make each candidate feel engaged and committed at work. If you appoint someone whose needs will be met by the reality of the role, they will be more likely to perform at  a higher level and less likely to leave.”
