Our Services - People Central Ltd.

Smarter people decisions grounded in evidence and applied with judgement

Psychometric assessment that supports fair, defensible and quality people decisions at every level

People Central provides psychometric assessment and advisory services for organisations making people decisions across all levels of the workforce — from general and operational roles through to professional, specialist, leadership and executive appointments.

Smart people decisions, grounded in evidence and applied with judgement.

While not all roles carry the same level of organisational risk, we apply the same professional standards of validity, fairness and ethical use across all assessments. What changes is the depth, focus, and interpretation, scaled appropriately to the role and decision context.

Our role is to strengthen decision confidence and reduce risk — whether the decision is routine and high-volume, or complex and high-stakes.

Across almost all of our services, we provide clear executive summaries, role-specific job-fit analysis and structured decision support to help organisations make confident, defensible people decisions.

General & Operational Workforce Assessment

General and operational workforce roles may not be strategically high stakes individually, but they are often high-volume and collectively critical to service delivery, safety, reliability and organisational culture. Poor decisions at this level can have a cumulative and costly impact.

We support fair, consistent, and practical hiring decisions for entry-level, frontline, operational and support roles using role-appropriate psychometric tools and clear, practical interpretation. Our approach is designed to be efficient, scalable and respectful of candidate experience, while maintaining defensible decision standards.

If you would like to explore how scalable psychometric assessment can support workforce hiring decisions in your organisation, we welcome a confidential discussion.

Selection Assessment – Professional, Specialist & Supervisory Roles

Professional, technical, specialist and supervisory roles typically carry greater responsibility, judgement requirements and performance impact. Selection decisions at this level benefit from assessment approaches that go beyond basic suitability and provide structured, objective insight.

We use role-relevant psychometric tools interpreted in the context of job requirements and organisational expectations, providing clear guidance that hiring managers can apply immediately and confidently.

If you would like to explore assessment options for professional or specialist roles, we would be pleased to discuss your requirements.

Executive & Leadership Assessment

Executive and senior leadership appointments involve high levels of complexity, visibility and organisational risk. These decisions require careful interpretation, contextual understanding, and independent professional judgement.

Our executive and leadership assessments integrate validated psychometric tools with leadership demands, organisational context, and role complexity. The focus is on understanding leadership capability, behavioural risk, and development implications that matter at board and executive level.

If you are facing a high-stakes leadership decision, we welcome a confidential conversation.

Development & Coaching Assessments

Psychometric assessment can be a powerful foundation for leadership and professional development when it is used appropriately and ethically. Development-focused assessments are designed to support insight, growth, and reflection — not selection decisions.

We provide strength-based, development-appropriate assessment and feedback that supports coaching, leadership development, and professional growth, with a strong emphasis on participant experience.

If you would like to explore development and coaching assessment options, we would be happy to discuss your objectives.

Succession & Talent Risk Assessment

Succession planning and talent risk decisions require transparency, consistency and evidence-based insight. Without this, organisations can be exposed to unnecessary continuity and capability risk.

We assess readiness, potential, and development needs using structured, defensible frameworks that support informed succession and talent decisions over time.

If you would like to discuss succession or talent risk planning in your organisation, we welcome a confidential discussion.

Selection Process Review & Risk Check (Optional)

Even high-quality psychometric tools can be undermined by poorly designed or inconsistently applied selection processes. This optional review provides a high-level assessment of an organisation’s current selection approach to identify strengths, weaknesses and obvious gaps that may increase decision risk.

The review focuses on role clarity, interview structure, use and weighting of assessment tools and the integration of psychometrics with other decision inputs. Its purpose is to ensure that psychometric assessment — where used — adds genuine value and is applied fairly and defensibly.

This review is often used as a practical starting point for organisations seeking to strengthen selection quality or review existing practices. If you would like to request a selection process review, we would be pleased to discuss scope and approach.
