Executive assessment

Organisations searching for executive talent require confidence in their final shortlist. Six Degrees Executive Search employ a comprehensive approach to assess executives, using bespoke tools to ensure a robust decision-making process that mitigates the risk associated with hiring executive talent.

ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

Six Degrees combines best-practice client service, in-depth industry insight and years of experience developing technical expertise and rigorous search methodologies.

Our executive recruitment services are underpinned by our proprietary Six Degrees of Excellence (6Dx) leadership capability, benchmarking and assessment tool.

6Dx is a unique functional overlay that provides the foundation for candidate selection. The 6Dx framework is used to identify, assess and benchmark exceptional talent against critical capabilities.

6Dx EXECUTIVE ASSESSMENT

The 6Dx process combines scientific rigour and experience with objectivity to ensure the best outcome. Designed by third-party organisational psychologists, 6Dx is based on:

A thorough situational needs analysis to uncover the unique context influencing your organisation and tailor the critical capabilities required.
An understanding of the technical expertise and functional specialisation required in the executive role.
A review of the transition risk – considering the degree of ease with which a candidate could transition into a new organisation and identifying the capabilities required to do so.

ASSESSMENT OUTCOMES

A tailored objectively ranked shortlist
Rigorous benchmarking against local (Australian and New Zealand) executive talent markets
The removal of bias from shortlist selection
The clarity to distinguish good from excellent performance
Confidence in the final shortlist
