Talent Management
At Aktum Group, we draw upon our consulting, research, and data analytics expertise to provide a wide range of insights during the executive selection process. Learn more about how our talent management products can help you understand the needs of your organization and develop effective leadership.
Aktum Insights™ for Selection
Aktum Insights™ was developed to provide a comprehensive overview of an organization’s work environment. By measuring a wide range of constructs across three main pillars (Manager Relations, Employee Experience & Inclusivity), the full-length Aktum Insights survey reveals valuable performance metrics for organizations of any size, in any field.
Based on the same platform, we’ve also designed Aktum Insights SE™, a short-form version of our flagship survey. Aktum Insights SE narrows in on metrics that are crucial to the success of executive candidates, identifying specific areas that leadership can focus on to improve organizational effectiveness as a whole.
Aktum Insights SE™ for Onboarding CEOs
Aktum Insights SE™ provides data on the current state of the workplace environment. With this data, CEOs will be able to understand how their direct reports feel immediately out of the selection pipeline. Additionally, management will be able to custom-tailer each transition period according to the specific challenges that CEOs will need to face.
Aktum Insights SE™ For 360 Targeting
With a better understanding of how employee well-being is distributed across different demographic groups and business areas, management can target 360s more effectively and efficiently. Participants can be sourced more representatively from groups where issues are more prevalent, and the 360 questions themselves can be custom-tailored to understand pre-identified problems at a deeper level.
Aktum’s Approach to Candidate Evaluation
In order to construct a thorough, comparable, and comprehensive evaluation of executive candidates, we use three methods to gauge candidates across a wide gamut of success indicators.
Structured Interview Questions
In addition to extensive knowledge of industry-standard talent management interview practices, our consultants can develop custom interview questions and criteria for evaluating responses. By targeting specific leadership traits and strategic thinking skills for your industry, these custom questions will reveal deeper insights about the success potential of executive candidates than standard questions.
Validated Assessments
Our consultants have extensive experience developing, validating, and administering personality assessments at all levels within an organization. In addition to a wide range of industry-standard assessments, we also design state-of-the-art instruments in-house for your organization’s specific needs.
Situational Judgement Tests (SJTs)
Both within and outside of our specialty areas (finance, healthcare, and biotech), our consultants will work with you to develop situational judgement tests to assess the problem-solving skills, internal values, and decision-making performance of executive candidates. Our expertise allows us to understand and encapsulate the specific technical requirements of your industry into effective and fair business challenges.
