Do psychometric analyses add value to the hiring process?
It depends.
Valid and reliable data might help explain personalities, communication styles, and try to match candidates to companies based on competencies. But so should a good interview process. If this is why a search firm is pitching their psychometrics, then it's probably unnecessary.
Whether candidates make sound decisions, learn proactively and adapt to change effectively—these essential skills are nearly impossible to decipher through interviews or references (who are always biased in favor of the candidate). A useful psychometric analysis does more than verify or challenge what's already being learned during an interview. Instead, it measures what you won't learn otherwise.
Our proprietary behavioral analyses help you predict how a candidate is likely to perform 2-3 years from now.
Can this candidate leverage his own strengths to propel your organization forward?
That's the question you need answered before the hire.
"I equate the benefits of working with Roscoe Martin to what I've seen in moving from larger companies to a smaller company culture. There is nothing that rivals a more entrepreneurial setting. We've truly enjoyed this aspect of working with Beau, because it's the same responsiveness and hands-on approach we respect and expect in our own business."
Doug York
Co-Founder and Managing Director, Sequel Energy
"I have worked with Beau in multiple company settings, and what stands out to me is his ability to help us make high quality hires, for both managerial and senior technical roles, on a consistent basis. He knows the energy industry well and where to find the best people. He's reliable and responsive, and that's valuable."

E&P Executive and Board Member
"We have used Beau Morgan and his firm recently to fill two very important leadership positions in our company and are extremely pleased with the results. Beau gets to know your company well before introducing you to candidates as he respects your time and wants to present you with not only qualified candidates but ones that would be a good fit with your corporate culture. Beau has also been a great resource to get a better feel on trending compensation plans. Beau has become our "go to" person when we have an important staffing need. We also appreciate Beau's thoughtful style, he puts his clients first and really listens in order to understand their needs."
Mike and Ryan O'Shaughnessy
Chairman and President, Lario Oil & Gas
"I often tell our team at FourPoint, culture eats strategy for breakfast, it's that important. That's why we've set the bar so high when hiring any new team members. It's a demanding process but it's the backbone of the strong team we've assembled. Roscoe Martin understands what we expect. It's why we've continued to use Beau for our hiring needs throughout our organization—he knows the right cultural fit is absolutely critical."
George Solich
President & CEO, Fourpoint Energy
"With Beau potential obstacles only seem to make him more determined. And even though he's in California, this has zero effect on his productivity. We entrust him to recruit for us at the highest levels, because he exceeds our expectations every time. He's a human capital partner in every sense of the word."
Eric McCrady
Chief Executive Officer, Sundance Energy (SNDE)
"I've recommended Roscoe Martin several times to other executives because I like the way Beau handles the entire hiring process — as well as the results he's produced for us. It's not a painful process with Beau. And he has always felt responsible for a good outcome."
