What do you like best about Thomas Assess?

Quality of the output and the amount of variety of feedback reports available. This enables me to select reports that are specific to that customer situation and answer the question of why we have assessed the individual. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thomas Assess?

The report section is not easy to use, and if you require multiple reports on a PPA profile, the system stops you from ticking them, and the user has to wait for the direction support field to disappear. We often send the PDf version to a client, and the system gives them a crazy reference rather than the delegate name, date, and report. It would also benefit from connecting from one report input to another e.g. if the client has done a PPA and a TEIQ why can't they reference each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Thomas Assess solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are helping our clients make more sophisticated recruitment decisions. We are helping our customers assess the development needs of the existing team and create successions plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Thomas Assess?

Thomas sells a number of instruments that are user friendly, inexpensive, easy to understand and work relevant.

You have control over the system and its many facets and can readily get support from well qualified professionals who work for the company.

Their range of assessments enable you to assess an individual from multiple viewpoints. Used in an informed way by experienced professionals, they add excellent insights into the performance and engagement of people at work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thomas Assess?

One has to be careful of abdicating people decision-making to tools!

A builder uses a spirit level to build a level wall, but it remains the builder who builds the wall. So it is with assessments. They are best used by skilled professionals who take the environment, industry, function and job title into consideration together with the education, experience, competencies and reputation of the candidate or employee.

Assessments colour a comprehensive understanding of an individual in the context of a team or a job. Used in that way, they add tremendous value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Thomas Assess solving and how is that benefiting you?

Recruitment: Putting the right people into the right jobs.

Career Development: Helping people to choose development options, career paths and promotions that make sense for their capabilities and behavioural preferences.

Team Building: By understanding what makes each member of a team tick via their behavioural preferences leads people to respect differences and value opposite preferences. Just this one issue can build the unity and purpose of a team. Certainly more than rah rah team building sessions.

Interpersonal Relationships: Conflict often arises from differences. One person behaves this way which irritates another person who behaves differently. By understanding why these differences arise, I find that the lights come on and people re-assess their antipathy to others that have no basis beyond behavioural preference.

What do you like best about Thomas Assess?

I like that you can get under the surface of a candidate in a way they might not know they perceive themselves so that you can explore this within the interview and assessment process to aid our hiring managers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thomas Assess?

Nothing, the system is very easy to use. I have had no reported issues from candidates so I can only assume they find it easy to use also. It would be great if reminder emails could automatically go out to candidates if they don't complete the assessment after a couple of days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Thomas Assess:

This assessment tool will enhance your recruitment process so that you can challenge and assess your candidates to a higher degree to ensure you bring on board to right candidate the first time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Thomas Assess solving and how is that benefiting you?

For very niche roles as well as senior roles, we can provide more differential between candidates and ensure that the working styles and behaviors are suitable for the position as well as what they display on their CV and in the interview. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Thomas Assess?

Such an insightful way for HR and managers to gain information about candidates and colleagues for hiring and promotions. The reports are very detailed and very relevant to anyone who is applying for a new role. There is a massive variety of different reports and if you have the training on how to read and impart them, it can be very useful for hiring managers.

When used consistently and correctly, Thomas International Psychometric reports can completely reinvigorate your company culture, because you get a quantitive insight into the inner workings of potential and current employees to help you determine their best method of working and who they would work well with, ensuring you can perpetuate the culture you want to refine and continue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thomas Assess?

Some of the reports can be difficult to understand due to their use of different terminology & similar wording meaning different things. For instance the different attributes looked at within the TEIQ reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Thomas Assess solving and how is that benefiting you?

Perpetuating our company culture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Thomas Assess?

We've been using Thomas profiles for years as part of our recruitment process and also for employee development, it allows for deeper, more enriched conversations about an individual's skill set, both in terms of past peformance, but also future performance and development, these are conversations that wouldn't happen without the Thomas profiles Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside to the Thomas reports is that without proper analysis and context, ts possible that some of the meaning can be misinterpreted and the development opportunity missed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Thomas Assess:

If you want to enhance recruitment and employee development this is a great tool to use, for so many reason Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a multitude of benefits to the Thomas reports in hiring, onboarding and employee development, in the hiring process, we can explore behaviours and traits that would otherwise be missed in a traditional recruitment process, and it provides a more complete picture of an individual, what value they can bring to an organisation and what they need from the business to be successful.

What do you like best about Thomas Assess?

The range of tests available and the feedback that can be obtained from the tests has been great; as a recruitment tool, they are incredibly useful and have really helped get more of an insight into individuals which then enhance the recruitment process and allow for greater probing in interviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thomas Assess?

I would say that the downside is around candidate experience; this could be improved. The layout of tests and the appearance of tests, more so before the tests have begun, could be improved. Traditionally tests such as these have always been very formal, and it would be good to break down the formality even more as this will help to improve the image of companies that use the tests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Thomas Assess solving and how is that benefiting you?

Candidate insights, being able to have a deeper understanding of candidates to allow probing of areas in interviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Thomas Assess solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have been developing ways to use the various products and services from Thomas & Co for about a year.

Irrespective of the use cases I have been researching, or the age and culture of the person being assessed, the reactions to the mainstay Personal Profile Analysis (PPA) have been consistently positive. The most usual responses were:

a) Visceral reactions when people being tested understood they were no right answers - that "the sum of my work experience" was not that relevant when considering your personal training / job options.

b) Disbelief that "a 8-10 minute questionnaire can reveal so much about me".

Thomas provides numerous benefits for recruiters and candidates alike, but working with Thomas has also involved ways to improve productivity and reduce training costs. My areas of interest have included opportunities like:

1. "40% of people hate their jobs" solutions

Thomas assessments help to align people's career / job choices with their strengths. When people have aligned strengths with job/career choices, then they are happier at work. And, when people are happier at work, the results include improved productivity and reduced staff turnover. Subject to peer review, my research suggest that a company/country could DOUBLE its productivity rates within 5 years by leveraging the information provided by Thomas & Co.

2. "67% of people leave the boss, not the company" solutions

Thomas can help managers understand the best way to deal with staff. Using PPAs to identify strengths of individual team members means managers can better align team skills and reduce the chance of losing team members and their organisational memory.

3. Improving the ability for businesses to adapt to change

Thomas makes life much easier when businesses need to pivot - the systems provide the information required to help managers realign jobs and individual strengths.

4. Reputation Management for Tertiary Providers / better learning choices

Depending on the course and the provider, 20%-40% of students can fail to complete year one. Thomas can reduce first year "Failure to Complete" rates by better aligning course choices with their individual strengths and passions. For example, a 25% First Year "Failure to Complete" rate could be reduced to 12.5%. I amazed how few Tertiary Providers use Thomas PPAs to identify student strengths as part of their pre-enrollment and marketing efforts. All a bit "Penny wise and pound foolish" in my humble opinion.

5. Remote Workers

Thomas tests help employers to identify the people best suited to remote work. Thomas Assessments can also minimise employee stress by suggesting the best ways to manage each individuals who are working from home.

With a team of 500 people, many who are trained psychologists, and nearly 40 years of experience, I think Thomas is the "GoTo" choice for any individual or organisation wanting to maximise their happiness and effectiveness. Summing things up, Thomas is not just about "buying a test". The Thomas suite of tools and reports are more akin to investing in a 21st Century business operating system.
