01SME Solutions

For small businesses, scaled-down rigour.

SMEs need the same defensibility in selection as large employers — with a fraction of the time and budget. We package the rigour into right-sized engagements that fit how small businesses actually work.

Single-role selection — structured competency profile, candidate assessment using the right instrument for the role (we work with Psytech, Integrity International, Cognadev and others), competency-based interview support. Usually delivered in 5–10 working days.
Hiring policy starter pack — for SMEs growing through their first 10 employees. A short, practical document grounded in South African labour law and our HPCSA framework.
One-off consulting — for organisational design questions, role definition, performance issues, or team dynamics where you need an outside view.
Career conversations for existing staff — using our Pathways toolkit to support retention and internal mobility in growing SMEs.

Get started · two ways in

HR Compliance Diagnostic

The standalone self-serve check. You register first (your account and company take two minutes), then answer the questionnaire — so your compliance score and report live in your portal, not in a browser tab. The questionnaire and headline score are free; pay only to unlock the full gap report.

Full Workplace account

For assessment projects, selection work and team tools: register your company, then commission assessments, track deployments, and receive reports in your own portal. Started with the diagnostic? The same account upgrades — you never register twice.

Corporate Solutions

For corporates, tailored depth.

Corporate engagements draw on a proprietary competency framework developed in-house over more than a decade of practice, plus our association with Psychometric Studio for international assessment depth.

Competency framework development — bespoke frameworks for selection, performance, and development, built on our proprietary competency library developed in-house by CE App and NOW Matters over more than a decade of practice.
Selection assessment at scale — cohort-level assessment for graduate programmes, leadership pipelines, and high-volume hiring.
Assessment centre design — including simulation exercises, role plays, and scoring rubrics calibrated to your competency framework.
360-degree feedback and leadership development — with reports calibrated to your internal language.
Custom research — often in collaboration with Psychometric Studio — including validity studies, fairness analyses, and norm development.
Choice of assessment instruments — we are not tied to a single publisher. Our practice has access to appropriately classified, normed and scientifically validated instruments from Psytech, Integrity International, Cognadev and many more — matching the assessment solution to the role, objectives and brief rather than the other way round.

In association

Bench depth through Psychometric Studio.

Many of our corporate engagements run jointly with Psychometric Studio. The Netherlands-based team, led by Karina Olivier, brings international research perspective and additional assessment capacity for larger projects.

Practically, this means you get the responsiveness of a small South African practice with the bench of a much larger one when projects demand it.

Working in Benelux or DACH? Have assessment needs in Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, or Switzerland? Contact Psychometric Studio directly at info@psychometricstudio.com.

Right-sized rigour. Local responsiveness. International depth when you need it.
