Psychometric assessment since 1985
Stop Guessing. Start Hiring With Evidence.
Talent Select has spent 40 years turning "I have a good feeling about this candidate" into "here's exactly why this candidate will succeed." Internationally validated psychometric assessments, including the OPI, tell you who's actually the right fit, before you make the offer.
The problem
Every Resume Looks Good. Every Interview Feels Promising. And Yet.
Hiring managers everywhere have the same story: hours of interviews, a shortlist that looks perfect on paper, and a new hire who isn't the fit everyone thought they were. A bad hire doesn't just cost a salary, it costs momentum, team morale, and the months it takes to notice something's wrong.
The real cost
A Bad Hire Costs Far More Than the Salary You Agreed.
Put in the salary you are planning to offer and see the range a mis-hire typically works out at, before recruitment starts.
Commonly cited at 3-5x annual salary across recruiting industry research. The three estimates below update as you type.
Conservative estimate
€150,000
3x annual salary
Recruitment spend, notice periods, and the ramp-up time you never get back.
Typical estimate
€200,000
4x annual salary
Add management time, retraining, and the drag on the wider team.
Severe estimate
€250,000
5x annual salary
Client damage, missed targets, and knock-on turnover in senior or revenue-facing roles.
Lost Productivity
Months of ramp-up time before a mis-hire is recognised and addressed.
Team Disruption
Remaining team members absorb the gap, risking burnout and turnover of their own.
Recruitment Costs
Agency fees, advertising, and interview time, all paid again when the role is re-filled.
Client & Revenue Impact
Delayed work, missed targets, and strain on client relationships in the meantime.
This is the exact cost Talent Select's assessments are built to avoid. See how the OPI helps you get it right the first time.
The fix
We Replace the Gut Feeling With a Report You Can Defend.
Talent Select's assessments measure the traits that actually predict on-the-job performance, personality, working style, and cognitive ability, and score every candidate against what success in your role actually looks like. No more picking the best interviewer. Start picking the best hire.
