Candidate Assessment

Candidate Assessment recruitment services

We recognise that search and selection for Board and CEO positions requires a different approach to other forms of recruitment. At this level it’s about bringing together companies and individuals that share similar values and aspirations, and it’s about offering candidates the right challenge.

This may include a variety of techniques, as assessment is always tailored to the requirements of a specific role and organisation. We will work closely with you to agree the most appropriate approach, and can facilitate any of the following services:

  • Ability Tests
  • Assessment Centre Exercises
  • Media Assessment
  • Personality Assessment

Our candidate assessments are available as an integral part of the executive search process or as a standalone service that enables organisations to accurately gauge the capabilities and competencies of their existing executives.

Leadership development


To maintain a competitive edge it is vital that you have the best possible leadership team in place. Your leaders will carve the future path of your organisation, so it is important that they have the opportunity to develop their skills and competencies and grow in their roles. To enable these individuals to work towards reaching their full leadership potential, Stone Executive provides highly interactive leadership development programmes.

At the core of our approach lies the belief that leadership is based on values and associated behaviours and becomes apparent in interaction with others. Our expert consultant team can work with you to create a bespoke leadership programme focused on your organisation and the leadership attributes that are central to its success.
