Managerial Recruitment Assessments: Hiring Managers Who Deliver Results

Managers are the backbone of organizational performance. They are responsible for translating strategy into execution, motivating teams, and ensuring results are delivered on time and to standard. Yet hiring the wrong manager can have ripple effects on employee engagement, productivity, and culture.

Fitt’s Managerial Recruitment Assessments provide organizations with the confidence to select managers who not only meet today’s operational needs but also show the potential to grow into future leadership roles.

Why Recruitment at the Managerial Level Matters

Unlike individual contributors, managers drive results through people. The right assessment therefore must evaluate a balance of:

Operational excellence – managing resources, processes, and performance.
People leadership – coaching, motivating, and resolving conflict.
Forward-looking skills – adaptability, decision-making under pressure, and openness to change.
Cultural fit – ensuring alignment with organizational values and ways of working.

What the Assessment Measures

Managerial Recruitment Assessments measure the full set of 28 Fitt competencies, including:

Core Competencies: Collaboration, communication, planning and organizing.
Enabling Competencies: Delivering results, managing performance, decision-making, working under pressure.
Leadership Competencies: Developing people, empowering others, and commercial acumen.
Forward-Looking Competencies: Leading change, managing ambiguity, and digital readiness.

Recruitment versions focus on predictive validity - testing how effectively candidates will perform in real-world managerial contexts. Assessments use:

Simulations and case studies that replicate managerial challenges.
Work style and team role measures to predict leadership dynamics.
Video-based and cognitive exercises to test judgment and problem-solving.
