Executive Interview
By combining the results of our proprietary interview methodology with Psybil results, we reduce the likelihood of a bad hire or poor talent decision to almost zero.
Four of our clients compared the cost of the assessments with the expense of a bad hire to determine the cut point of when to include an executive interview with Psybil results. They recommend using the full executive assessment for all candidates for hire or promotion who would earn ~$300K or more in annual compensation.
I went through a 4 ½-hour interview for my previous job. By the end I was so exhausted and embarrassed that I didn’t even want the job anymore. But this was different. It felt like a deep conversation with someone I could trust.
After I was hired, 1 received feedback and was amazed by what he knew about me, including the things I thought I had hidden.

What is a Psynet Group Executive Interview
Psynet Group interviews are delivered by Ph.D.-trained psychologists with experience in business and organizations. The interview incorporates four types of questions.
Career Review
Our interviewers uncover nuances within a candidate’s history. The primary focus is understanding how each stage facilitated their growth.
Behavioral
These questions review historical examples that indicate the successful application of key skills. Our interviewers are adept at determining the veracity of a candidate’s story as it relates to these skills.
Situational
We provide short case studies to assess how a candidate would solve the dilemmas. This approach allows us to understand thinking abilities, problem-solving approaches, and the values applied to decision-making.
Projective
The most unique and powerful technique our interviewers use is questions about the candidate’s relationships. These relationships serve as an anchor for understanding the candidate at a much deeper level.
Although the nature of any interview is stressful, Psynet Group consultants never intentionally ask questions that would humiliate candidates or create unnecessary stress. Our interviews are two and a half hours long combined with 90-120 minutes online, which is tiresome for many but does not create the psychological distress of a four to five-hour interview.
