Hired the wrong person again?
We test so you can hire the right person.
Target group: Small and medium-sized enterprises
Until now, small (from 1 person) and medium-sized companies have rarely been able to benefit from scientific testing. At Goldblum, no company is too small. Whether the neighborhood bakery, the startup with 3 people or the medium-sized company with 500 employees. You don't need your own HR department to benefit from our experience.
Digital Test Center
Remote work is the new normal. The days when candidates came to the company for a test day are over. Our modern digital test center allows your candidates to take part in your application process anywhere in the world.
Scientifically tested
We work with universities and renowned academic publishers. That means we really test what we claim to test. Always ask about the quality criteria of a test (e.g. reliabilities, validities, scientific studies) that prove that you can trust the results.
600 tests - as individual as you
Since we have over 600 tests available, we adapt each assessment individually to the customer. For example, there are tests that test better for younger or older people. Or tests that measure very specific personality dimensions or specific leadership behavior. Our senior assessment managers are familiar with the tests and will work with you to create the “test battery” that is right for you.

Wir leben in einer globalisierten Welt, wo viele Menschen aus verschiedensten Ländern zusammen arbeiten. Wichtig ist, dass Bewerber:innen in ihrer Muttersprache getestet werden - sonst werden die Ergebnisse verzerrt (vor allem bei Leistungstests). Ihr Entwickler spricht Englisch, ihre Produktmanager:in Arabisch? Ihre neue Salesmitarbeiterin kommt ursprünglich aus Paris? Pas de problème - we have you covered 🙂
Questions that we can answer for you, for example
- Does the person fit into our company culture?
- Does the person fit the leader?
- Is the person conscientious, hardworking, tidy
- How smart is the person? CAN she handle the job
- How motivated is the person? Does she WANT to do the job?
- Can the person lead others?

Testing
Speed is the key to success
As soon as you give the starting signal, we will send the applicants an invitation email.
We track the candidates' completion and, if necessary, contact them via email, text message or telephone.
Applicants who are genuinely interested in the job often complete the tests quickly - so willingness to take the test is itself a test in itself.
report
Joint interview with applicant
Together with you, we present the results to the applicants and discuss possible “red flags” in the report that could potentially lead to the wrong appointment.

What is scientific testing?
Scientific testing
In order to hire the right people, psychology departments around the world have been researching supportive measures to increase the accuracy of the application process.
The solutions that small and medium-sized companies should include in their hiring process are part of the so-called psychological diagnostics Here, important variables of the human psyche that are important for integration into a company are researched and metricated.
Metricizing means making uncountable things countable. For example, the ability to be open to change or the ability to endure a lot of stress. These important variables of the human mind are tested using scientifically validated tests.
These tests are different from the normal tests you do on Facebook (“which city am I”, “which character of Sex and the City I am"). It takes years of university research and thousands of test subjects to develop these tests and ensure that they measure what they claim to measure.
Which tests help best?
Of these psychometric assessments, three classes of tests can enhance your hiring process with a combined Validity of up to 80 % support significantly!
Three classes of tests to help you scientifically improve the hiring process:
(1) Intelligence tests
(2) Personality tests
(3) Motivation and interest tests
Research has shown that intelligence tests combined with personality tests and motivation tests significantly help determine the potential suitability of your employees.
As research has shown, the validity of your hiring process can be increased up to 80 %. That's quite a jump from 5 % to 25 % validity if you only use in-person interviews.
What happens if you don't test scientifically?
Gallup has shown in a global survey that 85% of all employees are unhappy in their workplace. This means that 85% of employees do not fit the role, the team and the culture of the companies they work for. This is actually an unacceptable state of affairs. And it is a clear sign that there is something wrong with the way people are hired in companies.
If you think about it, the entire hiring process exists solely to test whether a person fits into your company.
If the person is a good fit, they will feel committed. If the fit is poor, the person will perform poorly, disrupt the well-being of your team, quit internally, be fired, or leave the company.
But with 85 % of employees not feeling engaged, it seems as if something is significantly missing from the application process.
