Our registered psychologist, Shanel Winning, is very experienced at carrying out Personality and Values Profiling – a very useful tool for recruitment.

The Personality Profiling has seven sections and covers such things as confidence, ability to work under pressure, desire for leadership, initiative, relationship management, organisational abilities, vision, imagination and creativity and staying current with research findings.

The Values Profiling consists of ten sections and covers things such as: visibility, a desire to succeed and wanting to make a difference, a concern for the welfare of others, a desire for social interaction, a belief system, security, planning in financial matters, dedication to quality and a desire to know how things work.

If a school asks Shanel to do the profiling for them during the appointment process – and this is usually after the short list has been decided – she will make contact with the applicants and work with them on-line. She then interviews them by phone and completes her report, which goes to the designated person helping the Board with the process – be it consultant or trustee. An example is in this section of our website – “Sam Sample”. The sample is a real person whose identity has been disguised.

While each applicant has an individual profile report Shanel also contrasts across all shortlisted applicants usually in an oral report to the Board.

Applicants have unanimously told the director that they enjoyed the process and working with Shanel. They usually report that they know themselves much better as a result of the process.

The cost of this service is $750 + GST per applicant, payable direct to Shanel on invoice.
