Alison Walker, Founder at Walker Fairway, Andy Grant, Director at Blue Marble Recruitment, and Dave Crumby, Founder at 360 Talent Solutions tackle the biggest challenges in talent recruitment, development, and retention. Dave covers the biggest challenges the private sector currently face in recruitment, whilst Alison shares how to develop and retain the best talent for the public sector.
Dave Crumby has spent the last 10 years supporting life science companies to grow their teams in the UK and across Europe. Dave has worked with companies ranging from Start-Ups right through to Fortune 500 and has supported some household names you might be familiar with such as Moderna and Johnson & Johnson.

To find out what his clients biggest challenges currently are, Dave conducted a series of surveys on LinkedIn. The 2 highlighted below were by far chosen as the biggest challenge:
When speaking with hiring managers and HR professionals, they share their frustrations as their current recruitment processes are taking on average 3 months … with some roles being open for up to 6 months:
It’s important to note that it is not just the life science industry that are highlighting these 2 challenges. The same challenges are being echoed across all industries in the UK.
Watch the webinar to learn how Dave analyses two case studies to illustrate how measuring more data earlier in your recruitment processes can save you time and money. To make better hiring decisions in 2023 and beyond, Dave recommends the use of assessment tools such as behavioral assessments as they have higher predictors of future performance compared to traditional screening methods.
Alison Walker brings 30 years of public sector experience, supporting the NHS, central government, and local government with change management, organisational development, and organisational digitisation.
Alison addresses the major skills shortages within the public sector and how the increasing workloads and lack of learning opportunities are pushing individuals and teams to their limits. With the changing demands of leadership, there is a growing need to better measure and assess the soft skills of future roles.
Alison discusses how incorporating assessment tools such as behavioural assessments can help to build stronger teams and better leaders, whilst providing the framework for a common language to be used by key stakeholders.
People have drives, which create needs and your behaviour is in response to these needs. So, if you only see behaviour, you are guessing someone’s drives needs. If you measure drives, you can better predict someone’s needs and behaviour.
The PI Behavioral Assessment™ (PI BA) is a science-based framework that maps personality in four motivational drives. The drives and their relation to each other constitute a person’s behavioural pattern and ultimately help you understand the underlying needs and the associated behaviour.
The PI Behavioral Assessment™ (PI BA) is more than a recruitment tool. It will help you to identify candidates who will be motivated and thrive in a given role.
To make the best hire, you need to go beyond the traditional screening metrics and measure more earlier such as:
Candidate assessment tools such as DISC, Hogan, and Predictive Index provide a panoramic insight by measuring what is beneath the surface.
When it comes to predicting future performance, technology is key:
For me, hiring without the use of psychometric assessments is like trying to put together a jigsaw puzzle with pieces missing … and no picture on the box. It’s not fun, it takes longer, and when you are almost finished, you realise you have pieces missing.
Take the assessment today and start measuring more to improve your recruitment.

The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data protection law that has significant implications for companies worldwide. In In this article, we will explore the ethics and quality behind using assessment tools, as well as the measures Predictive Index takes to comply with GDPR regulations.
As organizations become more competitive, it has become increasingly important for them to hire employees with the right skills and fit for the job. To achieve this, many employers are using psychometric assessments to evaluate potential employees.
