Raise the standard of every hire
Organisational success is easier when there’s a solid bench of exceptional professionals and specialists across your teams and divisions.
Hiring people into junior or middle management is amongst the most important decisions an organisation makes. Too often, those decisions still depend mainly on CVs, interviews and instinct.
Plexus brings better evidence into decision-making. It’s an integrated assessment approach that gives a deeper, more comprehensive and objective view of shortlisted candidates before you hire. It looks beyond experience and interview performance to assess the capabilities and behaviours that drive success at work:
- Critical reasoning and learning agility
- Judgement and adaptability
- Resilience and collaboration
- The ability to deliver results
- Team style and integrity (trust risk)
Plexus shows not only whether an applicant can do the job, but how they are likely to operate once they are in it. Candidate red flags that are invisible to interviewers become data after a Plexus assessment, so “yes” or “no” decisions can be made with clearer insight and hiring managers develop greater confidence in their decisions.
Plexus reports are generated mainly automatically, and an assessment specialist checks each one, editing it where necessary, before it goes out. Individual feedback for candidates is available as an optional extra, for an additional fee.
Raise the standard of hiring across your junior and middle-management pipeline with Plexus.

When the stakes are higher, go deeper
The more senior the appointment, the more difficult it is to predict success. Experience and a strong interview might tell you a lot, but they don’t reveal how someone thinks, the ambiguity they can handle, how they exercise judgement or how they’ll lead when the pressure is on.
Plexiscan Gold is designed for middle to senior management selection and development. It’s deeper than conventional psychometric assessment. To build an integrated picture of the individual, we combine:
- Validated psychometric evidence
- A detailed complexity interview
- Behavioural and skills assessments
- Professional interpretation by our assessment specialists
Every Plexiscan Gold assessment can include our Trust Risk Indicator, based on a well-documented and validated international measure of individual integrity. This adds another important dimension to the decision: understanding potential risks around trust and integrity before placing significant responsibility in someone’s hands.
Reduce the uncertainty behind a critical hire
The cost of appointing the wrong manager or leader extends way beyond recruitment fees. A poor appointment affects performance, engagement, retention, customer relationships, culture and the effectiveness of the team.
Plexiscan Gold reduces that risk by examining the candidate from different perspectives and integrating the findings. Instead of asking, “Is this an impressive candidate?”, Gold helps organisations answer more essential questions:
- How capable are they?
- At what level of complexity can they operate?
- How do they use their capability?
- How are they likely to lead and relate to others?
- Where are the risks?
- How well does all of this fit the role we need them to perform?
The organisation receives a detailed integrated report and feedback to support a better-informed selection or development decision. The candidate receives meaningful professional feedback that turns the assessment into a valuable experience in its own right.
When the stakes are high, explore Gold as a way to reduce the risk of senior hiring, succession and development decisions.

Top-tier leadership selection or development
At the highest levels, an appointment shapes far more than the performance of one role. Senior leaders influence strategy, culture, capability, succession and the performance of entire divisions or whole enterprises.
Plexiscan Platinum is Multiplex’s premium deep-dive leadership assessment, created for senior and executive selection, succession and development. It combines:
- An extensive competency, complexity and situational interview
- Cognitive assessment
- Personality and trust risk assessment
- An exploration of team and leadership styles
But Platinum is more than a collection of assessments. The value lies in bringing multiple sources of evidence together and detailing an integrated map of the individual and their potential impact on the role and the organisation.
We explore the leader’s cognitive capability and how they apply it. We examine the complexity at which they operate, and are likely to operate, how they approach unfamiliar and demanding situations, the competencies they bring to leadership and the patterns of personality and behaviour that may help or hinder them. We consider how they lead, how they contribute to a senior team and where potential trust risks need to be understood.
The result is a rich answer to the questions that matter when making a significant leadership decision:
- What is this person capable of?
- How do they think when the answer is not obvious?
- What level of complexity can they handle?
- How will they lead, and how will others experience them?
- Where will they add disproportionate value?
- Where could the risks lie?
Insight that informs action
Platinum does not end when the assessment report is delivered. The client receives comprehensive feedback and a detailed integration of the assessment findings to inform selection, succession or development decisions. Each candidate receives two individual feedback sessions:
- What is the data telling us? We help the person understand the assessment evidence, the patterns within it and what they reveal about their capability, leadership and potential.
- What can you do with the insight? We turn understanding into action, helping the individual identify where to focus, what to develop and how to use their strengths more deliberately.
Plexiscan Platinum provides a rigorous, multi-method and deeply integrated assessment of people being considered for your most important leadership roles. When the decision matters this much, Plexiscan Platinum maximises the opportunity and minimises the risk.
