UNLOCK and Tripod tests – a comprehensive insight into Candidates’ potential
UNLOCK and Tripod tests are a great way to learn more about Candidates and their suitability for a particular role. A Candidate may be subject to the Unlock Personality test, which provides a better understanding of their personality traits, personality type and suitable team roles. The collected data helps to build cohesive and effective teams and promotes better communication at interpersonal and team level. The information also helps to improve task delegation, to unlock and make sense of individual potential and to harness individual strengths.
If necessary, we also use Tripod psychological tests to measure human qualities that do not change over time, such as a Candidate’s motivation, result orientation, level of teamwork, stress tolerance, and mental capacity. These tests are complementary tools, developed by scientists and valued worldwide, created to determine whether a Candidate is truly suitable for the a position.
The Unlock personality testing is included in the selection process and adds no additional cost to the Client. If the Client requires additional assessments, such as mental ability assessments or assessments for management positions, a separate service, the Tripod psychological test, is offered upon request.
For companies, we also offer the UNLOCK Employee Experience survey, which assesses the organization’s microclimate, employee job satisfaction, empowerment, loyalty to the organization, and indicators of employee diversity and inclusion. The test helps you to better understand your employees’ experience in your organization, to identify why engagement is declining or turnover is increasing. The information gathered from the survey can be used to improve recruitment and selection, for example by identifying the company’s strengths and communicating them more externally.
The tests that are used for professional recruitment reduce the risk of making the wrong choice, and ensure that the Candidate will be suitable for the position.

- We put the job ad on the most popular job search websites, professional and social networks.
- We will search and attract passive Candidates on professional and social networks. Passive Candidates are potential employees, professionals who are not currently actively looking for a job, but whose qualities and experience would be of great benefit to your company. We search for such Candidates using Google X-Ray search, Boolean operations, and the most relevant search keywords.
- We keep in touch with our Clients throughout the recruitment process and provide regular updates on the progress of the recruitment. We help to arrange meetings with the Candidate and advise on what to do to help the Candidate join the company as soon as possible.
- We provide recruitment reports that will allow you to assess potential Candidates’ interest in the job offer, your company's image among potential Candidates, their attitude towards the type of job offered, etc. If the selection process is delayed or if there is a low level of interest from Candidates, we will draw conclusions from the statistics and make recommendations on what you could change in the job offer.
- We talk to potential Candidates and conduct structured interviews with them. We assess Candidates’ competences, which include not only skills, but also attitudes, values – all the things that would enable the employee to do the job well for the Client. During the interview, we use hypothetical behavioural and situational questions to predict how the Candidate would behave in the work environment.
- Potential Candidates are assessed using standardised psychological tests and practical tasks.
- We provide detailed information about suitable Candidates in the most convenient format for the Client. Candidate profiles contain information on what the Candidate’s psychological tests have shown as well as their practical tasks. We also provide the opportunity to compare Candidates' results. They reveal both strengths and risks of the Candidates.
- With the Client's request and the Candidate's agreement, we collect the Candidate's references from former employers.
