Our approach provides unique insights across key test type areas:

Aptitude​

The WYWM aptitude test measures cognitive aptitude and assesses problem-solving skills as well as the ability to learn and apply new skills. WYWM uses a proprietary Computerised Adaptive Test (CAT), which was developed in consultation with the University of Sydney. The test is computer-based and adapts to the examinee's cognitive ability as they progress. Every testing experience is unique, and each test is tailored to the individual ensuring a positive experience despite cognitive ability.

WYWM​ Big 5​

WYWM uses the Big 5 (Five Factor Model) behavioural testing model to understand a candidate’s culture fit. The Big 5 assessment measures five key traits, each comprising six facets, which allows HR Managers and hiring managers to, at a snapshot, understand a candidate’s behaviours and likelihood of culturally assimilating into a role and a particular team.​

  • Team productivity and unproductive staff​​
  • Team role alignment​
  • Team Archetype by project stage​

WYWM DISC​

At WYWM, we have concluded that the best model that exists to help identify leadership potential amongst employees is the disc model. The extended DISC profile system is a model that has been developed to measure a person's favoured behavioural style within the workplace and is based on the world-renowned disc model. It is called the extended DISC because it took the original DISC model, which is a self-assessment that measures how an individual prefers to interact with others and extended it to have a tangible practical application to the workforce. ​​

Insights provided:

  • Leader alignment to team​
  • Scrum master match and alignment​​
  • Product owner match and alignment​
  • Future leadership potential​

WYWM Learning​ Styles​

WYWM test all candidates and internal staff for their learning styles to ensure that employees are appropriately engaged during their on boarding and within their new role by training them in the most effective delivery style that corresponds to their learning style. This decreases onboarding time by increasing the speed in which new skills are learned. Corporate knowledge is increased and better retained, again because information has been delivered in a tailored way that ensures information is being received and stored at a higher capacity.​

Insights provided:

  • Team leader and team member communication match​
  • Onboarding frictions  and insights​
  • LND Enhancements​

    Ex-RAN now PEGA legend

    After leaving the Royal Australian Navy, I found it difficult to adapt to anything new. I went from being a cook in a cafe to a janitor and was even considering working at a fast-food restaurant. None of my skills at the time felt transferable. That changed when I found WithYouWithMe and heard about their partnership with Pega.

    I couldn’t believe I’d get paid to learn and upskill in their low-code platform, and then be offered a job at the end of the training straight away, it almost seemed too good to be true.

    From RAF to Accenture as a PEGA junior developer
    Purple quote marks
    It is 100% daunting having to prepare your resume post service to give to employers. My resume was completely based on my experiences as a Royal Airforce (RAF) Specialist. My resume did list my skills, but I found employers wanted relevant work experience.

    I lacked the technical expertise I knew I needed to get a job in IT. I was uncertain about finding a job while finding time to and money to pay for training. I was anxious about the future. The WYWM aptitude test showed me my strengths. The test results indicated that a career in low coding would be a great match for my personal skillset. Through the support of WithYouWithMe, I transitioned from my position with the RAF and into a role as a PEGA junior developer for Accenture UK.

    From UK Met Police to Northrop Grumman as a full stack developer
    Fierce green quote marks
    I worked as a UK Met Police officer for almost 7 years. At the age of 24, I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome. This diagnosis was unexpected and changed my life. Astriid, a disability employment NFP, referred me to WithYouWithMe and assured me that WithYouWithMe would help me find a job that offered a healthy work/life balance.

    I signed up to look for work on WYWM's Potential platform and completed their psychometric and aptitude tests. They accurately predicted both my personality and my preferred learning methods. After completing my digital skills training, Northrop Grumman UK employed me as a Full Stack Developer (JavaScript).
