Saville Consulting Wave® – Highest Validity per 15 minutes of test-time!
 The Saville Consulting Wave was developed by the originator of the OPQ and co-founder of SHL, Professor Peter Saville as an alternative to the static assessments available in the market. Wave assesses candidate’s motives and talents within a validation-centric framework. It was validated within 100 separate businesses.
The tool uses both normative and dynamic ipsative questions and has been shown to have greater validity in predicting performance and leadership than any tool it has been compared to in research. Furthermore, the shorter version of Wave, the Focus Questionnaire has more validity per 15 minutes of test-taking time than any comparison questionnaire.
Profile jobs, run 360 performance appraisal, assess personality type for team-building, assess entrepreneurial potential and provide extensive development advice all within one framework
The performance culture framework which underlies the Saville Consulting Wave allows the tool to be used extensively for different HR applications from recruitment/selection through to performance appraisal and development.

Singapore and Hong Kong based award-winning PsyAsia International offers 360 Performance Appraisal via the Saville Consulting Performance Culture Framework. The company has recently set-up a new site dedicated to easy understanding of the 360 appraisal process. It’s easy to set up and the cost is very reasonable. Optional services such as feedback from a psychologist consultant or team building and development services can be added to the package. The online performance appraisal system can be used by any organisation worldwide.
The Saville Consulting Wave is based upon a validation-centric scientific framework known as the Performance and Culture Framework. As part of this framework, Saville Consulting offers the Wave Performance 360 (multi-rater) online assessment of performance at work. Wave Performance 360 online assessment enables a range of relevant individuals to rate a colleague’s performance at work. How an individual perceives themselves and how this compares to other people’s perceptions of them is a powerful feedback tool. 360 assessment enhances self-awareness and provides a great platform for personal development.
Wave 360 provides a unique report where the dual reporting lets the individual being assessed understand on one profile exactly how they were rated and how this benchmarks externally.
The report combines quantitative rating scales with qualitative comment. All raters have the option of contributing narrative text on areas they think the individual does well, could do less of and could improve on. As a further option, Saville Consulting provides a very detailed development report for the individual based on all ratings.
This powerful 360 appraisal can be used on it’s own or in conjunction with Saville Consulting Wave® Styles. When used in combination it can help individuals understand the gaps between their performance and potential as a platform for utilising unused potential and realising critical areas of potential.

Kevin Daniels and Jan De Jonge recently explored the notion of `match’ in occupation settings. In the context of job design, this is congruence or correspondence between two or more job characteristics (e.g. cognitive demands and cognitive control). This congruence is thought to benefit health, well-being, and performance. The origins of the match concept lie in buffering models of work stress, where resources such as workplace social support and job control are thought to attenuate deleterious effects of adverse job characteristics like excessive job demands. In their paper, they outline the historical developments in work stress research that has led to notions of match, contrast match with the related concept of person-environment fit, explore current conceptualizations and operationalizations of match, and outline how the concept of match can be developed.

 Click the image to register! This 90-minute webinar will cover some basic principles in recruitment and selection. Despite being basic, the principles are essential in ensuring integrity in delivery of service to the client of a recruitment consultant. In our work in Asia we come across many recruitment consultants each week. We value them as clients and recognise from our interactions that much of what they are doing goes against best practice and wish to help!
This webinar aims to address some of these issues and will cover topics such as:
- What information do I need from my client?
- What questions should I be asking my client when I meet with them?
- How do I do a brief job analysis?
- What is a person specification? Why is it important?
- How do I produce a person specification if my client doesn’t give me one?
- How do I choose which psychometric test(s) to use?
- Basic Behavioural Interviewing skills
- What other assessments could I use?
- Is there an easy way to collate all of my data on multiple candidates and rank order it for presentation to my client?
The webinar is aimed primarily at recruitment consultants, however the material covered will be useful and applicable to anybody involved in employee recruitment/selection.
There is a small US$10 fee for the webinar to be paid by credit card at paypal.com* and you will receive details after registration. All paid registrants will receive a one-week access to a recorded version of the webinar at our online learning center. This will help you recap information and will be useful if you are unexpectedly unable to attend the live session.
*Fee waived for PsyAsia clients who have made any purchase in the past 3 months.
The session will be conducted by a fully registered organisational psychologist with years of experience in recruitment, selection and development for multi-nationals as well as governments in Asia. There will be ample time for questions and answers – if more time is needed, an additional session can easily be arranged without further fee.

Over the years, PsyAsia International has placed tremendous effort into putting together a knowledgebase at our website as well as a knowledge blog at assessmentcentral.com. We continue to add to and develop these further. We’re now offering you the opportunity to ask questions pertinent to you and for our psychologists to answer them at our blog. Your question should be related to human resource management or business psychology. It can be under the categories listed at this blog or you may request a new category. We may also open some questions/answers up for discussion and general comment if we feel relevant. Please keep in mind that your question should be able to be answered within a blog submission (i.e., don’t ask anything that might require a very complex or long response!!). Our psychologists will aim to respond to one question per day and the target time for the response is 10-15 minutes. Answers will be posted at assessmentcentral.com and the PsyAsia knowledgebase.
Please feel free to submit your questions now by emailing our ONLINE LEARNING SECTION. You must complete all details in the form accurately. We will not answer questions from those who enter FREE email addresses such as yahoo/google/msn etc or where a company name is not provided. However, we will not mention your personal details in the response in order to protect your privacy. Thank you for your participation!

In response to continuous requests of quick advice from our clients, PsyAsia International proudly presents the expressCONSULT™ service. Very often our clients need professional advice from our psychologists which is brief enough to be delivered in one email or a telephone call. As experts in the area, we are always very keen to help but often we find ourselves very busy and responding to 20 or more requests for quick support each day means cutting into work for our full-paying clients or leaving work very late!! To overcome this dilemma, PsyAsia has invented the expressCONSULT™ solution of “Purchasing time from our Psychologists”. With this service, you can purchase our psychologists’ time for their professional advice without the need for a formal consultancy service! It is quick and easy and your problem can be solved in as fast as 15 minutes!
What do we offer?
With expressCONSULT™, we offer a wide range of advisory and consultancy services that are not longer than 2 working hours (for projects that are estimated to take longer than 2 hours to complete, you would need to opt for our regular consulting services).
Examples of expressCONSULT™ services include, but are not limited to: checking interview questions, assessment centre exercises and training materials; advice on selection procedures, training design and performance appraisal; and any other advisory services that call on our expertise.
