Case Study: Beilby Consulting achieves a 97% placement success rate with OPRA Psychology Group

Industry Leading Recruitment Methodology

Beilby Consulting, one of Australia’s most recognised executive recruitment firms, needed a better way to assess a very high volume of candidates—more than 10,000 applications each year—for complex, senior roles. The challenge was to identify the best possible candidates and ensure placements would meet or exceed Beilby Consulting’s 2-year candidate performance guarantee. OPRA Psychology Group supported the process with an evidence-based selection methodology and psychometric assessment tools.

OPRA Psychology Group designed a multi-stage recruitment solution combining job analysis, structured behavioural phone screening, psychometric assessment using the Psytech Assessment System, customized work sample tests, and a facilitated executive assessment centre. The process also produced a candidate comparative matrix, onboarding plan, and 360-degree survey for performance tracking. The result was a robust, objective, and defensible recruitment service, with Beilby Consulting reporting a 97% success rate of placements performing beyond the 2-year guarantee over the past five years.
