BZ PSYCHOMETRIC ASSESSMENT PACKAGES
FLAGSHIP PACKAGE
Selection for Command and Senior positions.
Our most comprehensive assessment, Flagship, reflects the importance of selecting the highest calibre of individual.

• Relating to Others
• Influence and Collaboration
• Thinking Style
• Structure and Flexibility
• Management of Pressure
MAINMAST PACKAGE
Selection for Head of Department (HOD) or Senior positions on smaller yachts.
The Mainmast package has been designed to reflect the importance of these roles and the advanced inter-personal skills required to be successful.
It analyses how Candidates perform across 5 fundamental qualities:
• Leadership Style
• Interaction with Others
• Decision Making
• Initiative
• Personal Adjustment to Pressure
HEADMARK PACKAGE
Selection for Entry and Junior level positions.
In navigation, a Headmark ensures a vessel is on track and doesn't enter dangerous water.
The Headmark package has been designed for the same reason, keeping your selection on track and significantly minimising the danger of recruiting unsuitable crew.
It assesses teamwork attributes, including the ability to deal with the pressure and stress of life onboard. It also identifies any potential confidentiality concerns.
Don’t RISK making an important recruitment decision without having all the pieces of the jigsaw.
Why Are Psychometrics Required?
Crew are not commonly ‘let go' from a yacht, due to their poor technical skills or ability, but rather because of unsuitable behaviour or their character doesn’t fit the culture onboard.
An erroneous selection decision is a considerable RISK to a yacht’s operations, particularly when recruiting for senior positions.
Leaders instinctively gather all the information before making an important decision. Yet, when it comes to the yacht recruitment process, this rationale is often overlooked.
