The Hut Group (THG) adopts MAT80 assessment and development tool
Following an extensive market review, The Hut Group (THG) has chosen the
MAT80to be part of their graduate selection process. In addition the tool will
be used within their extensive management and leadership development
programme.
Talent Manager, THG:
“We adopted the MAT80 tool following a detailed pilot study last year to assist
our on-going selection and development programmes; we receive
2,000 graduate applications per annum and have 1,000 managers within our
L&D programme. The MAT80reports are excellent and flexibility within the
system allows us to tailor it to our needs- from initial selection through to
leadership development.”
The MAT80 makes predicting future business success a simple task for recruiters,
HR Directors, business owners or academic institutions. With each item being
developed and tested over the last 9+ years the MAT80 offers a fully validated
and predictive tool for identifying future ‘High Earners’. Candidates are
assessed through a 20 minute personality questionnaire, a 20 minute business
numeracy section and a 20 minute business communication essay.
Every psychometric item has an average of 100 hours development, including
language sensitivity testing for candidates with English as a second language,
and confirmatory factor analysis to ensure the quality of the scales. This
stringent development process has meant a predictive validity of 0.78.
THG is a global digital commerce group, fast becoming one of the world’s
leading beauty and wellbeing online retail organisations. THG operates more
than 160 websites that sell premium products across 140 markets. Their digital
commerce success stems from developing industry-leading and award-
winning technology, THG Ingenuity. It powers THG’s own brands, including
