TALEA Performance Index - Candidate Instructions

As part of your application process, you are invited to complete the TALEA Performance Index Assessment, which consists of approximately 40 multiple-choice questions.

What to Expect

The assessment is designed to provide insight into your natural work style, strengths, preferences, and workplace behaviours.
There are no right or wrong answers. The most valuable results come from answering each question honestly and selecting the response that best reflects you.
Most candidates complete the assessment in approximately 10–15 minutes, although completion times may vary depending on individual reading and response speed. Personality and performance-style assessments of this type are typically completed within 15–45 minutes.

Why Complete the Assessment?
Upon completion, a personalized report will be generated outlining your key strengths, work preferences, and potential areas of contribution. This report can be used as part of your job application to help showcase your capabilities and provide additional insight into your suitability for the role.

Tips for Success

Complete the assessment in a quiet environment with minimal distractions.
Answer spontaneously rather than overthinking each question.
Ensure you complete and submit all questions to generate your report.

Thank you for taking the time to complete the assessment. We look forward to learning more about your unique strengths and potential.
