At The DEJ Group, we understand that hiring the right leader isn’t just about resumes or references—it’s about fit. That’s why we’ve integrated Hogan Assessments into our executive search and leadership consulting services to bring deeper insight, objectivity, and impact to every engagement.

As certified Hogan practitioners, we are equipped to administer and interpret world-class personality assessments that help our clients make better hiring decisions and support leaders in their professional development.

Why Personality Assessment Matters

Hiring, coaching, and developing leaders requires more than a surface-level evaluation. Our clients—nonprofits, foundations, and membership organizations—depend on us to identify talent that not only meets the role’s qualifications but aligns with the organization’s mission, culture, and long-term strategy.

Hogan Assessments allow us to go beyond instinct and delve into the personality characteristics that influence how a person leads, collaborates, reacts under stress, and aligns with team dynamics. With decades of research behind it, Hogan is one of the most validated personality assessment tools available for predicting workplace performance.

How We Use Hogan in Our Work

Whether we’re conducting an executive search or delivering leadership consulting, Hogan plays a critical role in enhancing our client outcomes. We typically deploy the following assessments:

Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI): Measures the bright-side of personality—how someone typically behaves when at their best.

Hogan Development Survey (HDS): Identifies derailers—those traits that can emerge under stress and potentially interfere with relationships and performance.

Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory (MVPI): Reveals what drives a person—what they care about, what motivates them, and what kind of culture they will thrive in.

We use these tools at strategic points in our process:

For Clients: As part of our executive search methodology, we include Hogan assessments to deepen the evaluation of top candidates and ensure alignment with the organization’s leadership needs. We also use it in succession planning and team development projects to foster stronger, more self-aware leadership teams.

For Candidates and Leaders: We offer assessment debriefs and coaching to help candidates better understand their strengths, blind spots, and leadership style—whether they’re applying for a new role or working to grow in their current one.

Certified Expertise You Can Trust

Our team is certified in administering and interpreting Hogan assessments. This means we don’t just deliver results—we guide clients and leaders through what those results mean and how to use them effectively. Our approach ensures the data becomes a strategic asset, not just a report.

Bringing Science and Strategy Together

At The DEJ Group, we believe that leadership decisions should be driven by both data and discernment. Integrating Hogan into our executive search and leadership consulting projects helps us deliver greater value, reduce hiring risk, and support the growth of high-performing, aligned leadership teams.
