Satisfaction study serves as a consistent dialogue between staff and the organisation. The survey helps identify the strengths and development needs of an organisation. Having a better idea of expectations, the organisation can set goals that support its balanced development as well as the commitment and loyalty of its employees.
To collect data for job satisfaction survey, we use a questionnaire that serves as a confidential channel for the staff to express their honest and straightforward opinion. This promotes trust in the survey, which in turn encourages employees to contribute their opinion.
The more variety in the topics included, the more detailed information we can present about the working environment, units and different staff groups.
To carry out the survey efficiently, the service provider needs to know the organisation well, in order to cover all topics that are important for both the staff and the organisation.
360 degree feedback is a popular method for studying the competences of managers and specialists in an organisation. During the survey, the peers, direct reports and manager are asked to give feedback to an employee, while the self completes a similar questionnaire. The survey helps pinpoint the performance strengths of managers and specialists, their development needs, as well as discover hidden resources that can be put for good use for the success of the organisation.
360 degree feedback supports the evolvement of a fruitful dialogue between the manager and the self, and addresses the strengths and development needs. In the long run, the survey helps shape open and development-oriented organisation culture.
To collect feedback, a questionnaire is compiled in cooperation with the customer to cover competences necessary for the duties of the self. It is possible to rely on the competence model already used in the organisation, and if necessary, add questions to address competences specific to the organisation.
Customer surveys allow for describing clearly the characteristics of a product or service as seen by their consumers. How customers perceive various aspects of a product or service, which of them is considered as the most important. The survey can also be used to identify the product or service whose properties suit the customer the best within a certain price range.
Internal customer survey aims at facilitating and improving cooperation within an organisation, so that it could offer better quality for its external customers. An internal customer is an employee who uses the services or support offered by other departments ad well as cooperation partners. This way, each employee serves both as a customer and an employee in an organisation.
To conduct an internal customer satisfaction survey, we use questionnaires prepared for the service offered by certain department or cooperation partner. It is possible to use a universal questionnaire that suits all the departments and allows for comparing them, or a specific questionnaire, tailor-made to each department, which gives a more detailed insight.
We offer professional psychological tests, developed in Estonia, for recruitment, assessment and counselling purposes.
In the tests intended for specialist positions, the result is compared to the average of the population, in the tests intended for managers or in specialised tests, to that of managers or a specific group in similar tests. Our measures can also be used to test your English skills.
We offer a personality inventory and mental ability scale for assessing people for specialist and managerial positions
- Personality Inventory NEO-TRI/2 for specialists / Personality Inventory for Managers MPI
The test describes a person based on five principal personality traits. These include Emotional Stability, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness and Openness to Experience. In addition, the test measures a number of more specific traits related to these five aspects.- Mental Ability Scale for specialists VVS / Mental Ability Scale for managers MMAS
The test helps get an overview of the mental/ cognitive abilities of the test taker and predict his/her performance in solving abstract problems. The test intended for specialists describes verbal, arithmetical, spatial and general ability. The manager's test also includes a scale of arithmetical and logical thinking.- Visual Speed and Accuracy test for specialists
The test measures a specific aspect of mental abilities, which relates to analysis abilities. In other words, the test measures how quickly and accurately a person can process visual information. This serves as a precondition for successful performance in positions that require quick and precise analysis of written verbal and numerical information.
Special tests
We develop tests that are tailor-made to customer needs or designed for assessing people in a particular field, for example.Of special tests, we offer for for use the Spatial Ability Scale RVS that is suitable for identifying potential in working in technology and IT. The data collected during the standardisation of the test confirm what has already been established by research: namely, that people working for science, technology, engineering and mathematics are characterised by a higher level of spatial abilities compared to others. The results of the test are generated in comparison with a norm group consisting of IT and technology specialists.
Language tests
We also offer tests for assessing English proficiency. They help predict how well the test taker would cope using his/her foreign language skills in various situations.Tripod-ENG comprises four tests to assess different aspects of proficiency: understanding written text, understanding oral text, the ability to write or to speak in English.
We recommend selecting one or two tests for measuring the skills that are above all expected from the person to be tested.The tests developed by Tripod for counselling purposes can be used when selecting suitable curricula or career options in career or psychological counselling. The tests have been standardised on norm groups comprising Estonian school children and adults. The tests can be taken in Estonian and Russian. We will keeo the results for five years.

Within over ten years, Tripod has successfully completed more than 200 recruitment projects in both public and private sector. Our customers range from Estonian branches of multinational corporations to small companies funded by Estonian capital.
We offer full service - together with the customer we map the search profile, contact potential candidates, interview and test them. You can find more detailed information about assessment here. We present three to five candidates who match the search profile best, followed by obtaining references for the final candidates. Depending on the profile, we use executive search, database search or publicly advertised search. If necessary, we combine the methods for a better outcome.
Before making the offer, we wish to discuss the task ahead and the expectations for the future employee in greater detail. The price depends on the position and the search method. The search process usually takes three to six weeks.In executive search, we first map the areas where we can find suitable candidates for the customer as agrees. We usually include candidates who already work for a similar organisation. We contact them and provide information about the vacancy.
Executive search is used for recruiting managers and specialists and in areas where there is little movement on the labour market. Of the search methods, executive search requires the longes time to complete.
In database search, we look for suitable candidates from various public databases (e.g. LinkedIn, CV-Online, among our own pool of contacts). we contact candidates who have published their CV and this way shown their interest to receive job offers.
As there are numerous candidates in databases, it can take a long time to go through them, or the final pool will include people who are in fact not suited for the job. This is where we can help: we have a thorough experience in using databases, thanks to which we can search the right sources, fast and efficiently.In publicly advertised search, we search among the candidates who have responded to the job ad. We publish the job ad in the print and/or online media agreed with the customer. Information about the job can be shared in newspapers, job portals, newsletters of professional organisations or communicated for example as an article (content marketing).
Based on our experience, we can recommend the best solutions. We discuss opportunities with the customer in every search adn select the channels that deliver the message straight to the target audience. Unlike in database search, publicly advertised search also targets candidates who are not on the lookout for a new career opportunity.
It is also worthwhile to note that publicly advertised search can be used for promoting the employer's brand and delivering messages to the public, e.g. about the expansion of the company.We commit to developing you and your team in the areas of cooperation, interpersonal skills and performance efficiency.
We help map the current state of affairs, launch change and reach the desired outcome.
