Tenure Isn't Leadership . Test for the Real Thing
The longest-serving engineer isn't automatically the best manager. Scenario questions on delegation, coaching, and hard calls show who's ready to lead.

Why Leadership Needs Its Own Assessment
Most organisations promote their strongest individual contributor and hope management skills arrive with the title. They usually don't. Delegation, coaching, and decision-making under ambiguity are separate skills from the work that earned the promotion, and the cost of discovering a gap after the fact is paid by an entire team.
QuikQ's Leadership template puts candidates in realistic management scenarios: a strong performer who suddenly disengages, a deadline that requires saying no to a stakeholder, a conflict between two capable people. Answers are scored, results break down by competency, and you get a structured signal to weigh alongside interviews and track record.
