Discretion and respect for data
The rules are set before I step in, in a simple contract.
Your engagements stay confidential: I name no organization and no person without their written consent.
Your data is processed in accordance with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and the European regulation (GDPR).
You stay in control of your data.
What you receive and what stays confidential is defined before we begin.
Validated tools, a summary that says what matters
Only scientifically validated tools are used: inventories, tests, interview methods.
They never replace the meeting between two people.
They come in when they are useful for the person and for the process.
I report only the information that serves the decision, in few words, chosen with care.
I keep up with scientific advances in my field.
A positive outlook, feedback for every person
Whatever the service, the human remains at the heart of the process. The outcome of an assessment serves the organization as well as the person.
Every person assessed can receive feedback on their results.
Honest feedback gives full meaning to the time they have invested.
The organization benefits from this quality process, which strengthens its employer brand.
A clear voice, several perspectives
I give my opinion with full transparency: my summary ends with a reasoned recommendation. My recommendations are clear and committed, and the responsibility for the decision remains yours.
I need the real situation of the role, not an idealized one: that is what prevents a talent from leaving once in the job.
Four-eyes rule: an assessment is always observed by at least two trained people, using a shared grid, to limit cognitive biases.
The assessment fits into the continuity of a recruitment process, in collaboration with you.
A regulated practice, an AI that assists
I am a psychologist: I comply with the Swiss Federal Act on Psychology Professions and the code of ethics of the Swiss Federation of Psychologists. I am regularly supervised.
Artificial intelligence helps me with documents (spelling, syntax).
It never does the analytical work in my place.
I am the one who paints the portrait of the people I meet.
A limited volume of engagements, to stay agile
I keep a volume of engagements that lets me step in quickly.
I reply within 24 hours to anyone who gets in touch.
After an assessment, the written summary reaches you within 24 hours at the latest.
One point of contact, no hand-offs: your request never changes hands.

Questions about the method
Where is the data from an assessment or coaching stored, and who has access to it?
Summaries and files are stored in Switzerland, on kDrive (Infomaniak). Only Victor Jaques has access, with two-factor authentication, and summaries are sent through a secure link. Online questionnaires go through SoSci Survey, hosted in Germany and subject to the GDPR, with a signed data-processing agreement. Correspondence goes through Proton Mail, encrypted, in Switzerland. No data is stored in Microsoft 365 or on consumer tools. The summary and the signed agreement are kept for ten years, as provided by the FSP code of ethics, then destroyed. Working notes are deleted or anonymized no later than six months after the summary is handed over. The application file is deleted at the end of the engagement. What is passed on to the organization, and to whom, is defined before the engagement begins, in a contract. All of this complies with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and the GDPR. Every person can request a copy of their data.
Are Victor Jaques’s tools scientifically validated?
Yes, the measurement instruments Victor Jaques uses are chosen for their documented psychometric quality. His grids, plans and working tools are interview aids: they help structure the conversation, without claiming to objectify the person. These tools complement the dialogue, they do not replace it. The scientific references used appear in the Scientific sources section of the Tools page.
Does Victor Jaques use artificial intelligence?
Victor Jaques uses artificial intelligence to help draft documents (spelling and syntax checks), never for analysis. The portrait he paints of the people he meets is the fruit of his experience.
Why is an assessment always run by at least two people?
An assessment is always run by at least two trained people, because the rule of additional eyes greatly limits cognitive biases, provided the shared rating grid is used properly.
What ethical framework does Victor Jaques follow?
Victor Jaques follows the framework of his profession: the Swiss Federal Act on Psychology Professions, the code of ethics of the Swiss Federation of Psychologists (FSP) and regular supervision. He takes a positive and respectful view of people, which remains clear-sighted.
