Fermion is owned and operated by Christopher Apps, its Founder and Director. Christopher has over 20 years’ continuous experience as a Psychologist and HR consultant working in the field of assessments and psychometric testing.

Over the past 13 years Fermion has specialised in psychometric testing for recruitment and organisational psychology. We are motivated by a desire to remain contemporary, well-informed, and professional. Christopher is registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency and as such is bound by a Code of Conduct and obligated to undertake ongoing professional development. This gives Fermion's clients assurances of ethical and professional behaviour and an avenue to complain if those standards are not met.

Fermion has conducted thousands of psychometric tests for recruitment and the results of these tests and profiles are interpreted and explained to our clients in the context of the candidate’s test behaviour and CV, the role they have applied for and the culture of the workplace.

At times, we would get a new client and do their testing, however, when the candidate did not work out the client would blame the psychometric testing without looking at the wider context of their recruitment process and workplace.

From this we set ourselves the goal of developing a fool-proof way to recruit good staff and then how to keep them engaged and motivated. We set about reading, listening and researching and eventually we designed a process or framework that achieves these goals and we called it, “Recruitment to Retention: How to Select Good Staff & Keep Them”. We can virtually guarantee that you will never have to be stuck with a toxic, destructive, under-performing new employee again. Fermion will show you how to select good staff and keep them at a fraction of the cost of one poor hiring decision or losing one good employee prematurely.

Mis-hires are costly; as is losing good staff prematurely. Fortunately, both problems are preventable.
