Assessment & development Centres
An assessment centre is three times more likely to be predictive of subsequent job success than a selection interview.
Our typical approach:
- Enables several people to be assessed simultaneously, enabling interaction between participants, as well as cost effectiveness.
- Makes assessments on several competences, clearly defined for the job.
- Uses a variety of techniques that are matched to the requirements of the job, to ensure a comprehensive coverage of the competences
- Involves several assessors so increasing objectivity and impartiality.
There are several advantages of our approach to Assessment / Development Centres:
- It allows participants to demonstrate a wide range of skills
- It affords more time than a traditional interview in which to impress the assessors - previous candidates have said that this process enables them to overcome any interview nerves
- It reviews competences consistently, which ensures a fair chance for all applicants, by eliminating bias. It overcomes any tendency by interviewers to say, "I can spot 'em as soon as they walk through the door". This is especially helpful in the context of diversity
- We give feedback to provide an opportunity to highlight any necessary development to enhance future opportunities for success
- A development centre shares all these advantages with an assessment centre, although their objectives are different.
