Assessment Centres
Recruitment Assessment

Assessment Centres are useful when a number of candidates need to be compared to one another.

They can be used for external recruitment or internally, either to fill a vacancy or identify people with potential.

When used for external recruitment, an Assessment Centre has the following benefits:

• Ensures efficient use of time: all the applicants are brought together allowing the last stage of the selection process to be completed in a day or so.
• Allows the skills and attributes of each candidate to be compared against all the others and to be more accurately assessed across a range of tasks.
• Allows the active involvement of Line Managers in crucial selection decisions.
• Provides the opportunity for Managers acting as assessors to develop their skills of assessing behaviour through observation.

When used internally, an Assessment Centre offers the following additional benefits:

• It is a demonstrable example of how the organisation is investing in its employees and in their future.
• It is an opportunity for the organisation to identify the potential of their employees far more successfully than through an interview alone.
• It highlights key areas of strength and skill shortages within the organisation, and thus the opportunity to address any deficiencies.
• It readily enables succession planning.
