Insight into competencies.

What is Assessment Center?

Assessment centers are generally recommended in situations when an employer needs to make sure that the right person is chosen for a certain job.

The Assessment Center (AC) is the most reliable method for selecting employees with the highest potential for performing a given job. This method combines various situations and tasks that correspond with the competencies necessary to succeed in a specific position.

The Assessment Center is usually designed as a half-day or one-day program. The tasks can include a presentation on a given topic, role playing, group and individual tasks or case studies. Psychometric testing is also an important part of the selection process.

In order to design the AC tasks well, a detailed analysis of the present and future requirements for performing the given job successfully must be carried out. Having multiple assessors, who bring various methods, observe the candidates, and compare their observations and evaluations after the AC, it ensures the objectivity of the final decision.

How does Assessment Center work?

Candidates are observed in several individual and group situations (job psychodiagnostics, performance tests, model situations, case studies, role play, for example) that correspond to the competencies necessary for success in the given position within the organization.

  • Individual AC to assess leadership potential of the candidates for managerial role or executive functions
  • Group AC to assess specific competencies for expert roles
  • Assessing the potential of both external and internal candidates
  • Choosing Talent Program participants
