What is recruit assessment?
Recruit assessments have been being used in America for a
long time and have proved a valuable technique to recruiting
new staff. It does not replace the application, short-listing and
interview process, it is used in addition to these processes to
evaluate each applicant’s potential. Britain is slowly catching
up and the popularity of recruit assessment is growing.
For those of you who have experience of employing staff we
ask you to reflect on the following two questions.
How much do you really know about a perspective employee
when you have interviewed them?
Have you employed people only to find that their attitude or
aptitude is not suited to the work they have applied for?
Recruit assessment is a process of observing applicants doing
a variety of tasks that gives an insight into their potential
working practices. This can include written assessment,
competency based interview, practical assessment and
situation scenario assessment.
The results of the observations are collated in the form of a
report which will give you, the Company, a valid prediction of
what to expect from an applicant before you interview them.
An applicant will be monitored on not only what they do, but
the way they do it.
Each Company is obviously different and therefore their needs
and the roles of the employees are different. We will work with
you to create the best type of recruit assessment process and
will provide the materials to do it.
Assessment processes can also be used to ascertain training
needs of teams and individuals of existing staff.
Are there any problems with recruit assessment?
Yes, recruit assessment is costly and time consuming for a
Company to design and undertake. The reason that a lot of
Companies do not use recruit assessment is that it is not cost
effective for the number of people that they employ
