Processes for success
Are you able to do this in-house? If you have any doubts, it’s best to get a specialist who can manage the processes end-to-end to ensure effectiveness, efficiency and cohesion.
An expert will take the worry and guesswork out of:
- Articulating and assessing the competencies, skills and behaviours of the talent pool.
- Designing and facilitating assessment centres from start to finish.
- Creating assessment material that suits your needs for both physical and virtual assessments, including:
Application forms.
Interview questions.
SJQs.Role-play exercises.
Written assessments.
Group exercises.
Case study exercises.
- Ensuring your assessments give the best candidate experience so they’re left with an authentic view of your organisation.
- Creating guidelines for assessors, including how to score candidates.
And asking the big questions like:
- What are you looking for in your early talent?
- What do you in turn offer?
‘We have worked with Jarred Consulting for a number of years on our assessment centres – they have helped us with telephone interviewing and writing new assessment centre material. We’ve always found them very thorough, helpful and prompt with their interview feedback and the assessment material they created for our assessment centres has been very well received by the business and candidates.'
