Assessment Centres 

   
Business Purpose

Assessment Centres allow organisations to ensure that an accurate match is achieved between job vacancies and candidates.

Using a standard set of criteria, an Assessment Centre enables an organisation to rate all candidates in a systematic and objective way. This dramatically reduces the risk inherent in the traditional interview process.

Candidates are given an extended opportunity to display their strengths and demonstrate their full potential. The organisation can evaluate these against relevant, job specific competencies and also obtain an indication of any development needs.

A b4b Assessment Centre is based upon a thorough analysis of the role. The selection of exercises and tests contained within the centre is based upon the content of the Job Description, Person Specification and Competencies relating to the job vacancy. The process will closely reflect real-life business situations, giving candidates a useful foretaste of the job and the assessors a clear understanding of what they are seeking in a candidate. A particular strength of our approach is that we seek to understand the value of the role for the candidate and how it fits into their planned career path.

In today's rapidly changing business environment you need to recruit talented people who can meet the needs of the organisation both today and in the future. Using a b4b Assessment Centre will ensure that you choose the candidates most suited to taking your organisation forward into this new world.

Programme Structure


Each Assessment Centre has four clearly defined stages:
  • Pre Assessment Centre preparation
  • Assessment Centre
  • Data Integration
  • Feedback to Candidates
The design of the Assessment Centre will include a range of activities, which will give each candidate an opportunity to demonstrate their true abilities in the competencies being assessed.

The methods used will include a selection of the following:
  • Individual Exercises
  • Group Exercises
  • Questionnaires
  • Analytical and Psychometric Testing
  • Competence Based Interviews
Each Assessment Centre is run by a team that includes selected and trained assessors from within the organisation, together with trained assessors and a logistics co-ordinator from b4b.
