Assessment
There's one big reason for doing assessment – it's about the reduction of risk:
Critical Hires and Promotions. Recruit or promote the wrong leader to an influential
position and you risk a direct financial impact but combine this with what can happen
to engagement, absenteeism and labour turnover and the result can be collateral damage
that is many times the person’s salary. But assessment is not an end in itself as little
changes just because it has been measured. Really understanding a leader’s relative
strengths and weaknesses is an excellent start point but this knowledge needs to be
acted upon. The way in which we assess recognises this and forms the first of a number
of inter-linked development steps, which result in higher levels of personal performance.
And there are a host of other ways we can help:
Role Profiling and Competency Design. Competencies lie at the heart of
most organisations.
They are not just essential to the end to end HR life cycle but they also encapsulate the
values and shape the culture of a business. We work with our clients to identify the key skills and behaviours
that are critical for successful performance within their firm.
Recruitment and Selection Process Review. Whether you typically recruit
for volume roles or
specialist positions with scarce skills your recruitment process is not only fundamental to
identifying talent but it also represents your brand reputation. We will review your end to
end recruitment process and make recommendations for improvements to ensure it is cost
effective, up-to-date and accurately represents your employer brand. This includes relevant
policies, e-recruitment systems, interview guides, assessment tool-kits and psychometric tools.
Interview Design. Interviews are an essential part of most assessment processes and often
they are poorly constructed. We create bespoke structured interview guides designed to elicit rich
evidence from each candidate that enables our clients to make the right decisions for their business.
Assessment & Development Centre Design. Assessment and development can be expensive and
resource hungry, but when they are designed by experts they dramatically increase the return
on investment through the accuracy of the assessment and the richness of the development plans.
We design engaging and stretching assessment and development centre processes for all levels and types of role.
These can involve a wide range of off-the-shelf and bespoke materials, including psychometric tools and simulation exercises.
Assessment & Development Centre Delivery. We offer an outsourced delivery option which is fully
resourced by us or alternatively we use a blend of client and Sixth Sense assessors. Furthermore, we ensure the centres
are as ‘stress-free’ as possible by organising all the logistics. After the events we provide individual feedback and
coaching to participants as well as comprehensive and clear written reports, if required.
Assessor Training. To ensure the quality of the assessment process, we offer our clients the
opportunity to be trained in best-practice interview and assessment techniques. Our training
engages people from all learning styles and builds on current knowledge and expertise. It
also covers relevant company policy and employment law.
