Assessment Centres – reducing the risk of making the wrong hiring decision

Recruitment is a risky business and with traditional interviews having only a 1 in 10 chance of selecting the right candidate, assessment centres are increasingly being used as a key part of the selection process.

Assessment Centres use role and organisation specific competencies to evaluate candidates. A range of activities related to the role together with ability and psychometric testing combine to test candidates more rigorously and fairly and to provide the employer with the opportunity to make a more informed and accurate hiring decision.
