Presentation Outline
Hiring the right person for a specific job is crucial and challenging for most companies. Picking the wrong person can be expensive and considered as waste of time and resources. It can also be very damaging to staff morale, to employees’ credibility within the company and to its finances, or all three.
In order to identify potential talent gaps and training needs, researchers came up with a new method of selection and hiring: Assessment Center. Recruiters use assessment centers to find out how candidates perform in various situations, in particular group situations, which are often modeled on real life work-based scenarios.
Because this tool is becoming an excellent mean of hiring, I chose to talk more indepth about it and give details about its structure.
