Specialist skill sets
We have worked with many public and private sector organisations to discover talent for technical/professional roles with highly specialised skill sets and behaviours.
These include the judiciary, police force, fire service, and many organisations providing specialist B2B and B2C services.
The challenge in designing valid assessment processes for highly specialised technical and professional communities lies in analysing the typical scenarios these people experience in their everyday working lives. This calls for an understanding of the legal, regulatory, ethical, social and political factors that influence job performance.
We can offer realistic and relevant tools for use in your Assessment Centres or as free-standing elements of your selection process, including:
- Simulation Exercises - our AC-EXS portfolio gives you access to off-the-shelf, customised and bespoke exercises or any combination of the three
- Competency Based Interviews - we can design questions specifically related to your own defined criteria or alternatively you can generate your own questions and interview guides using our online CBI generator, CBI-SMART™
- Technical Interviews - we can design questions and interview guides to help you collect evidence of each candidate’s relevant knowledge and experience
- Situational Judgement Tests - SJTs offer a quick and reliable means of assessing decision making and judgement through a series of work-related ‘situations’, set within the context of your organisation’s culture and values to provide candidates with a realistic job preview
- Psychometrics - our assessment processes for technical/professional roles can incorporate a battery of psychometrics to measure aspects of a candidate’s personality, mental ability, motives and talents
At the end of any consulting assignment, we always seek to confirm the results achieved. This can have a number of aims including validating the effectiveness of the talent discovery process; monitoring fairness and impact on minority groups; and identifying scope for continuous improvement.
