Mastering Assessor Skills
The Challenge
Many organisations successfully use ‘Assessment or Development Centres' where multiple candidates work through numerous exercises. These are designed to focus on the skills and abilities important for the role and are highly predictive of future performance.
However, attempting to assess multiple delegates at these events, without the appropriate training, can lead to the collection of poor candidate information which, in turn, leads to poor decisions being made. This practical programme provides delegates with the skills required to objectively assess people at assessment and development centres.
