PSYCHOMETRIC AND COMPETENCY BASED ASSESSMENT
Examples of services we provide:
Assessments for Selection
Talent management begins with top quality selection. We
conduct assessments at all levels to ensure that the
right person is placed in the right position. We are
accredited to use and interpret the majority of
assessment tools on the South African market (see
table). We
customise
a battery according to the job specification and
specified competency requirements.
Job and Competency Profiling
We conduct job analyses to ensure that positions are
profiled accurately in terms of competency requirements.
Against this, we can more accurately assess and provide
an indication of the likelihood of fit. We also design
competency frameworks, which form the basis of future
selection, development, and performance management
interventions.
Assessments for Career Development
We conduct comprehensive assessments at all levels, to
determine where both strengths (to be capitalized on)
and gaps (to be developed) lie. We
analyse
trends, make appropriate recommendations, and ensure
follow-up. We also do assessments for people making
career changes, as well as school leavers (career
guidance).
Team Optimisation
We facilitate team effectiveness workshops, and often
use assessments as a key tool to understand the profile
of the group, and to enable team members to appreciate
and understand each others’ differences.
Restructuring and Mergers
Assessments are a powerful tool during times of
restructuring and mergers, for all the reasons explained
above.
