Suitability assessments
Stand out from the competition with unique know-how
The nature of work is changing, and there is a clear shift from rigid job descriptions to organisations looking for people with broad and versatile skill sets. The strength of your human resources can give you a crucial competitive advantage. Few jobs today can be successfully performed with just one specialist skill.
Competition over the best talent is fierce, and every hire you make has to be spot on. Suitability assessment is a great way to compare your recruitment needs against your organisation’s strategic goals. Do you have the right people in place to achieve your goals now and in the future?
Suitability assessment as a management tool
Most recruitment processes include a suitability assessment. A suitability assessment provides information that a job interview alone does not reveal. It gives you a better understanding of your new hire, which can be invaluable when you come to assign tasks to them.
Suitability assessment can also act as a management tool in connection with, for example, organisational restructuring, identifying potential talent, competence inventories and human resources development planning as well as in identifying weaknesses in your staff’s management, teamwork and communication skills.
Suitability assessment as a way to spot talent
The process starts with identifying the purpose of the assessment and what you want to learn from it. In the context of recruitment, it is important to know not just the strengths and weaknesses of each candidate but also how they are likely to fit in with your organisation’s culture, their future team and your management style and whether they would get on with their line manager and co-workers.
Our suitability assessments are based on reliable, evidence-based mixed-methods approaches to evaluating candidates’ ability, motivation and personality and measuring their suitability to the role in question. The assessment consists of multiple stages and is performed by a designated consultant to ensure a successful outcome.
