It has been our experience and this is supported by most of the research that the best hiring decisions are made when the organization uses an integrated selection process – one where a series of voices evaluates the candidate’s fit with the role. This is because no one tool, not an interview, nor a role play, nor an assessment for that matter can measure all of the factors important to success in a given role. But, if you use a series measurement tools, each appropriate for what you are trying to measure you will at the end of the process have a comprehensive evaluation of person-job fit. The ASSESS voice is really positioned on the left side of this diagram. The ASSESS personality survey and cognitive abilities test measure innate capabilities – those things which are relatively stable about the person and unlikely to change with time. ASSESS helps one to identify the candidate with a natural fit for the role.
Similarly, a well-designed development program has a series of integrated steps to help the individual move through the development process from self awareness to understanding to goal setting to change. In this process ASSESS can assist both in the benchmark assessment and guidance for goal setting as well as using the 360 and Review modules to evaluate progress over time.
As a development tool, ASSESS holds up a mirror so the individual can understand how others see them and then provides constructive feedback as to why they might behave as they do. The ASSESS voice is constructive but honest, thus it will highlight strengths but also raise issues concerning potential weaknesses. We feel this is important for an individual in order to grow. While most of us know it is easier to build on strength, we also must recognise areas for development as they apply to our job effectiveness.
