It has been widely understood for some time that traditional,
unstructured selection interviews offer poor value in terms
of predicting success in the role. For this reason, 43% of
all UK employers use assessment centres to recruit, rising
to 95% among graduate recruiters.
The application of a range of different selection tools -
an assessment centre - leads to more accurate predictions
of success in future job performance.
Even a candidate's record of past achievement is not a guarantee of success in a new organisation where fit is critical.
As an independent consultancy, Wickland Westcott is free to draw on all relevant, proven tools, including aptitude and personality measures. Our occupational psychologists design bespoke exercises which accurately reflect:
 |
the tasks people perform in the role |
 |
the different behaviours people should exhibit to be successful in the role |
so your assessment centre is not only demonstrably fair and
thorough - it's outstandingly effective as well.
Naturally, all our assessment tools and processes are designed to be fair and objective, and comply with all relevant legislation. Additionally, we work with you to ensure candidates understand the process and what is expected of them, and that they receive full and sensitive feedback.
And the business case for assessment centres? Studies show
that recruitment errors cost up to twice the annual salary
for the role.
If you need to recruit into one strategically critical role,
a number of similar roles, or have several candidates between
whom it is hard to distinguish, then assessment centres are
not only more predictive, they are cost effective as well.
