Organizations continually evaluate selection procedures and seek innovative ways to identify training and development needs. Agencies with large numbers of employees increasingly turn to assessment centers to provide an accurate evaluation of an individual’s capabilities.
The goal of assessment centers is to evaluate the performance of a number of candidates simultaneously by using a variety of tests, techniques, interviews, questionnaires and simulation exercises. Assessment centers have proven to be valuable for college recruiters allowing them to gain an accurate view of applicants that best fit specific aspects of an organization.
Assessment centers also provide the ideal environment to assess existing employees’ training and development needs, remove subjective judgments to provide a clear view of applicants’ strengths and weaknesses and enable organizations to identify those areas where particular skills are scarce.
