ASSESSMENT CENTRES

Network supports a robust recruitment process that optimises reliable outcomes through sound recruitment practices. Evaluation by way of assessment centres focuses on the systematic and objective identification of behaviours.

During the preliminary stage of the recruitment exercise the Network account team conducts a thorough role analysis and determines a set of clearly defined competencies with behavioural indicators. Once established the Network Account Manager, in consultation with the client, selects the most relevant tools to be incorporated into the assessment centre.

Assessment Centre Methodology

Network’s recruitment methodology incorporates all elements required for success in the role and organisation and favours assessments with high predictive validity. Our assessment centre approach incorporates a weighted focus on behavioural assessments and comprises a battery of tools that reflect the core competencies identified as critical for success in the role. Core competencies are evaluated in multiple exercises to ensure consistency and to enhance reliability. The suite of available assessment tools includes the following:

Computer packages skills testingGroup activities
Behavioural based interviewsPresentations
Work sample exercisesPsychometric evaluations
RoleplaysValues and motivational assessments
Work simulation using The SimulatorReference checking

The Network Assessment Team

The Network assessment team conducts and evaluates all candidate assessments. A central assessment centre facilitator is present at each session to ensure consistency in all evaluations. Multiple assessors observe all exercises and at the conclusion of the session the assessors debrief to review candidate performance. An integration process follows where the calibration of candidate results occurs.
