Useful how-to guide for creating and delivering suites of assessments

Poor hiring decisions take a toll on a company. Increasingly, businesses are implementing a wider variety of assessment tools to achieve better results in their hiring and promotion processes. Occupational psychologist Ian Taylor shows how assessment centers (or suites) can help your firm differentiate the "good" performers from the "average" ones, which is crucial knowledge for building a more productive workforce. Taylor presents several methods for designing a solid "competence framework" to structure your assessments, including one useful seven-step system. He helpfully provides sample frameworks and activities that you can use or adapt in your own assessment centers. Although some of his information and guidelines are specific to organizations in the U.K., getAbstract recommends this manual to any human resources professional who wants to create a well-planned assessment center.

BENARKAH REKRUTMENT ANDA?

Anda telah menyelesaikan serangkaian wawancara promosi internal untuk seorang pemimpin tim. Kepala department telah menunjuk satu kandidat, yang anda sendiri tak yakin; dan kandidat itu sangat gugup saat wawancara sehingga menyebabkan komunikasi yang buruk. Tak jelas apa kekuatannya, lebih senang fokus pada tahun-tahun pengalamannya, agresif dalam merespon situasi yang berhubungan dengan masalah kinerja yang kurang baik. Ini jelas beda sekali dengan kandidat pilihan anda; luar biasa, mampu memberikan jawaban pantas untuk masalah kinerja yang kurang baik, siap menghadapi tantangan dan kesempatan dalam memimpin tim. Sayangnya dalam pandangan kepala department, dia seorang yang agresivitas. Ini jelas tidak adil, karena dalam pandangan anda, motivasi dan keputusan kepala department cenderung pada sikap seseorang yang tidak akan menentang keputusan-keputusannya kelak, dan anda mengalami dilematis untuk profesi, tugas dan tanggung jawab anda, yang anda pasti tahu akan dicap sebagai ‘stempel karet’ untuk harga profesi anda.

Fenomena-fenomena ini sering terjadi bagi profesi-profesi recruitment seperti anda; pendekatan dan perangkat apakah yang harus diambil atas keputusan yang objektif? Haruskah tetap pada objektifitas meski sudah berlandaskan hal-hal yang ilmiah atau merubah menjadi sebuah gaya seni sesuai dengan identitas dan karakter kerja anda.

Ian Taylor -seorang ahli psikologi kerja yang bergabung dengan British Psychological Society dan Chartered Institute of Personnel Development, serta selama 20 tahun sebagai praktisi pengembangan manajemen- memberikan rangkaian dasar “bagaimana menjalankan assessment centre”; cara mudah dan efektif mengenal, merancang dan melakukan assessment dan development centre yang di sertai penilaian terhadap penyelia dan staff mangment lini pertama.

Setidaknya buku ini dapat memberikan gambaran tegas bagi para recruitmer dalam mengambil langkah ke objektivitasan nya! ARYU
