Talent Management

Getting exceptional people to perform exceptionally, that’s talent management. Having the right people in the right place/position in your company, can provide you with the competitive edge you’ve been looking for.

Talent is measurable

In order to manage and develop talent, you first have to know what they are. Talent assessment provides a systematic approach to find out:

  • What competencies predict performance and success in a specific job/corporate position
  • Who are the people that have these competencies that will make them a successful employee
  • Who are the people that need some further development
  • Who are the people that are fit for job rotation and/or promotion

Measuring talent has positive consequences

Both you and your staff will benefit from knowing exactly what your talents and competencies are.

  • When people feel like they are fulfilling their potential, they will have a higher level of job satisfaction
  • You’ll improve the return on investment on the talent
  • We can predict the future job performance of the employee

The seven steps of an assessment

Step one: Develop the competency matrix in line with the target job

– What is the desired profile of the ideal candidate for the job?

– What are the competencies that differentiate between superior and average performance for the job?

– How do we define the ‘to look for’ competencies?

– How do these competencies translate into behavior?

– On what level of the competency does the company require the employee to perform?

Step two: Select or develop assessment tools

What is the best combination of tools is needed to optimally screen each of the required competencies in order to predict success in the target job?

 

Examples of measuring tools that can be used in an assessment:
– Inbox exercises
– Coaching exercises
– Vision presentation/ strategy speeches
– Behavioral event interview
– Personality test – We are authorized by Hogan, SHL and Psychometrics Canada for Personality Assessment tools

– Group discussion

Step three: Assess the competencies of the candidates for the job

Behavioral observation

The candidate participating in the assessment gets the opportunity to give a talk about his competencies and to demonstrate them in front of a team of professional assessors.

Recording
