Application assessment at MEPD
Insight into behavior, talents, and competencies
In many industries, including technology, it is difficult to find staff. Or to be more precise: staff with the right qualifications. A broader approach is now being taken to find the right candidate. Are you in doubt? At MEPD, we recommend an application assessment! An application assessment provides insight into the behavior, talents, and competencies of potential new employees. It provides a solid foundation for making the right selection decision and is a valuable addition to your own judgement. Moreover, perhaps most importantly, it helps prevent a potential mismatch. The result: The best person in the right place!
Why use an application assessment?
Application assessments are often used to support the decision-making process in a recruitment procedure. It answers the question of how suitable a candidate is for a specific position or role. This way, you can make a well-considered choice, especially when in doubt. Besides someone’s ability to fulfill a certain position, whether someone actually fits the organization is at least as important. During the application assessment, we map out areas for development and indicate where there may be a risk with the candidate, helping us predict the likelihood of success and try to prevent a mismatch. The candidate’s performance on the assessment is compared to the specific job requirements and possibly to the performance of other candidates. An application assessment at MEPD consists of various tests, sometimes role-play exercises, and interviews. ‘Hard’ job requirements such as the candidate’s intelligence level are tested, as well as the ‘soft’ job requirements such as personality, motivations, and behavior. The application assessment takes half a working day. Or a full day if you also opt for a labor-psychological examination involving psychologists and actors. The assessment is conducted at MEPD, but can also take place on location.
