Assessment Centres Graduate Recruitment for Employers

Graduate Assessment Centres

When our clients have decided they need to recruit a number of graduates at the same time we have worked with them to develop a successful assessment day. No two days are ever the same and as the client, it is your choice on how much involvement you want. This can be a cost-effective and time effective way of selecting candidates for the same or similar role and creates a real buzz for all involved on the day…. That’s if you get it right!

So what is an assessment centre and what is involved?

It’s a series of activities or tasks that are relevant to the job that will assess a candidate’s suitability for the role and for the company.

Activities & Exercises

At The Graduate, we have worked with our clients in developing a whole range of activities and key exercises that can assist in the assessment of candidates on the day as well as check the documentation and activities that are already in place. These activities and exercises would include:

• One on one interviews
• Panel interviews
• in-tray exercises
• Presentations
• Team exercises
• Tests – numerical, proofreading, writing, analysing information
• Physical team assessments and exercises

It is vital that all delegates attending an assessment centre are marked in the same way so you can compare results. The Graduate will either create the matrix for you or assist with creating. You are the client so we work with you until you have the right solution for your campaign.
