Assessment
With deep expertise in Assessment coupled with advanced technology solutions (6th generation psychometric tests), Delime Executive Search helps companies evaluate either candidates (external recruitment) or existing employees (internal promotion).
Our tools are available in standard or customised versions and in several languages, to suit client requirements.
In our experience, assessment often applies to middle management.
Yet companies rarely have the appropriate tools and methods with which to evaluate them.
Middle managers have specific characteristics that should be taken into account:
- They are constantly exposed to demands from clients or their hierarchy and are not always trained to deal with them.
- They have rarely acquired managerial skills during their initial qualifications;
- There is a significant gap between technical skills (regardless of training or experience) and managerial know-how, resulting in a risk of poor assessment of managerial potential;
- Lack of time, too busy with essential operational tasks to stop and take stock of a situation;
- They have a real need for recognition.
Assessment should objectively evaluate an individual, point out strengths, weaknesses, current skills and opportunities for improvement in a professional environment.
Our assessment methods rank behaviours as exemplary, operating, penalizing or disqualifying.
This methodology avoids personal judgments that are necessarily based on subjective value scales – each of us has a personal view of the concepts of strengths, weaknesses and opportunities for improvement – to refer only to observable behaviours judged on the same criteria. The result is a more objective assessment and more accurate results, which facilitates the implementation and monitoring of a personalized action plan.
