Assessment
All successful companies have one thing in common: a strong culture.
Culture is not about the fancy office, the ping-pong table, or the colorful co-creation rooms. Culture is what people do when nobody is looking. It’s the sum of all individual behaviors in the organization: the habits that are formed, how people respond under pressure, what is being rewarded and celebrated, and what is being disfavored.
A strong culture acts as a powerful competitive advantage. It enables innovation, facilitates decision-making, engages employees, and attracts candidates to your open roles. Having a strong organizational culture means that the leadership of a company and its employees share the same values around work, work side by side to achieve a vision and mission they believe in, and together create a productive and rewarding workplace for all.
Since every culture is unique, we’ve designed assessments to be curated precisely to your company’s values and your open role’s needs for optimum results. We then map the results of each candidate against the specification of your organization.

Competency Based Assessment
For People Development
Competency-based assessment is an approach that evaluates individuals based on their ability to demonstrate specific skills and knowledge required for a particular role or task. Instead of focusing on traditional testing methods or time-based progression, this method assesses whether individuals can apply their competencies in real-world situations. Here are the key elements of competency-based assessment:
-
Skill-Focused: Emphasizes practical skills and abilities over theoretical knowledge.
-
Real-World Application: Assesses how well individuals can perform tasks in actual job settings or scenarios.
-
Personalized Learning: Allows individuals to progress at their own pace, focusing on mastering each competency before moving forward.
-
Clear Standards: Provides transparent criteria and benchmarks that individuals must meet to be considered competent.
-
Continuous Feedback: Offers ongoing feedback to help individuals improve and achieve the required competencies.
By using competency-based assessments, organizations can ensure that their workforce is capable and ready to meet job demands, leading to better performance and more efficient talent development.

Competency Based Assessment For Hiring
A competency-based interview, also known as a behavioral interview, is designed to assess candidates skills, abilities, and behaviors by asking them to provide specific examples from their past experiences. These interviews focus on how the candidates have demonstrated certain competencies or skills in their previous roles, which are relevant to the job they are applying.
-
Competency Framework: Employers identify the key competencies required for the job, such as teamwork, problem-solving, leadership, communication, and adaptability.
-
Structured Questions: Questions are structured around these competencies and typically start with prompts like "Tell me about a time when..." or "Give an example of...".
Competency-based assessments are a strategic tool for HR, enabling more accurate, fair, and effective evaluation of candidates. By focusing on the specific skills and behaviors that are critical for success in a given role, HR can enhance the quality of their hiring decisions, contributing to the organization’s overall performance and success.
