Assessment centre advice

This is general advice for all assessment centres, not just those conducted by Amey. The selection process involves:

• Assessment on a number of dimensions – for example: leadership ability, team working, decision making
• A range of assessment techniques – for example: interviews, individual and group exercises
• A number of assessors or observers  – this should in effect make the selection process fairer. The decision to hire is made by consensus
• Several candidates being observed together – this makes the selection process more meaningful since you can be assessed both individually and as part of a team
