Demystifying the assessment center

Organised with the support of the Talent Management team at the CERN (a short showcase of their use of assessment tools will be included).

Many companies are using increasingly sophisticated evaluation tools in the recruitment process (psychometric tests, structured interviews, situational and case-study exercises, etc.) which may be organized together into an “assessment center,” generally half- or even a full day of activities for candidates.

The workshop will allow you to better understand the prevailing methods and techniques used for assessment centers, and to experience through the interactive parts of the course how to deal with competency-based questioning, and what to expect in the typical group exercises which recruiters tend to choose.

All of this should help you by being better informed, and we hope, more confident, should you be invited to one of these during your job search.
