Assessment centres

Some companies run a series of extended selection procedures, called assessment centres, each lasting one or two days, or sometimes longer.

Usually, these are after the first round of interviews and before the final selection but they can be used as part of an initial selection process.

Assessment centres typically include a number of elements:

  • Social/informal events
  • Information sessions
  • Tests and exercises

Check Assessment Centres and Selection Tests  provided by Prospects for more details of what to expect.

Practice tests used in assessment and selection:

  1. Numerical ability
  2. Verbal ability
  3. Abstract reasoning
  4. Technical ability
  5. Clerical ability
