Five Reasons to Bring your Assessment Centre into the Digital Age
Technology has transformed the way organisations design and manage their recruitment processes. The days of paper-based screening are long gone, replaced by online technology which manages the application process smoothly and efficiently for organisations and candidates. Smart digital innovations such as online assessment and video interviewing are being used to assess talent in a fast, effective and fair way, helping organisations make better hiring decisions. Yet, all too often the investment in technology-led solutions in the early stages of the hiring process is not matched when it comes to the assessment centre. This digital disconnect means the assessment centre – a mainstay of the hiring process – remains a labour intensive, paper-based and error-prone.
Nudges to Improve Diversity & Inclusion in your Graduate Programs
In a recent AAGE survey, 66% of employers cited diversity and inclusion as a key challenge that remains when recruiting graduates.
We all know that there is sadly no “silver bullet” to improve the diversity of graduate recruits however there are a small number of “nudges”, i.e. – small actions which when completed together may contribute to address the diversity challenges you may face with your graduate program.
Learning Value Proposition (LVP)
Fact. Graduates consider the development opportunities on offer when looking for an employer.
Fact. It is no longer acceptable as an organisation to ignore the importance of graduate development for the individual graduate as well as the business as a whole.
