A personalized assessment is a type of occupational assessment created for an organization that evaluates specific job-relevant criteria. This criteria is based on the needs of the organization and can be as broad as desired personality traits for employees or as specific as a required skill competency.
The following guide will explore the benefits of personalized assessments, how they work, and why an organization might use them.
The benefits of personalized assessments depend on their application; applications can range from candidate screening and interviewing to current employee development. Benefits can range from reduced turnover and increased productivity to decreased hiring bias and training costs.
A personalized assessment should be created specifically for your organization by an experienced vendor with in-house psychologists. Expertise from psychologists is required to ensure the assessment is legally compliant, accurate, and effective.
In order to create the assessment, the assessment vendor’s team of psychologists will meet with your organization to understand the unique challenges that need to be solved by the assessment. The psychologists will create the assessment in collaboration with your organization, ensuring that the assessment is measuring the traits and criteria your organization wants to evaluate candidates for.
Once the assessment is created, it will typically be hosted online by the assessment vendor. At this point, your organization will gain access to the vendor’s online platform and will be able to deploy the assessment as desired.
The results from each administered assessment will be displayed in the vendor’s online portal, and these results can be sorted through and reviewed as needed by the relevant team in your organization.
