Judging the true leadership ability of those seeking management positions is almost always a difficult proposition. Employers frequently lack the means to obtain accurate information about a candidate's skills and to evaluate the information they do receive. Hiring the wrong person is a costly mistake for any company.
Our assessment center solves this problem by providing employers with a comprehensive view of the leadership skills and potential of management candidates.
In an intensive, full-day process, we not only assess candidates through conventional means such as cognitive ability testing, personality testing, and interviewing, but we also evaluate their responses to real-life situations through the use of simulations. Our leadership simulations require candidates to demonstrate actual ability in settings they are likely to encounter on the job, such as managing the performance of subordinates and persuading colleagues in group sessions.
We are thus able to assess a wide range of leadership skills, including:
|
Decisiveness Judgment Persuasion and influence

Our assessment centers are valuable whether an employer is making hiring decisions, identifying the best internal candidate for promotion, or developing the leadership skills of existing employees. In each case, Performance Associates will provide a comprehensive written report on the candidates and, when appropriate for leadership development, an individual development plan for the person. We also offer assistance in implementing individual development plans.
We conduct assessment centers in our own state-of-the-art facility in Memphis or at other locations of the client's choosing. Employers often find that holding assessment centers at our offices is a convenient and cost-effective way to evaluate candidates. Memphis is centrally located with a major international airport not far from our location.
We would enjoy talking with you about the benefits of an assessment center for your organization. Please call or email us for more information.
