Benefits of Select Assessment for Executives

Executive skills assessment through Select Assessment is a key component for improving the following organizational processes:

• Recruitment and selection
• High-potential employee evaluation
• Individual development
• Promotion
• Succession planning
• Team development
• On-boarding/Performance management

The cost of a poor executive placement can be devastating to an organization due to lost talent, missed innovation, poor decision-making, and demoralized subordinates.

Select Assessment for Executives begins by utilizing its senior I/O psychologists to gain an in-depth understanding of the client organization's mission, values, and critical success factors as well as its competencies. This process outlines the competencies essential for success within each specific organization.

Through a battery of executive skills assessment instruments, Select International defines a candidate's:

• Cognitive capacity
• Decision-making style
• Values
• Beliefs
• Management capabilities
• Approach to working with and leading others

Once the raw data is interpreted, an experienced Ph.D.-level psychologist conducts an executive skills assessment during a thorough interview with the candidate to fully understand how specific traits, abilities, and personality characteristics would actually play out on a day-to-day basis in an organization.

Feedback and Reporting

A developmental feedback session can be arranged. This insightful step not only covers practical behaviors required for success but also reveals productive and destructive personality traits.

Select prepares written reports for management that highlight the candidate's strengths and weaknesses as well as key areas for development, the person's short- and long-term potential, and “derailers” that limit effectiveness. Key areas of focus are:

• Interpersonal skills
• Leadership skills
• Cognitive abilities
• Thinking style
• Personal effectiveness/Work style
