(Assessment Selection Assistance Profiling)
Our assessment process is quite
simple:
1. You provide us with the names and addresses of your
finalist(s) for a position.
2.
We learn about the positions and send them a battery of
assessment instruments. We typically suggest an ASAP
packet for entry level to middle-management positions
and an ASAP Enhanced packet for senior level positions.
The assessment instruments measure more than 50 dimensions
(with ASAP) and 100 dimensions (with ASAP
Enhanced), including:
- Dominant
and Recessive Temperaments (foundation on which personality
forms)
- Dominant Personality Traits
- Leadership
Effectiveness
- Vector/Valence
(ability to align and influence)
- Communication
Style
- Decision
Making
- Conflict
Management
- Delegation
and Coaching Skills
- Information
Processing
- Self
Motivators
- Stress
- Probing
Ability
3.
The candidate(s) complete the ASAP or ASAP
Enhanced instruments and return them to us for scoring
and analysis.
4.
We send you the candidate's Personal Assessment Portfolio
and set up a time to debrief you by phone on the results.
5.
We spend about an hour with you, providing a multidimensional
view of the candidate, answering such questions as:
- How
will the individual relate to superiors, peers, subordinates,
and others already on the team?
- What
is the candidate's management style and how will it
match your company's culture?
- What
are the candidate's dominant strengths and weaknesses?
- Can
the candidate develop, adjust, influence, and lead?
- Does
this individual have any potential baggage that could
damage their success?
- Can
this individual manage conflict, be self-directed, and
get results?
- Are
there any unique characteristics that should be further
explored through interview questions, background checks,
etc.?
ASAP
and ASAP Enhanced are certainly among
our most popular products, and will in most cases meet
your pre-hire assessment needs. However, there are
some cases where clients like to actually see a candidate
"in action" before hiring them, particularly
if they are senior-level executives, individuals who will
be controlling major corporate dollars for you, or serving
in a role that could significantly impact your culture.
In these cases, we might recommend Assessment
Plus, a full assessment center approach, where
we recreate the work environment and have the candidate
perform in our Executive Simulator, located here
at the Bartell Center for Executive Assessment and Development.
