What is an Assessment Centre?
In the selection process, an 'Assessment Centre' does not refer to a particular place. Instead it comprises a selection of exercises and activities that measure you on competencies and behaviours essential for the job to be successfully performed. Often these exercises and activities simulate different aspects of the work environment.
Assessment centres are viewed as providing a more comprehensive method of selecting staff given the range of assessors and assessment methods. This can also provide an insight into your fit with their workplace culture.
