Assessment
centers
Objective measurement
and evaluation
Multiple assessors ensure a balanced and objective evaluation. We use carefully selected and scientifically validated assessment tools. The combination of different methods and evaluation moments increases reliability and quality.
Empathetic and
recognisable approach
Respect for the candidate is always central. We combine a human and empathetic approach with challenges that take candidates beyond their comfort zone. Through realistic assignments and attention to the candidate experience, we create a fair and meaningful assessment process.
Concise reporting that
strengthens final decisions
Our reports are clear and to the point. We formulate well-considered conclusions so that your organisation can make well-founded final decisions. Our report is also a useful tool for the professional growth and development of the candidate.
Why work with
an assessment center?
An assessment center aims to support the selection of external or internal candidates in an objective and scientifically grounded way. This allows your organisation to make a well-founded strategic decision about your human capital.
We assess the candidate’s skills and attitudes against the role and the values of your organisation. We do this using a broad range of tests, interactions and case studies, from a neutral perspective. Behaviour and motivation are central in this process. The competency grid, which we define together with you, serves as the guiding framework.
Afterwards we provide fast competency-based reporting and a clear final recommendation. This gives insight into whether the candidate is a match for the role or not.
Available formats
Full-day assessment
Tests and interactions take place physically at our office or at a location of your choice and take a full working day. A full-day assessment can be useful for team leaders, management roles, etc.
Half-day assessment
Tests and interactions take place physically at our office or at a location of your choice and take half a working day. This can be useful for individual contributors or when only a limited number of competencies (e.g. sales skills, planning skills, work attitude, etc.) need to be assessed.
Virtual assessment
For several years now, we have refined our digital assessments and added them as a permanent part of our offering. The methodology and quality remain the same as a physical assessment, but the practical setup is different.
Hybrid modules
We also offer hybrid modules consisting of a combination of the formats above. Candidates may prepare online while interactions take place physically or on location.

Frequently Asked
Questions
In this FAQ you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our operations, approach and practical arrangements. This way you quickly get a clear overview without having to search.
Depending on your question and the context, the number of steps may vary. In most cases, however, an assessment process consists of about six steps: the request, an intake regarding the role, scheduling the candidates, conducting the assessment, reporting, and finally feedback and possibly a later follow-up conversation.
Depending on your request, we work with tailor-made tools and cases or we put together the programme together. A selection of our tailor-made tools:
- Personality questionnaires
- Reasoning tests
- Simulation exercises (business case, presentation, role plays, in-basket exercise)
- In-depth interview
- Behaviour-based interview
- Self-reflection
- Leadership toolbox
- Commercial toolbox
Once the assignment has been confirmed, we can usually schedule the assessment within a period of 7 days.
The full written report is delivered by default within 2 working days.
If faster feedback is required, this can be discussed in consultation. For example, a verbal feedback session can already take place the day after the assessment.
Although we mainly focus on companies and organisations, individuals can also contact us for a development center. This can complement a trajectory already followed through, for example, career guidance vouchers. The specific request can be further discussed during a no-obligation conversation.
