Video Alur Assessment Center

Summary

This video explains the assessment center process for candidates undergoing competency evaluation. It begins with an introduction and briefing, followed by various tests and simulations designed to assess intelligence, personality, work attitudes, and problem-solving abilities. Participants engage in tasks such as case analysis, presentations, leader group discussions, and job simulations. Additionally, there is an inquiry session and a behavioral interview focusing on past actions. After the assessments, feedback is provided within 30 days, ensuring an in-depth evaluation of each candidate's potential for promotion and placement.

Takeaways

• 😀 Participants are welcomed, asked to sign in, and reminded to turn off their phones before starting the assessment center activities.
• 😀 An introductory session is conducted to explain the purpose of the assessment, which includes evaluating candidates for potential promotions and fulfilling merit system requirements.
• 😀 A psychological test is administered, measuring intelligence, personality, and work attitude, and it lasts 3-4 hours.
• 😀 A case analysis simulation is conducted, where participants analyze a problem and propose a solution. This simulation lasts for 60 minutes.
• 😀 After the case analysis, participants present their solutions during a 30-45 minute presentation simulation.
• 😀 The In-Basket Exercise (IBE) simulates real workplace scenarios where participants must prioritize, delegate, and plan actions. This exercise lasts between 60 and 90 minutes.
• 😀 A brief inquiry session follows, where an assessor clarifies answers provided by participants during the IBE. This lasts 15-20 minutes.
• 😀 The Leader’s Group Discussion (LGD) is conducted, where a group of participants discusses a problem and prepares a written recommendation. This lasts 45-60 minutes.
• 😀 A behavioral interview is conducted to assess past actions and experiences of the participants, focusing on behavior in the last two years.
• 😀 After all activities, participants are informed that feedback will be given 30 days after the assessment, marking the end of the session.

Q & A

What is the purpose of the Assessment Center process?

How do participants start the Assessment Center process?

Participants are welcomed by the staff, register their attendance, and are asked to silence their phones before entering the room. They also have the opportunity to use the restroom before the activities begin.

What type of tests are included in the Assessment Center?

The Assessment Center includes a psychological test (CAT), which assesses intelligence, personality, and work attitudes. It lasts around three to four hours.

What is the purpose of the case analysis simulation?

In the case analysis simulation, participants are given a problem and must analyze it, then create a solution. The complexity of the case can be adjusted based on the role they are being considered for.

How long does the case analysis simulation last?

The case analysis simulation lasts for 60 minutes.

What does the presentation simulation involve?

In the presentation simulation, participants present their analysis and solutions from the case analysis to assess their ability to communicate and justify their ideas.

What is the competency-based simulation (IBE)?

The IBE simulation involves tasks typical of the participant's potential future job, where they are required to prioritize, delegate, take necessary actions, and make future plans, all while managing relevant information.

How long does the IBE simulation last?

The IBE simulation typically lasts between 60 to 90 minutes.

What is the Leaders Group Discussion (LGD) simulation?

In the LGD simulation, participants discuss a problem in a group, prepare written recommendations, and are observed by an assessor. The session lasts for 45 to 60 minutes.

What is the focus of the behavioral interview?

The behavioral interview focuses on the actions, behaviors, and experiences of the participant over the past two years, particularly in relation to their previous or current position.

How is feedback provided after the Assessment Center activities?

After completing the activities, participants are informed that feedback will be provided within 30 days. The feedback process is part of the final stages of the Assessment Center.
