Assessment and Development Centres

The dramatic growth of assessment and development centres in recent years has generated an increased demand for guidance on how to design and run them. This new book, by two of the UK's leading specialists in the field, will go a long way towards meeting that need.It looks at the entire process, from the underlying concepts to the most effective methods of validation - not forgetting the organizational politics involved. The main objectives of the book are: to establish a thorough understanding of the principles and practice of assessment centres; to provide sufficient knowledge to enable practitioners to run some events for themselves; to help readers to recognise where they may need to call on outside expertise; and to equip readers to ask pertinent questions of any prospective advisers.
