BENCHMARKING

There are occasions, principally when recruiting or promoting, when firms need to assess those who work for them in order to develop a profile of the desirable attributes of those in line for the role in question. We fulfill this task by using a psychometric approach to staff currently in post and by undertaking a job analysis to identify the nature of the actual work involved.

Evidence from these two sources may then be used to provide the basis for the selection process, from advertising to individual assessment. The system is dynamic in that, where the job itself or the nature of the incumbent may be subject to change, adjustments can be made relatively easily within the process.
