What is an assessment?
An assessment is a structured way to objectively assess someone’s competencies, behaviour, and potential. Organisations use assessments to make better decisions when selecting, promoting, and developing employees, and to prevent such decisions from being based solely on gut feelings.
An assessment centre combines different methods to provide a complete and reliable picture. In addition to individual assessments, there are also assessments at the level of a team or an entire organisation.
Assessment, development centre of team assessment: what is the difference?
Selection assessment
Helps determine whether a candidate is a good fit for a position and for the organisation.
Development centre
Focus on development: strengths and growth points become the starting point for an development plan.
Team assessment
It maps out the collaboration, roles, and dynamics of a fully-functioning team.
Organisational scan
Investigates what is happening within the organisation: engagement, well-being, leadership and culture.
What methods does an assessment centre use?
A good assessment combines multiple perspectives, tailored to the function and the question. Commonly used methods are:
✓Structured interviews about experience, behaviour, and motivation
✓Personality, motives and values questionnaires
✓Practical simulations and role-playing games that simulate the real job
✓Capacity tests, where relevant for the function
What does an assessment yield?
An assessment not only provides an opinion, but above all provides insight. Organisations make better decisions based on it, and candidates and employees receive a fair assessment of their strengths and growth opportunities. These insights often serve as the starting point for targeted coaching or a development programme.

Tailor-made
We compile the assessment based on the function and your question.
Values and culture
We also look at the fit with your organisation, not just at competencies.
From insight to growth
