Assessment
H2R Consulting uses the most rigorous assessment tests on the market from a variety of test publishers. Depending on the critical competencies that need to be assessed for each role, the appropriate battery of assessment exercises is selected.
We have a range of difficulty levels for ability tests to ensure job relevant measures for a great diversity of positions. We utilise best-practice assessment processes during selection, development and when providing career assistance.
Using the Right Assessment Tests
Meaninful and valuable information can only be gained from assessment testing when appropriate tests and comparison groups are used. We take the time to understand our client’s need to ensure that the most appropriate tests are chosen. Because we are not tied to one test provider, we are able to offer a wide range of assessments from different test publishers. When an off-the-shelf product is not available to fit a certain situation, we have developed our own in-house solutions to meet our client’s particular needs.
Quality and Timeliness
- All our assessment processes include narrative reports written by a psychologist, which are tied to the key competencies of the job (i.e. not computer generated).
- The turnaround time for reports is 24 hours from test administration. Urgent verbal feedback is available within 6 hours if required.
- Our feedback sessions with clients and candidates are an integral part of the assessment process. They add value and understanding for all parties involved in the process).
National and Online Capability
We have the capability to administer assessment tests in most New Zealand cities through our partnership with preferred testing agencies. We also use break-through psychometrics to conduct our online unsupervised testing, which protects against security and cheating risks.
Work Sample Exercises
H2R Consulting has developed a number of practical work sample exercises, which we utilise in assessment and development centres. Alternatively, we work with clients to develop customised work sample exercises specifically tailored to the requirements of the role and organisation. Our case studies have been received favourably as an additional component to an assessment process as they draw on practical knowledge and job-related skills. They simulate the goals and objectives of the position and can focus on assessing specific competencies such as strategic thinking and planning, understanding of political and contextual issues, and judgement.
Computer Skills Assessments
We have available more than 100 different types of online computer-based skills tests for call centre, finance, legal, medical, industrial and clerical roles. We offer a comprehensive range of software applications to provide an accurate gauge of a person's computer skills and their areas for development.
