Executive and Candidate Assessment
Through robust evaluation we can assess your executive team or future candidates to get the results you want.Leadership requires ongoing feedback to continuously improve performance. Additionally, putting the right people in the right positions at the right time will save your company time and money. Assessment tools put to practical use in hiring, promotion, succession planning and coaching, enable precision in managing these decisions and can identify rapidly developing leadership potential. Lacking in-depth information when evaluating internal or external candidates is costly in the long run.
Executive Assessment
Executives utilize assessments to get a clear picture of how they are perceived and/or to drill down to identify areas for growth. Evaluation instruments provide feedback on real-world perceptions at a level of detail that is difficult to obtain from subordinates or peers by other means. Additionally, assessments help individuals gain substantive insight into how to up their game.
We provide multiple methods for in-depth executive assessments. Our most valued approach is a Deep Analysis 360° evaluation which involves extensive interviews, contextual analysis, and a consolidated report which reflects objective and definitive feedback. The debriefing includes recommendations for a robust development plan which provides practical directions for implementation in the real world environment.
In most cases, we conduct this assessment in the context of an executive coaching engagement. In addition to this process, we offer other types of assessments such as the Hogan, Leadership CPI, Emotional Intelligence, Watson Glaser Critical Thinking, etc. Psychologists have comprehensive scientific training in assessment; as a result, DM Consulting has access to the most current, cutting-edge and relevant assessments available today..
Candidate Assessment and Succession Planning
Whether you are evaluating a management team for your portfolio, external candidates for selection, or internal candidates for promotion, well-researched and scientifically-validated assessments will reveal candidate assets and challenges that do not surface in interviews alone.
Before conducting assessments, we delve into the required job knowledge, attitudes and skills, plus the corporate culture critical to success in the position and in the organization. From there, we select an appropriate battery of evaluation instruments which gauges areas such as critical thinking, leadership competencies, personality style, and emotional intelligence.
As with executive assessments, candidate debriefing includes substantive recommendations for development plans, which provide concrete guidance for real-world application.
