Assessment Centre
An Assessment Centre (AC) is a platform for evaluating an individual’s suitability for specific job roles. It includes several exercises like aptitude tests, personality evaluations, case studies, simulations and interviews. As an exercise (AC) helps organizations better predict candidate performance and potential for a proposed position. While a traditional, in-person AC involves in-person discussions and group exercises for which candidates are invited to a specific venue, a virtual AC is used to host such activities digital platforms supporting remote evaluations. When both modes, which is the in-person and virtual is mixed, the result is a blended AC.
