Assessment Centres

Waitemata DHB can run specific Assessment Centres for your bulk recruitment. We have run these over the past 2 years for Registered Nurses, Healthcare Assistants, Sterile Supply Technicians, Anaesthetic Technicians and Mental Health New graduate Nurses.

WHY ASSESSMENT CENTRES?

Assessment centres bring objectivity to the selection process. Using a multi-dimensional approach, they allow for a greater range of knowledge, skills and abilities to be tested. The key is firstly to identify precise factors leading to current job success - known as 'competencies' - and secondly, to test and measure candidates for these competencies.

Assessment centres regularly employ numerous techniques to judge the candidate's 'fit' to the job role and organisational culture. These include:

• Competency-based interviewing
• Written exercises
• Role-plays and fact finds
• Group problem solving exercises
• Values Based Scenarios
• Situational judgement tests

Another advantage of a multi-dimensional approach is that candidates are not judged by one person, but a number of assessors, thus making the decision process more open and objective.

Each Assessment Centre will be tailored to your needs.

WHEN WOULD YOU RUN AN ASSESSMENT CENTRE?

If you need to recruit more than 12 candidates at once and have the resources to assess up to 25 applicants at once.
