Assessment
Executive assessment and placement are complex processes requiring broad know-how, which is honed by experience. The process requires an in-depth understanding of the competitive arena in which the organization operates and the unique challenges it faces, particularly in today’s rapidly changing environment, characterized by VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity). It also necessitates comprehension of the client’s business needs and organizational culture, as well as a high level of professionalism and skill in the implementation of the most advanced assessment tools, as appropriate in each specific case.
When collaborating with organizations in defining the core competencies required of suitable candidates for diverse positions, and conducting assessments aimed at achieving the perfect fit, Career Clinic implements a comprehensive approach.
The first step focuses on identifying each candidate’s motivators, the environment in which they are most likely to fully express their competencies, and their interpersonal style. In the assessment of the required professional competencies, Career Clinic bears in mind that know-how and experience in a specific position (for example, VP Marketing & Sales) in one industry does not necessarily predict success in the same position in another industry. Tal Fine’s familiarity with numerous professional domains and industries, acquired over many years of consulting to a large number of clients in the international market, enable her to quickly identify the qualifications required for the specific position in the specific industry, and pinpoint the most suitable candidate.
Beyond the professional qualifications, the personal qualities that Career Clinic will look for in assessed individuals, as relevant for each position, include strategic thinking, interpersonal relations, ability to inspire and mobilize others, agility, inquisitiveness, creativity, determination, desire and ability to learn, loyalty and integrity, among others.
Furthermore, Career Clinic’s assessments are based on the recognition that the organization’s interests are best served when the executives it recruits are inspired by its vision, identify with its mission and blend into its corporate culture; these are the ones who will passionately invest their efforts and step forward to advance the organization’s interests and achieve its goals.
As part of the process, Career Clinic implements assessment tools that have been extensively tried and tested in the occupational assessment field worldwide. All the tools are directly linked to the world of business, are culture-sensitive, and many can be performed online. Specific tools are selected for each assessment based on relevancy to the particular case.
The caring and supporting assessment approach adopted by Career Clinic, and the use of tools that candidates do not perceive as invasive, encourage them to open up and freely share information that contributes to precise assessment results.
