This tool is increasingly used by companies and human resources departments as part of the recruitment process.

Situational Assessments

Situational Assessments are interactive assessments designed to reproduce real-life work scenarios and tasks that candidates would encounter in the course of their work. Candidates are faced with situations that require them to perform job-related tasks, solve problems, make decisions and demonstrate their skills. The aim of situational assessments is to :

• ensure that HR teams can determine whether a candidate has the necessary skills to thrive in the position.
• give potential employees a realistic overview of the position so they can decide whether it meets their needs.

Types of simulations

• Virtual testing: candidates carry out tasks in a virtual working environment.
• In-Basket: candidates complete a series of tasks, prioritizing them as they would on the job.
• Simulation-scenarios: candidates respond to hypothetical scenarios related to the position to be filled.
• Role-playing: candidates interact with virtual characters in a variety of work-related situations.
