A standardized approach and scientifically validated tools for high-quality results
A rigorous method and flexible organization
The assessment center uses a variety of scientifically validated tools to evaluate the gap between the behavioral skills expected for a given position and those demonstrated by a candidate. In fact, combining several selection tools has better predictive validity than using the tools separately (Robertson & Smith, 2001).
Novelia implements a tailor-made program based on the specific needs of the client. Each assessment mandate is unique and requires specific analysis and preparation. Our exercises are designed to be as representative as possible of the future reality of the role.
Novelia builds its assessments on the basis of a set of key competencies linked to market needs and at the cutting edge of behavioral science research. We assess the skills that will be most sought after in the companies of tomorrow.
