VERNETTI CREATIVE’S APPROACH TO HUMAN RESOURCE ASSESSMENT CENTERS

1.) Determine the Competency

What is the competency? The name given to ‘any combination of skills, knowledge, attitude or underlying motivation which can be applied in a way which delivers effective or superior performance on the job’

2.) ORCE Methodology

When recruiting Vernetti Creative follows the ORCE methodology when recruiting (a best practice followed by British Airways):

Grading according to ORCE:

O for observation

R for record

C for classify

E for evaluate

3.) The Advantages of the ORCE methodology

Interview questions relate directly to the skills needed for the role

Candidate’s responses are based on actual experiences and behaviors, meaning the information collected is highly relevant

CBIS (competency based interviews) follow a systematic process which can be repeated by multiple interviewers

4) Evaluation

Responses are then recorded and graded against a rating scale.

An example of a typical rating scale :

3: Exceeds required standards

2: Meets required standards

1: does not meet required standards

5) Tips how to proceed

  • Rate each competency
  • Look at the balance of positive and negative evidence before assigning an overall rating for each competency
  • Analyze word by word individually
