An Introduction…
• My thoughts based on experience • I’m not an Occupational Psychologist• There is not a ‘one size fits all’ solution• I’m looking to inspire thinking
![Page 35: Making the right assessment - TARGETjobs Breakfast News - Sept 14](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110114/545c3455b0af9fae2c8b470f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Do you understand what you are trying to measure?
![Page 36: Making the right assessment - TARGETjobs Breakfast News - Sept 14](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110114/545c3455b0af9fae2c8b470f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Only ask a question if you’re going to do something useful with the answer!
![Page 39: Making the right assessment - TARGETjobs Breakfast News - Sept 14](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110114/545c3455b0af9fae2c8b470f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
What are you trying to measure?
• Experience?
• Communication?
• Ability to think when under pressure?
![Page 40: Making the right assessment - TARGETjobs Breakfast News - Sept 14](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110114/545c3455b0af9fae2c8b470f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
We live in a completely connected society. Graduates can and will cheat the system.

How much is your assessment process worth?
![Page 42: Making the right assessment - TARGETjobs Breakfast News - Sept 14](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110114/545c3455b0af9fae2c8b470f/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Entrepreneurial spirit; that something extra…
What in your process delivers on these?

Very few people are born geniuses – most of us have to work hard and learn from the right people; people who inspire us. As we grow in experience, we grow in confidence.
![Page 44: Making the right assessment - TARGETjobs Breakfast News - Sept 14](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110114/545c3455b0af9fae2c8b470f/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Have we become completely unreasonable about what a 21/22 year old could have achieved?
![Page 45: Making the right assessment - TARGETjobs Breakfast News - Sept 14](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110114/545c3455b0af9fae2c8b470f/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Recruit for attitude, train for skills
Why do so few of us do it?
![Page 46: Making the right assessment - TARGETjobs Breakfast News - Sept 14](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110114/545c3455b0af9fae2c8b470f/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Motivation is divided into four categories: the drive to…
• Acquire
• Bond
• Learn
• Defend
![Page 47: Making the right assessment - TARGETjobs Breakfast News - Sept 14](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110114/545c3455b0af9fae2c8b470f/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
The authors described these drives as “distinct and ubiquitous” and said that all individuals actively attempt to fulfil them.
They believe in essence that these four categories drive how we behave at work.

It’s different for everyone
What you see as a strength, others may see as a weakness.
