What is Talent Assessment?

Talent assessment is the structured, evidence-based process of evaluating candidates and employees against the skills, behaviours and characteristics needed for success in a role. It uses validated methods such as psychometric testing, cognitive ability tests, structured interviews, work-sample tasks and assessment centres to predict performance more accurately than CV and interview alone. Talent assessment is used both in recruitment and for internal development.
