Assessments & Testing

Career Directions uses a variety of testing processes to match the right people with the right jobs and careers. The selection of assessments is tailored both to the individual and to the needs of the organization. Assessments and testing are vital components of our coaching and development and career transitions offerings, in addition to being available as standalone services for organizations in need.

As an adjunct service to our assessment and testing services, we offer competency modeling and competency templates for both management positions and specific professions. Career Directions provides assessments and testing to support:

• Hiring and promotion by providing a professional evaluation that enables you to select the best-fit candidates for critical positions.

• Succession planning by developing unique combinations of assessments and tests that help you identify the best candidates for every tier of management in your organization.

• Career strategies by selecting assessments and tests that evaluate an existing career path for personal fit, and reveal alternate career paths, where applicable, for consideration. We also help evaluate present job fit at the request of the organization or the individual employee.

• Assessment centers that are uniquely defined and staffed to support the unbiased selection of new employees or candidates vying for hiring and promotion in an organization.

Assessment and testing instruments we provide include “standard” assessments as well as cutting-edge assessments designed to meet today’s unique organizational challenges. We have also developed our own assessment instruments, such as the Emotional Intelligence Assessment Wheel, the Leadership Competency Assessment Wheel, and the ”Developing Others” Assessment Wheel.
