Over 70% of employers continue to use assessment centres as part of their recruitment process. Drawing on data from over 2,700 assessment centres from over 100 employers, we explore what formats, exercises, skills and competencies are used within this.
We also look at how students typically perform in these areas, and how best to support them.
Our latest piece is a look into the next generation, their thoughts about their futures, and how they’re engaging with employability support, with direct quotes and insights from over 1,000 UK students and graduates.
We noticed a rise in clients coming to us who had been struggling with keeping students engaged when it comes to employability and careers events.
The recent AGCAS report evaluated the effectiveness of employer engagement, and so we reached out to students & graduates to help discover a solution.
Having launched the 1st annual temperature check in 2022, we were always excited to survey students and graduates this year to understand the changes and consistencies in the opinions and experiences year on year.
With a number of societal shifts impacting students e.g. the pandemic, the rising cost of living, and changes to the world of work, we look at ways for employers to better understand the thoughts and feelings of the current University cohort.
We set out on this research project because there’s a question that’s been bugging us these last couple of years and we really wanted to get to the bottom of it.
The question was: do candidates prefer attending assessment centres and interviews virtually or in-person?
