SHL chosen to aid selection of European Union Officials

SHL is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a contract by the European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO) to develop a leading edge suite of assessment tools in support of recruitment and selection of staff to the European Union.

EPSO's core mission is to provide a professional staff selection service on behalf of the European Union Institutions. EPSO has been a leading organisation in the deployment of online testing to ensure that the talent recruited to the EU meets its needs, and SHL is now pleased to offer EPSO the capability of extending its assessments to cover behaviours essential to the EU's mission at a critical time in the EU's development.

These new behavioural assessments draw on SHL's international experience of delivering valid and credible assessment solutions to clients worldwide, and this project will not only support EPSO in meeting its own client needs but will also represent a significant step in the application of psychometric science in delivering an assessment solution in a multi-language and pan geographical context.

John Bateson, CEO of SHL, says: This is a demanding but exciting project that draws on the expertise of our product designers and psychometricians. It represents probably the largest project of its kind to date to an organisation that recognises the need and value of objective assessment tools in ensuring that the talent organisations recruit is the talent that organisations need. We look forward to working with EPSO and supporting them in this important mission.
