Objective Assessment and Development in a Tailor-Made Enviroment

The provision of assessment, development, simulations and business scenarios in a purpose designed, professional and controlled environment - this is the concept of the new SHL London Assessment Centre. Located in central London, it provides an environment where every element is controlled to make the most of the candidate experience.

This new SHL facility has been opened at a time when organisations, are increasingly relying on objective assessment to make sure that they engage people with their organisations in the most effective way. Skills shortages or leadership capability issues aren’t new to the majority of UK organisations, which report increasing difficulties getting the right people in the right place at the right time to drive their organisations success. However, for many, the logistics and sensitivities around organising assessment and development for key candidates make it difficult to undertake them ’in-house’. The London Assessment Centre offers a high-quality environment commensurate with the importance of making well informed and business critical decisions.

Mike Tims, SHL Head of Assessment Services comments: The SHL London Assessment Centre provides an ideal environment for assessment and development of people at all levels in the organisation. We believe that in certain circumstances, individuals need to be taken out of the day-to-day workplace and that the use of a dedicated, neutral facility improves the experience for both candidate and organisation. Clients do not have to worry about finding rooms, preventing interruptions and controlling gossip, whilst candidates are assured of the attention of staff and an understanding of their situation - things often lacking in general purpose facilities. With our own dedicated facility, not only can SHL manage all aspects of the environment - down to the smallest detail, but we can also provide a specialist venue that creates an excellent impression on the candidate.

The new SHL London Assessment Centre is located in Essex Street, in a quiet area in the heart of London. The facilities include 5 consulting rooms, as well as an administration office plus hot desk facilities.
