SHL, global providers of workplace assessment solutions, has confirmed participation in the Onrec 2007 Expo, September 18-19, in San Francisco, to support its growing demand for integrated assessment solutions. All visitors to the SHL booth #121 qualify for a free trial assessment of their choice.
As talent management solutions continue to advance, leading companies are rapidly adopting methods to identify untapped potential in their talent strategies. Many organizations are looking to integrated assessments to provide effective measures of talent potential, enabling them to make more informed hiring and deployment decisions, increase productivity and improve retention. This growing demand for integrated solutions is demonstrated by SHLís expanding base of solutions with over 30 established system providers, from front-end screening tools to more in-depth behavioral assessments at later stages in the hiring process, across volume and specialist hires and all industry sectors.
The ability to screen out 30-40% of candidates at the first stage in the recruitment process based on person-job fit was embraced by many early adopters of online recruitment. Today, many thought leaders expect more than process efficiencies and understand that quality of hire has become a crucial component of a solid talent management foundation. This need drives the integration of in-depth, accurate assessments to measure and identify talent throughout the recruiting and development process.
ìWe see substantially increased demand for our assessments as part of integrated solutions on a global basis,î explains Nels Wroe, Commercial Operations Manager. ìOnrecís Expo provides an ideal venue for recruitment and talent management system providers to learn more about the value that assessments will provide to their clients. Most of the leaders in talent management and recruitment systems will be at Onrec, making this an ideal opportunity to expand our partnerships.î
So, how do assessments get added to the mix? Technology is the backbone of all effective strategic talent management systems ñ it is expected to deliver a seamless and scalable user experience and dashboard reporting for line managers through to the Board to enable deep workforce insight. SHL content is built into new or existing recruiting systems to allow clients to fully leverage the value of smart ìtalent qualityî measures as part of their process.
Specifically, SHL tools such as the Universal Competency Framework, Occupational Personality Questionnaire and Motivation Questionnaire unlock the latent power in talent management.
The SHL Universal Competency Framework provides the common language to describe and measure people and jobs, making it easier to link talent management strategies directly to organizational objectives. The SHL Occupational Personality Questionnaire and Motivation Questionnaire provide insights into candidate and employee potential and work styles that are invaluable throughout the employee lifecycle, from acquisition to succession planning, performance management and the execution of talent strategy at all levels.
ìCompanies are just now beginning to understand the crucial role assessment and measurement tools will play for the future success of talent management strategies,î Wroe explains. ìPeople who want to experience the power of assessments are invited to visit the SHL Booth at Onrec to try one out for free. For most, itís eye-opening to experience the insights and accuracy that top quality assessments can provide in assessing talent. Itís a great example of why many experts are predicting that the next phase of talent management will be based on the capabilities of measuring and assessing talent quality.î
