Ep 452: Assessment Innovation 2022
I'm finally back in Scotland after a summer of much travelling, so normal service is now resumed, and the podcast is back into its regular rhythm of two new shows a week.\n\nAssessment and selection continue to be an area of debate, investment and technological innovation. So what has been happening in the space over the last 12 months, and more importantly, what is working?\n\nIt is my great pleasure to welcome Netherlands-based consultant\xa0Bas van de Haterd\xa0back to the show as my guest this week. Bas has been on the podcast a few times discussing new thinking in assessment and runs an awards program for innovation in assessment. His 2022 awards have just been judged, and he joins us to update us on what is working and discuss the different approaches the shortlisted organisations have taken.\n\nIn the interview, we discuss:\n\nThe current state of the market\n\nInnovation in assessment and selection\n\nIncreasing diversity by selecting on quality\n\nEngagement, motivation and stress resilience\n\nCynicism and the importance of results and ROI\n\nOpen hiring - innovating by having no assessment\n\nNeuroscience and brain-based assessment\n\nReducing attrition\n\nSkills versus experience\n\nThe importance of using the right tools\n\nHow will assessment techniques and technologies develop in the future?\n\nListen to this podcast on Apple Podcasts.
