Making Work-Based Assessments Work
A practice and research-based guide to design work-based assessments
A work-based assessment is a selection tool where candidates demonstrate their skills, knowledge and competencies through real-life tasks or simulations, such as role-playing, presentations, case studies or coding tests. Research in industrial-organizational psychology shows that work-based assessments are among the strongest predictors of future job performance.
We have collated both the research and our experience into clear design principles that help you to create work-based assessments that are highly-predictive and fair to candidates.
