Report what was observed. Nothing more.

Talent Assessment does not produce a single overall talent score. Evidence is reported by dimension, weighted by the relevance the employer assigned to the actual role.

Ten Talent Evidence dimensions

Capability

Demonstrated ability to perform the work the role actually requires.

Job Knowledge

Applied knowledge of the domain, tools and standards of the role.

Problem Solving & Analysis

How a person frames a problem, reasons through it and reaches a defensible answer.

Judgment & Decision-Making

Quality of decisions under real constraints, including what they choose not to do.

Efficiency™

How effectively time and resources are used while quality and completeness hold. Efficiency is not speed.

Quality & Attention to Detail

Accuracy, completeness and care in finished work.

Communication

Clarity, accuracy and appropriateness of written and spoken communication.

Adaptability & Learning

How new information, correction and changed conditions are absorbed and applied.

Collaboration & Interpersonal Effectiveness

Working effectively with others toward a shared outcome.

Reliability & Work Execution

Follow-through, organization and dependable completion of committed work.

Role Relevance Weighting™

Before candidates are invited, the employer classifies each dimension against the actual role. The classification is recorded with the assessment and shown alongside every result.

  • Critical
  • Important
  • Relevant
  • Not Material

Evidence Confidence™

Strong Evidence
Multiple consistent, job-relevant observations support this dimension.
Supporting Evidence
Observed and consistent, with a narrower evidence base.
Limited Evidence
Some evidence was gathered, but not enough to draw a firm conclusion. Limited is not poor.
Conflicting Evidence
Observations point in different directions and require human review.
Not Assessed
This dimension was not assessed. Not Assessed is not a failure.

Assessment Consistency Lock™

Assessment Consistency Lock™ holds the assessment rules, method mix and role relevance weighting in place once candidates are invited, so similarly situated candidates are assessed under the same governed conditions.

Comparison Guard™

Comparison Guard™ prevents comparison of candidates who were not assessed under equivalent governed conditions, and labels any comparison that is not directly equivalent.
