Abstract

assessment centers are "a variety of testing techniques designed to allow candidates to demonstrate, under standardized conditions, the skills and abilities that are most essential for success in a given job ".assessment centers refers to an approach rather than a physical place, and consist of some or all of a variety of exercises like job-related simulations, interviews, in-basket exercises, group discussions, personality tests, management tests and other exercises, aimed at finding the competence of a candidate. The selection of specific techniques would depend on the competencies that require evaluation.The purpose behind establishing assessment centers is to predict the candidate's traits and skills that would determine their future job performance, through their performance in a set of tasks similar to the job under evaluation. assessment centers facilitate observation and measurement of behavior, quite distinct from many traditional selection approaches where the selector infers personal characteristics based upon subjective judgments and usually precious little evidence except a freewheeling social interaction.
