Assessing candidates for different roles of varying qualification levels

As part of the company’s recruitment and internal mobility process, it was necessary for Kamoto Copper Company to be able to measure their candidates’ and employees’personalities, motivations, managerial skills, and work ethic. Assessing all these different aspects means providing a comprehensive, thorough, overall view of the individuals capabilities. In addition, the assessment process must consider the various qualification levels across the different roles being recruited for (entry level, senior engineers, and management levels), to ensure that each participant is assessed in an appropriate manner, and the best candidate is selected for each role.

Kamoto Copper Company wanted to develop their testing practices by implementing a more secure and effective approach. Psychometric assessments had always been administered in paper format which raised numerous issues; excessive resource allocation to manual marking, risks of cheating, assessor objectivity, confidentiality, amongst others. Consistency in assessment practices and results was a major issue in optimising their HR processes.

Kamoto Copper Company called on Central Test to respond to a number of their internal challenges; analysing multiple dimensions including personality and motivation, adapting to different qualification levels, and the security of the assessments.
