Enhancing Talent Assessment for a Public Sector Entity.

Our client

We engaged with a notable government organisation located in Melbourne. Operating at a developed evolutionary level, they had an established and functional talent assessment process. However, they aimed to further optimise their approach to talent assessment, taking it from Level 2 (Developed) to Level 3 (Optimised).

*Levels 2 & 3 refer to our assessment which ascertains their talent function’s current state and build a pathway toward the organisation’s desired future state. Download your complimentary diagnostic of our Talent Evolution Framework. 

Solution

The solution proposed was our Talent Acquisition as a Service (TAaaS), facilitated by an embedded Talent Acquisition Specialist for a full year. Our specialist worked intimately with their internal team, examining their existing talent assessment process in detail.

We introduced an innovative talent assessment approach, implementing psychometric testing and behavioural interviewing techniques to comprehensively understand candidate suitability beyond their skills and experience. Simultaneously, we enhanced their digital capabilities to streamline the process and make it more accessible.

Outcomes

The transformation of their talent assessment strategy resulted in more informed and accurate hiring decisions. It enabled a deeper understanding of candidates' potential beyond their credentials, leading to a better fit with the organisation's culture and future needs.

The digital enhancements also significantly improved the process's speed and efficiency, resulting in a shorter time-to-hire without compromising the quality of assessments. Ultimately, the shift to Level 3 (Optimised) was accomplished, creating a new benchmark for talent assessment within the organisation.
