The Skills Assessment
Method
To conduct a thorough and personalized professional assessment, we work closely with the candidate to explore their full range of skills and aspirations. Our approach includes:
​
-
Analyzing existing skills, including those often underestimated or overlooked
​
-
Identifying transferable skills to consider new roles or industries
​
-
Clarifying the aspects the candidate wishes to maintain or develop in their career
​
-
Utilizing personality and motivation tests (such as MBTI, IRMR, and the Holland test) to provide career indicators and help prioritize professional paths to explore
Skills Assessment Process
The professional assessment is conducted over a maximum of 24 hours, divided into several phases.
Preliminary Phase
During an initial interview, we define the candidate's goals and expectations. A personalized program of 6 to 8 sessions is set up, with one or two sessions per week.
Investigation Phase
The candidate explores and refines their new professional project with the help of their consultant and tools such as online personality and motivation tests, all within complete confidentiality.
​
Together with their consultant, the candidate develops 2 to 3 potential development paths to be validated against the job market. An analysis will then be carried out, involving industry professionals, to review available positions, necessary training, and the feasibility of each project.
​
The candidate is encouraged to meet with professionals from the industry, allowing them to build a network and test their ideas against the realities of the profession.
Conclusion Phase
At the end of the assessment, the candidate receives a summary document of the discussions from their skills assessment, which will serve as a reference for the months following the assessment.
​
​
At Saphir RH, a follow-up session is offered 6 months after the delivery of the assessment to review progress and the achievement of the project.
