Situational Judgement Tests
|
|
This month Getfeedback are pleased to announce the launch of Pearson’s new range of Situational Judgement Tests (SJTs) online. These represent cost effective volume screening tools which do not require BPS accreditation to interpret. They contain highly realistic tasks, scenarios and situations that are similar to those likely to be encountered in the role and aim to measure the way an individual is likely to react to typical situations. Candidates are asked to rate the appropriateness of possible responses in relevant work based scenarios and are a cost effective bulk recruitment solution targeted at graduates, junior managers, customer service, call centre and administrative staff.
Different versions of the tests are available, please take a look at our Website, contact the Getfeedback sales team or call 01491 845536 to find out more or if you wish to sample one of them.

Strategic Thinking for Managers
|
|
Our New Strategic Thinking Course has been developed specifically to help leaders and managers think creatively about problem solving strategic issues. This two day course firstly provides delegates with the tools and techniques to analyse situations, form solutions and weigh up options, and secondly gives them the opportunity to practice the skills on a real life issue. This course is highly practical in nature; delegates are invited to bring along a case study which they work on during the course allowing them to try out the strategic thinking process and practice the skills whilst they come up with a practicable solution at the same time.
To find out more about this course click here or to find our about our full range of soft skills courses click here.
