Recruitment and Selection
The effectiveness of an employee in a given role starts with a well designed recruitment and selection strategy that focuses on competency and motivational fit. From strategically aligned role analysis and design, competency profiling to targeted selection, when human capital is recognized as a strategic factor in organizational success, ODR assists in leveraging talent by providing services that ensure the right employee is placed at the right moment and in the right place. From end to end of the employment life cycle, we assist to clearly define and assess the crucial competencies and motivations employees require currently and into the future. We support line managers and human resource staff with tools, techniques and resources for making accurate and objective selection decision to build a talented workforce.
Assessment and Development Centres
A process not a place, assessment and development centres use the same techniques to measure and observe behaviour and determine current performance and potential. The development centre approach targets the identification of development opportunities for internal staff and a selection approach evaluates the suitability of an external applicant. Both measure and evaluate employee behaviours, personal and interpersonal qualities, development potential and relevant leadership abilities. Either as an integral component of recruitment or targeted employee development, ODR design the most appropriate approach to align with specific client requirements.
Our approach is highly experiential so that the candidate or participant is provided the opportunity to exhibit the targeted behaviour or not. Deficits in performance are identified and to prevent costly selection decisions or provide detailed development strategies.
Our services include;
- Individual assessments for selection or development purposes
- Leadership and career development programs
- Individual coaching and mentoring
- Team relations and interpersonal skills assessment and/or development
- Team building and conflict management
