Future competency profiling: validating and redesigning the ICL graduate assessment centre

Abstract

Describes a three‐phase study to validate and redesign the graduate assessment centres used by ICL. Analyses results by multimethod multitrait correlation matrix and intercorrelating ratings of dimensions both across and within exercises. Factor analyses correlation matrices by the principal components method. Evaluates differences between the hired and rejected groups by discriminant function analysis. Assesses the predictive validity by multiple regression analysis on the performance ratings and salary information. Discusses the redesign of the recruitment procedure to select for future competences as well as present day requirements.
