Benefits for candidates
Why is the Programme Recruitment evaluation valuable for individuals?
Everyone is keen to learn and develop their skills to become the best that they can be. When you’re developing as a Project Management Professional it’s important that you gain an understanding of your capabilities so you know what development, coaching or training you need to increase your effectiveness.
Assessing yourself is very difficult, especially if you haven’t had any feedback on your progress or if you have nobody else in the organisation to benchmark yourself against. Even if you work for an enlightened company who concentrate on developing skills how do you know that their view of a good project manager matches external standards?
The Programme Recruitment evaluation is a simple, tested and effective way of assessing your own strengths & weaknesses giving you the opportunity to define your own plan for developing as an effective Project Professional. It’s been built to assess your knowledge against the Body of Knowledge and Technical Competencies Framework published by the Association for Project Management.
Other individuals have found that the evaluation:
- Allows them to quickly compare their current knowledge & skills against a respected & accepted standard
- Provides them with immediate feedback comparing their evaluation against typical profiles for project management professionals including Programme Managers, Senior Project Managers and Project Managers
- Indicates the areas that they need to concentrate on to develop their careers moving forward to their chosen goals
- Can be used to demonstrate to prospective employers their project management profile and capabilities
Programme Recruitment, along with a number of our clients, use the evaluation to pre-assess candidates for positions in a wide range of different industries and business environments. By understanding your current capabilities you can identify your own specific strengths & weaknesses and target your development time in those areas that need it most – increasing your attractiveness to employers when you look for your next career move.
You can be sure that all of your details are kept confidential as are the results of your assessment. We will only disclose results to organisations or other individuals with your specific permission so taking the evaluation is simple, safe and risk free.
