Missions in this Learning Path
If we are to step up in our role as Talent Advisors, we need to have a broad and deep understanding of candidate assessment, just like other HR professionals. This mission by Nick Johnston, provides an overview of assessment, the tools you can use and advice on how to design and operate effective assessment processes.
