Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Assessment centers are typically the best selection device for identifying high-potential individuals for management positions. Assessment centers assess job candidates on a variety of simulated job-related tasks and provide a comprehensive evaluation of their abilities. This makes it easier to identify the most qualified candidates for the position. Interviews may be used as a supplement to the assessment center, but by themselves, they are not typically as effective in identifying high-potential individuals. Employment tests and job application forms can also provide useful information but are generally less effective than other selection devices for identifying high-potential management candidates.
