Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An assessment center would be the best selection device for choosing the best applicant for promotion to a new manager. An assessment center is a selection process that uses multiple evaluation methods, such as job simulations, interviews, and role-playing exercises, to assess candidates' abilities and suitability for a particular position. This approach provides more comprehensive information about the candidate's strengths and weaknesses than any single evaluation method, making it a more accurate predictor of future job performance.
