HRD TEST Team of
Psychologists to create Competency
Profiles for your organisation.
We will provide you with a report
that will provide you a distinct
outline of which competencies are
necessary to fulfill a job well.
The primary objective is to determine
those few competencies that are
the key to success. This ensures
that you select the right people
with the right competencies and
make no selection errors or ill-suited
career decisions!
This
distinct outlining of competencies
is the domain of a specialist and
HRD TEST has a
team that provides you this specialisation.
HRD
TEST can also get various
online and off-line Tests, instruments,
instructions, and manuals that can
be used when implementing competency
management and when creating competency
profiles.
In
case you should consider getting
a Competency Mapping to be done
by our psychologists for the any
position our team of psychologists
are available to observe the people
working in those designations in
their work environment and based
on observations create a report
for you. The report will advise
the skills, knowledge and abilities
required for each designation in
each section.
The observation and report will
be to decide which skills and abilities
and abilities are a must for that
designation and will further help
to develop a test that you may use
as your first step of selection
in your organisation.
The competency profiling will map
the job for its Skills, Abilities,
Knowledge, Activities, Interests
and Values. An example of each is
provided below.
