Helping candidates to understand the job – Realistic Job Previews
What does this assessment measure?
Realistic Job Previews (RJPs) assess the suitability of potential job applicants for an organisation or industry by providing an insight into the specific role, company or sector. The potential applicant learns about the day-to-day challenges and tasks of the role and discovers the strength of fit between the job and him or herself.
What is the task?
The potential applicant is presented with typical on-the-job scenarios and asked: What would you do in this situation? Feedback is provided immediately, and tailored to the responses given by the individual.
