According to I.O.D., assessing applicants is a rigorous and personalized process that can be adapted to any type of job and any level of hierarchy, from operator to director. Our goal is to

• Enable employers to quickly attract the best talent and outperform the competition.
• Ensure a respectful and fair assessment process for candidates.

IOD Fundamentals

Structured IOD Core Reference Framework

Our approach is based on the IOD Core Competency Framework, which is distinguished by its ability to

• Adapt to a wide range of positions and hierarchical levels.
• Be culturally sensitive, including French and English versions.
• Cover cross-cutting and transferable skills, relying on AI tools to create custom skill sets when needed.

Highly structured assessment process

Our assessment methodology includes

• Structured behavioral interviews using standardized questions.
• A standardized rating grid to assess the level of skill mastery.
• An interview methodology that highlights support and vigilance points, among others, leading to recommendations for the candidate's adaptation to the target position.

This approach guarantees

• Consistent results, regardless of the consultant.
• A positive perception by the candidate thanks to transparency and constructive feedback.

Tools and approach

Choice of tests

To avoid a proliferation of tests, we focus on

• The Practical Judgment Test (TJP) for intellectual agility.
• The HEXACO PI-R to assess personality and integrity.

Should specific needs arise, we have access to a large number of scientifically validated tests from major publishers, in French and English.

Focus on transversal skills

We focus on assessing transversal skills because they are

• Are key to individual and collective performance.
• Determine a candidate's ability to adapt and evolve.
• Are the best predictor of success in the job.
