We at BPM are experts in identifying, evaluating and developing the talent in organisations.

We know that the driving force behind any enterprise is its staff. That’s why, for over 20 years, we’ve been providing our Talent Search and HR Consultancy services, whether the company wishes to recruit a high level professional or it wants to set up a task force with staff culled from within the organisation.

Talent is a guarantee of success and BPM helps find it.

BPM Assessment Centre

The Assessment Centre is a multipersonal evaluation method, whose aim is to assess their potential by means of observation and other advanced techniques in different situations and under varying conditions.

Nowadays, the AC is the most reliable evaluation and potential development tool

Our Assessment Centre uses our proprietary evaluation methodology involving the most advanced techniques for the identification, evaluation and development of the company’s potential in human resources

Dual benefit (for both company and employee)

The company identifies and evaluates employees’ potential, experience and current skills as well as their future training

Employees get an objective assessment of their skills, abilities and limitations, and the chance to further their own training

BPM Assessment Centre

The applicability of the Assessment Centre is wide and varied:

Management Successor schemes

By using a carefully planned scheme, the Assessment Centre (AC) performs a diagnosis of the candidates to succession, identifying areas for improvement and current strengths and, on the basis of the result of the AC, establishes a specific training plan in order to guarantee success in covering the post.

Promotion to Managerial Posts of Responsibility

Using our proprietary tests and methodology, we identify the ideal candidate for performing management functions of a greater responsibility than hitherto, from among a certain group of employees.

BPM Assessment Centre

Micro / macro organisational decision-making (reorganisations, mergers, take-overs)

Based on the results of our Assessment Centre, we offer companies an “independent external opinion” to assess the best option for changing/reorienting a new organisational structure. The object of the exercise is to provide objective, external support for organisational decisions based on a thorough diagnosis of the candidates’ / employees’ potential and suitability to the structure

Manager Potential Evaluation and Training Programmes

High-level professional training of executives with management capability is undoubtedly one of the elements that drives the development of the most efficient organisations. We use our AC to identify areas in need of improvement in the managerial staff, based on real simulation exercises (fact finding, role play, business games, in tray, etc…)

BPM Assessment Centre

Ideal complement to advanced headhunting

Our professionals have over 20 years’ experience in advanced headhunting, and can use this methodology as a complement to our standard selection techniques. It gives a deeper, broader vision of the candidates’ catalogue of skills for a particular job.

Planning professional careers and detecting training needs

Using our methodology and results of the AC exercises, we design a specific structured development scheme, in order to achieve the prearranged professional development of employees’ who participate in our Assessment Centre. It is, undoubtedly, the most reliable, thorough and effective system for achieving this goal.

BPM Assessment Centre

Person-to-Post Suitability Programmes

After a detailed analysis of the skills GAP existing between the demands of the post and the person who occupies it, we design a specific plan of action in order to decrease and narrow that gap in as short a time as possible.

Change management

Using our AC tool set, we identify those members of an organisation’s staff who should lead the change management process, analysing its impact and influence on their colleagues and other leadership skills for steering the change.

Internal / International Mobility
