CAES Assessment and Performance Improvement Program

CAES understands that superior performance will be sustained over time when the person involved has the required educational background, technical skills, industry experience and the work personality characteristics that fit with their employment position, management group, team and organizational culture. Educational upgrading and evolving industry experience will both contribute to career growth. But it is the understanding of, and ongoing development of, performance related work personality characteristics that truly separates top performers from the rest of the group. With increased self-awareness, and the accurate and honest understanding of work related strengths and weaknesses, top performers can enhance their strengths, minimize their weaknesses and distinguish themselves from their career competition.

In order to assist our career-oriented candidates to accelerate their career development, CAES has created a candidate assessment program. While our primary business focus continues to be in candidate recruitment and selection, our expertise in assessment and evaluation also positions us to also help our candidates to develop their career options by offering consulting and assessment services pertaining to:

* Performance Improvement
* Management Development
* Leadership Development
* Succession Preparation
* Improved Communications
* Conflict Resolution
* Interpersonal Skill Development
* Team Interaction

Knowing that tests alone are insufficient, limiting and open the door for inaccurate interpretation, we take an all-encompassing approach to assessment. We believe that the more relevant information we acquire, the more accurate our statements will be based on consensual validation. Therefore, our written "tests" are cross-referenced with formal interviewing, personal observation and (in some cases) the solicitation of the opinions of others. Only with extensive candidate interviewing backed by valid and appropriate assessments can we provide the most accurate information pertaining to the project objective.

For this reason we have developed expertise in coordinating and interpreting a number of assessment tools that, in addition to formal interviewing, help us to identify such performance related personality based characteristics as:

* Management Capability
* Problem Solving Capability
* Leadership Skills
* Decision Making Abilities
* Strategic Planning Capability
* Communication Styles
* Motivations
* Interpersonal Skills
* Concentration Capabilities
* Analytical Skills
* Stress Response
* Source of Performance Errors
* Focus
* Integrity and Ethics
* Information Processing Styles

Whether enhancing self awareness, improving your performance capability, or preparing for your next career move, CAES personality assessment services and performance improvement recommendations can help you to further develop your performance levels and to distinguish yourself from your competition.

Because our assessment services are separate from our recruitment services, our employment candidates should not assume that they are obligated to participate in our assessment program.
