The Approach
The consultant team analysed the contribution of selection components by analysing how the previous years’ results would have changed had they been omitted singly or in combination.
They used data on a selection of best and worst-performing candidates to assess the predictive power of the different assessment activities.
They recognised the matching candidates to posts as an example of the Assignment Problem and after reviewing the literature decided to approach it using the Hungarian Method.
An Excel-based prototype was developed using VBA to produce initial allocations.
“Dedicated volunteers committed to the project added great value for data/insight-driven decisions”
