Assessment details
Program: Assessment-centre shortlisting (Arctic Shores case study) and Thales UK Future Talent graduate and apprentice hiring
Arctic Shores publishes a Thales case study: during the pandemic, Thales added Arctic Shores’ task-based psychometric assessment before its assessment centre, which moved online. Thales had relied on manual CV sifting and on numerical and verbal aptitude tests at the assessment centre, and at times the team struggled to make any hires from the assessment centre. The case study reports assessment-centre conversion improving from a 3:1 target to 2:1 in some instances.
It does not say which country or programme it covers. Thales UK’s current graduate adverts list online tests after the application, then a video interview and a virtual assessment centre, but they do not name the test provider. Treat Arctic Shores as one possible format and follow your invitation.
