In-tray exercises These involve working from the contents of a manager’s in-tray which typically consists of letters, memos and background information. The candidate is asked to make decisions based on this information against the pressure of a timed assessment. With the move in the working environment to e-mail in-trays, SHL has now developed one of the first e-basket platforms to allow assessment to be tailored and carried out using a PC . Group exercises These are timed discussions where a group of participants work together to tackle a work-related problem. Roles are either assigned or unassigned and the group is observed by a team of assessors looking at how the interaction between the group is happening and the roles being played out. Presentations A formal presentation may be required to be presented to a number of assessors. This may involve advance preparation on a given topic, or be based on information provided that the candidate needs to interpret and analyze prior to presenting and supporting a decision. Fact-finding exercises In fact-finding exercises the candidate is required to reach a decision while starting with only partial knowledge. He or she needs to understand what additional information is needed to make the decision and sometimes to question the assessor to obtain this information. Role plays In a role play a specific role will be assumed by the candidate for a specific task. This is then executed and observed by an assessor to determine how the candidate would deal with a specific situation.
