Transitioning to a Virtual Assessment Center can be easy, cost effective and provide a very agile and flexible tool for organizations. Richard McConkey, with over 30 years of expertise in assessments, talks about why they may be a very potent tool for HR and Talent professionals.

Why “virtual” assessment centers?

Virtual assessment centers always put the assessors on the same level and ‘virtual room’ as the participants – even if they are on the other side of the world. They are certainly ‘greener’ and more ‘cost-effective’ solutions for certain. Apart from the agility and ease of implementation , they bring many other benefits:

1) Simplified logistics

2) Superior participant experience

3) Better hiring decisions or development planning inputs.
