Assessment Center Perspectives for Talent Management Strategies Reviews

Assessment Center Perspectives for Talent Management Strategies is the most comprehensive book about assessment center methodology ever written. It explores what is happening now and what to expect in the future. It is a must-read guide for current users and people considering adopting assessment center methods.-William C. Byham, Ph.D., Chairman & CEO, Development Dimensions International, Inc.

A truly valuable book which adds to the growing body of literature on assessment centers by introducing the concept of 'focal constructs' and attempts to tackle the thorny issue of how different talent management strategies influence the purpose and design of the assessment center by highlighting the differing interpretations of 'talent management.' Throughout, this book is a rich source of well-founded evidence, providing advice for practitioners and advocating new avenues for further research. -Nigel Povah, CEO, Assessment & Development Consultants, Ltd, UK

This comprehensive and useful book introduces readers to recent thinking and research on dimension, task, and hybrid-based approaches to assessment center design. But beyond this, we also see a broad treatment of the assessment center method supporting talent management in selection, promotion, diagnosis, and development of human capital. The book is a great resource for students, researchers, and practitioners concerned with ACs and human resource management in organizations.-Walter C. Borman, Personnel Decisions Research Institutes, Inc., and University of South Florida, USA
