The Values Based Recruitment Toolkit provides a range of useful recruitment tools, ranging from interview guides to assessment centre exercises and information about psychological testing.
This tool enables an employer to gather information about potential and current employees’ literacy and numeracy skills.
It can help employers to see if people’s skills:
- match the requirements of the position, or
- require more development in the workplace, or
