An assessment is a series of questions used to measure your skill levels against your current job or a job you’re pursuing. Competency-based assessments help you and your manager see how closely your behaviours match those required. They also help identify strengths and areas for improvement. As part of your organization’s HR process, you might be asked to assess yourself or another employee.
