“The CPM report on the assessment I went through back in 1995 as part of my application for a job at Barco is still in my drawer. I’ve referred back to it multiple times over the years.

Did you know that CPM can also do this for you?

CPM has specialist recruiters in its ranks, people who have an above-average understanding of how to detect talent for a specific sector by focusing on that sector.  For example, CPM can rely on 40 years of experience in recruiting and selecting management and executive profiles for the food and agricultural sector. This not only concerns filling local job openings in that sector, but we can also help fill international jobs, thanks to our partnership with CFR Global Executive Search

Leadership, the next step
Is there really anything more to say about leadership? Absolutely. Many analyses and insights talk about thé leadership and thé leader. But one leadership role is not the other. General insights into leadership must be weighted for each specific job. And this is all too often forgotten. Delegating, for example, is not equally important for every manager or supervisor. The same applies to ‘is creative’, ‘is well-organised’, ‘is visibly present’, etc. which are not equally important in every leadership role. There is clearly a need for ‘leadership, the next step’ and CPM took on the task: they developed a leadership trajectory that takes the competences generally considered essential for a leader and weights them based on each particular leadership role. The right leader in the right place; that is the challenge. We have a trajectory for that now, one that closely involves both management and the participant.
 

CPM clients walked a day in an assessor’s shoes

Kristel Sijmens, Hanne Wuidart, Sarah Bols

On Friday 21 September CPM organised an Assessors’ Day at its office in Melle. Our clients were invited to participate in an ‘assessment’ theme day. Sarah Bols: “This was our first Assessors’ Day, but the idea came from our CPM colleagues in the Netherlands, where it has already been tested. I went there to listen and was really surprised at the questions clients had. They had so many questions about assessments, many more than we had realised. That is why we decided to organise our own Assessors’ Day, to bridge any communication gaps there might be between client and assessor.”

Increasing complexity, skills shortages, and constant pressure on costs are just three reasons for prioritising organization-wide talent development – that is, learning and development that upskills people, increases their engagement with organizational success, and prepares them for the challenges on the horizon.
