The Co-operative Tests Their Graduates' Situational Judgement
The Co-operative Group were faced with the challenge of sifting around 2,000 applications for their two graduate schemes each year, which was placing significant demands on the time and resources of their recruitment team. With the graduate jobs market being continually squeezed the number of applications for both their finance and business management streams was predicted to rise further. A solution was needed to enable them to shortlist applicants more efficiently, and identify the cream of the crop from this growing talent pool.
The Co-operative chose to work with Criterion Partnership to develop a Situational Judgement Test (SJT) for pre-selection which would not only enable assessment against relevant competencies, but also communicate positive messages about the role and values of the organisation.
