MDC Advisory consultants were asked to assess candidates for a senior supply chain leadership role as part of their recruitment & selection process. The client wanted us to assess both leadership capability and against the job and person descriptions to identify the best candidates from an experience perspective.
The candidates completed an online battery of psychometric tests including personality and cognitive ability assessments before meeting with our consultant for depth feedback interviews and psychometric assessment discussions.
The data was then benchmarked against comparators before being presented in a detailed feedback report to the client.
MDC Advisory consultants were chosen because of our unique combination of sector and psychometric assessment knowledge. Moreover, we were chosen because we provided an independent assessment of capability and potential which was benchmarked against best-in-class candidates.
The outcome was a successful hire who was able to implement significant continuous improvement whilst providing leadership for the team. In particular, substantial improvements to inventory management, sales & operations planning, and warehouse leadership was achieved through the candidates leadership in implementing lean and supply chain excellence.
