To help employers assess the ‘digital readiness’ of job applicants, and create a digitally-capable culture, a new competency model and a new package of psychometric tests have been launched by assessment specialist cut-e.
Digital readiness is the attitude and ability that enables employees to embrace technology, collaborate with others and work effectively in a modern, digital environment. It is one of the European Union’s key competencies for lifelong learning. Research by cut-e reveals that 11 specific digital competencies are important in today’s workplaces. The company’s new model includes the distinctive behaviours and attitudes, associated with each competency, that are essential for success.
The 11 digital competencies in cut-e’s new model include three core competencies: learnability, agility and curiosity. These are supported by eight other competencies: drive to succeed; handling data; strategic solutioning; business acumen; virtual collaboration; digital communication; mental endurance and a coaching mindset.
cut-e has adapted its personality questionnaire and a cognitive ‘executive attention’ ability test to enable organisations to assess for these key competencies. These two assessments automatically generate a feedback report which highlights each candidate’s proficiency in each competency, as well as their overall strengths and their areas for improvement.
