Comprehensive assessment support for New Look

New Look brings the latest in fashion for women, men, teens and kids and always strives to deliver ‘fashion gems’ at the right time, in the right fit, the right colour and at the right price.  

In preparation for a major office relocation, Informed Assessment was asked by New Look to provide wide-ranging assessment support in a number of key areas.

Working to tight timelines, an emphasis was placed on objective assessment processes that were practical and easy to use.  

Adopting a pragmatic approach, Informed Assessment built on existing competencies, extending the scope of these to a multi-level framework, while still remaining both true to and reflective of New Look values.

With new competency definitions in place, Informed Assessment moved in to assessment process design, which included reviewing different options for exercise use, making recommendations and developing exercise versus competency matrices.

Informed Assessment then produced competency-based interviews with easy-to-use follow-up prompts and suggested probing questions across different levels.

SHL’s OPQ 32 was recommended for personality assessment with its Universal Competency Framework output mapped against New Look’s competencies in order to maximise the utility of the exercise in the forthcoming Assessment Centre processes.  In addition, Informed Assessment coordinated the online personality assessment process for candidates attending the assessment days.
