Workforce Management and Transition
help for government officers, managers and executives

If you are affected by the Selection of Employees for Retention or Lay-off (SERLO) process, you may have to qualify for positions through screening that uses standard assessment methods developed and administered by the Public Service Commission in conjunction with department and agency HR units.

Assessment options—all of which have been in place for years and used in other contexts—include:

  • written communication and multiple-choice tests
  • online and classroom written exams
  • in-baskets and simulations
  • assessment centres
  • presentation skills exercises
  • resumé and cover letter screening
  • assessment qualifications written submissions
  • locally developed tools usage
  • structured interviews and reference checks.

Our study kits and coaching programs help clients with the exercises that will be used in the SERLO process. We understand government assessment methods: we have helped more than 11,000 people, in an array of classifications, in competitions from entry to EX-03 levels over the last 25 years. Senior-level supporters from across the government [click here] and our diversified training experience [click here] validate our track record.

We provide specific, practical, proven test preparation materials and personal coaching for competency- and knowledge-based exams, in-baskets, simulations, presentation skills, assessment centres, resumé and cover letter development, interviews and reference checking.
