ProGrad Assessment Days

ProGrad receives approximately 2,000 applications each month from recent University graduates in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.  We have a team of dedicated graduate managers who are responsible for screening applications, conducting telephone interviews and inviting successful candidates to a ProGrad assessment day.

The ProGrad assessment days are conducted in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane and our ProGrad assessment day team conduct each assessment day and screen for the top performing candidates.

The assessment days consist of a number of exercises, including:

•    Psychometric Testing
•    Self Introduction Sessions
•    Group Dynamic Exercises
•    Feedback Sessions
•    Business Case Study
•    Individual Presentations
•    One-2-One interviews
•    Verbal and Numerical Reasoning Tests

The assessment process also provides our candidates with a structured presentation titled, “How to be successful in graduate interviews”.

At ProGrad we know it is essential that the day is a worthwhile experience, and has something to offer all candidates.  The assessment day is a screening process, yet also a worthwhile learning experience and provides graduates with exposure to a competency based assessment framework.

ProGrad assess for five key areas of competency:

1)    Confidence
2)    Verbal Communication Skills
3)    Drive and Dynamism
4)    The Ability to Influence and Persuade
5)    Structure and Logic 

The ProGrad assessment day is designed to highlight a candidate’s ability and raw aptitude.  Our assessment centres and interviews are not about assessing for experience, as we know this will be limited with our graduate intake.

ProGrad actively invite our client partners to attend the assessment days in each location, offering them an opportunity to screen candidates and highlight people for their teams.  Many companies highlight candidates at the assessment days and offer immediate interviews and consequent placements on their graduate programs.
