Assessments for energy and utilities

The energy sector recruits faster than training programmes deliver people. A growing share of the intake comes from another sector, without a technical background. The question is then who learns the trade within a year.

hrmforce measures learning ability and safety behaviour, independent of certificates and previous experience.

Roles in energy and utilities

The work runs from the meter cupboard to the high voltage substation, with safety rules that weigh heavily. These are the roles companies measure.

Judging career changers without a CV that helps

A candidate who worked ten years in hospitality and wants to become a technician cannot be judged on work experience. The CV says nothing about how fast someone reads a schematic or reasons out a fault. An ability test does say something about that, and costs half an hour. Safety behaviour counts as well: in the field someone works alone, and the rule applies when nobody is watching.

How we measure that

Assessments used in energy

These instruments are used most often in this sector. Every assessment has its own page with the evidence base and example questions.

How an energy company sets it up

1

With career changers you put the ability test first, before the first interview.

2

For the field you add a behavioural measurement emphasising care and independence.

3

For promotion you use a development assessment, with a conversation about the outcome.

What it delivers

Companies measuring career changers bring in candidates who would otherwise have failed on their CV, and see less drop-out during training.

Frequently asked questions

Does this replace a vocational training?+

No. The measurement says something about the chance someone completes the training, and helps decide who you offer it to.

How fast do we have an outcome?+

The report is ready as soon as the candidate is finished, usually within the hour after the invitation.
