➜ Increasing ethnic diversity: BAME employees make up 6% of the workforce
➜ Ensuring the industry is accessible: employees with disabilities also make up only 6% of the workforce

Assessing for Potential
Historically, the focus of assessment, whether for selection or for development, has been on past experience and attainment as critical criteria. We recommend that to hire future-proof talent, organisations should switch the attention and focus on Potential first.
Assessing for Potential has been difficult in the past, but our Mission is to enable a world in which people are hired and progressed solely based on their Future Potential. As a result, we have spent many years developing our approach to the identification of Potential with corresponding models, tools and techniques which make it easily achievable, even in high-volume situations.
IMI are just one of the many organisations we work with, who are now utilising our Future Potential Assessment to widen access to careers in the industry

Immersive Assessment Centres
Amberjack have worked with a number of law firms to design assessment materials.
Our immersive, interactive assessment centres are built around typical in-role business scenarios. We present the assessment centre as a working day, providing candidates with an electronic diary, indicating times when they are required to join a meeting. The meetings form the basis of the assessments and can be a mix of 1:1 or group meetings.
We are well known for one particular assessment innovation: defamiliarisation (or Defam Exercises). In every role we have profiled in the modern/digital era, resilience, ability to apply learnings from one situation to another, self-awareness, drive, and ability to think holistically, have been critical. These criteria are exceptionally hard to measure via traditional means. Our defamiliarisation exercises enable organisations to tap into these criteria while providing an exhilarating candidate experience.

Assessment Centre Exercise Design
In addition to our online assessments, many of our clients have decided to refresh their assessment centre materials. Organisations want to ensure their assessment exercises are reflective of the realities of the role, can be delivered virtually & face-to-face, and they assess Future Potential.
At Amberjack, we provide support and assessment design with our team of occupational psychologists, who can create bespoke assessment centre materials and interview question banks for you. Our assessment team is experienced in creating immersive, interactive assessment centres, built around typical business scenarios the candidates would find themselves in once in the role.

Potential in Action
Weightmans are continually seeking new ways to provide better access to careers in their sector.
In a move that was a first for an organisation of this size, Weightmans wanted to launch a new Law apprenticeship scheme across the business to attract the next generation of talent.
To support the innovative programme, they required a new recruitment and assessment solution which would create an immersive journey, focusing on a candidate’s potential rather than previous experience, to help deliver a diverse cohort of new hires.
