The role of an assessor

The assessor’s role is crucial in recruitment, as this role evaluates the suitability of the applicant for the vacancy. Assessors can be internal or external to the organization. 

When applicants are to be jointly assessed by a group of assessors, a panel can be formed.  Typical examples of panels could be “Panel for Selection of Senior Management Staff”, “Panel for Group Discussion Assessment ”, and “Panel for Technical Assessment”.

To recruit an applicant for a senior position, there may be a need to assess the applicant more than once by different assessors.  In such instances, the assessor who has evaluated the applicant once cannot evaluate him / her for the consecutive evaluation.  The assessor, after evaluating the applicant, is required to mention who would be the assessor for the subsequent evaluation.
