Have a Executive Onboarding with Lena Schmidt

Lena Schmidt

Employee Conversation

Support insecure employees.

Lena has been part of the team for six months and delivers technically sound work. However, she frequently seeks confirmation, even for routine tasks. Yesterday, she asked you three times to review a standard analysis, despite having completed it ten times before. This morning at 8:47 AM, she wrote to you: "I'm sorry, but I'm not sure if I understood the meeting minutes correctly. Could you explain it again?" Colleagues are complaining: "We constantly have to validate Lena's work. It's slowing us all down." Two weeks ago, you provided her with positive feedback, to which she responded, "Oh, that was nothing special." You have scheduled a meeting with her for today at 3:00 PM.

From applicant preparation to standardized assessment center elements.

Assessment Center Training for all phases of your recruitment process.

Our Assessment Center training covers both use cases: candidates can specifically prepare for your selection processes, or you can integrate AI role plays as an objective, standardized evaluation element directly into the AC. Ideal for public administrations, authorities, and companies with structured selection processes.

Assessment Center Training for Candidate Preparation

Candidates train in typical assessment center scenarios before attending the actual selection process: conflict discussions with challenging citizens, prioritization under time pressure, presentations to executives, and team tasks with conflicting interests. The AI characters simulate realistic behaviors—from aggressive complainants to uncertain colleagues. Applicants gain confidence and perform better in the real assessment center.

Assessment Center Training as a standardized AC component.

Integrate AI role-playing directly into your selection process as an objective assessment tool: All candidates experience identical scenarios under the same conditions. The AI automatically evaluates based on predefined criteria—eliminating subjectivity and observer bias. Ideal for agencies and administrations that require transparent and legally compliant selection procedures. Reduces assessor costs and ensures comparability.

Assessment Center Training for Public Service and Authorities

Specialized scenarios for administrations, offices, and public institutions: citizen dialogues with emotional applicants, conflict resolution between departments, data protection compliance situations, and priority decisions in resource-constrained environments. The AI characters simulate typical situations in public service—from frustrated citizens to overworked colleagues. Your candidates will train precisely the competencies you assess in the assessment center.

Assessment Center Training with Immediate Performance Analysis

After each Assessment Center training conversation, candidates (or your assessors) receive detailed feedback: Were conflict resolution strategies applied? Was the communication clear and structured? Were priorities set under time pressure? The AI evaluates AC-specific competencies based on your criteria and highlights areas for development. For candidate preparation: a learning aid. For AC integration: an objective assessment foundation.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assessment Center Training

What distinguishes AI-driven Assessment Center training from traditional AC preparation seminars?

Classic AC seminars focus on theory and perhaps a few role-playing exercises with trainers. Our Assessment Center training offers unlimited practice with realistic AI characters: candidates can rehearse the same scenarios multiple times until they feel confident. The AI adapts dynamically, mimicking real conversation partners in the AC. There’s no pressure from seminar schedules and no embarrassment in front of other participants. Training is available 24/7 and costs a fraction of traditional seminars.

Can I use Assessment Center training as an official AC component?

Absolutely. Many of our clients, particularly government agencies and administrations, integrate AI role-playing scenarios as a standardized assessment element in their selection processes. All candidates undergo identical scenarios, with the AI evaluating them based on predefined criteria, and performance is automatically documented. This reduces assessor costs, ensures comparability, and provides legally secure documentation. It’s ideal for transparent and objective personnel selection in accordance with civil service regulations or TVöD requirements.

Which assessment center exercises can I simulate with the training?

Our Assessment Center training covers all common AC elements: role plays (conflict conversations, employee discussions, public communication), prioritization tasks (making decisions under time pressure), presentation scenarios (presenting facts to executives), stress situations (dealing with emotional participants), and negotiation situations. We tailor scenarios to fit your specific AC structure—whether in the public sector, business, or non-profit organizations.

How realistic are the Assessment Center simulations?

Extremely realistic. The AI characters are based on psychological personality models (MBTI) and exhibit authentic behaviors: an angry citizen won't immediately become cooperative, an overworked colleague reacts defensively to criticism, and an insecure employee needs structure and appreciation. The AI dynamically adjusts its responses to your behavior—just like in a real assessment center. Candidates experience emotional reality rather than role-playing theatrics.

Is Assessment Center training suitable for multimodal selection processes?

Perfectly suited. Multimodal selection processes combine various assessment methods (tests, interviews, role plays, presentations). Our Assessment Center training can be integrated as a standardized component: candidates complete 2-3 AI role plays in addition to other AC elements. The performance data contributes to your overall evaluation. This is especially valuable for public administrations that require legally compliant and transparent selection processes.

Can I have my own assessment center scenarios created?

Yes, we develop custom scenarios based on your specific AC requirements. You provide us with your typical role situations (e.g., citizen complaints in city administration, conflict resolution between departments), and we create suitable AI characters and evaluation criteria. This process takes 2-4 weeks and costs between €2,000 and €5,000 per scenario, depending on complexity. After that, the scenarios can be used indefinitely.

How are candidates evaluated in the Assessment Center training?

The AI evaluates candidates based on AC-specific competencies: communication skills (clear, structured, empathetic?), conflict resolution (de-escalation, solution-oriented?), resilience (calm under pressure?), decision-making ability (clear priorities set?), and leadership potential (responsibility taken?). Each scenario has defined success criteria—e.g., the employee opens up, the conflict is de-escalated, a solution is collaboratively developed. At the end, candidates receive a score (e.g., 7.2/10) along with detailed feedback.

Is Assessment Center training GDPR-compliant for sensitive personnel selection?

Absolutely. We are GDPR-compliant with German servers, encrypted data storage, and a data processing agreement (AVV). This is especially important for public administrations: no data sharing with third parties, anonymized AI processing, and complete control over candidate data. Performance logs are legally documented for future traceability in case of lawsuits or audits by equality officers.

How long does an Assessment Center training session last?

A single role-play conversation lasts 15-25 minutes, similar to a real assessment center (AC). For thorough preparation, we recommend 6-10 scenarios (approximately 3-4 hours in total, spread over 2-3 weeks). Candidates can train at their own pace, making it ideal for professionals preparing in the evenings or on weekends. For AC integration, plan 2-3 role plays per candidate (45-75 minutes) to run alongside other AC elements.

What are the costs associated with Assessment Center training?

For candidate preparation: €29/month per person (unlimited scenarios). For AC integration in companies/government agencies: starting at €480/year per license with volume discounts (e.g., 50 licenses = €18,000/year instead of €24,000). Custom scenarios cost a one-time fee of €2,000-5,000. In comparison, traditional AC seminars range from €500-1,500 per participant without the option for repetition. External assessors charge €800-2,000 per AC day. ROI is typically achieved within 6-12 months.

Can Assessment Center training also be used for assessor training?

Perfectly suited. Your AC observers can train with the same AI scenarios that candidates will later complete: they experience the conversation dynamics from the participant's perspective, calibrate their evaluation criteria, and practice objective observation without bias. This is especially valuable for new assessors or for annual recertification. The AI also highlights assessors' blind spots (e.g., do they prefer extroverted candidates?).
