A polished CV can tell an employer where a candidate has worked. It cannot, on its own, establish how that person will analyse an unfamiliar problem, explain a difficult decision or perform a critical task. Interviews add useful context, but inconsistent questions and subjective impressions can make comparisons difficult. A well-designed pre-employment assessment gives employers another source of job-relevant evidence.

A promotion is not simply a reward for long service or outstanding performance in an existing job. It is a decision about whether an employee can meet the demands of a different role. Someone who performs exceptionally as an individual contributor may need new capabilities to supervise colleagues, allocate resources or make decisions with wider consequences.
