Graphical representation of life so far
Candidates visualize their professional and personal highs and lows. This allows them to view their life and work from a holistic perspective and reveals less accessible motives and characteristics.
Semi-structured interviews
Two executive coaches conduct two semi-structured interviews with the candidates. These interviews systematically explore leadership-specific, social and personal drivers, strengths and potential.
Personality profile
Candidates complete an online questionnaire in advance (e.g. Hogan Assessment). This provides information about strengths, personal drivers and behavior under stress and allows a benchmark comparison with other managers.
Management or negotiation talks
Candidates conduct a simulation interview relevant to their situation. The focus is on communication and interpersonal skills, among other things.
Elevator Pitch
Candidates quickly convince their counterparts of their cause. Among other things, the focus is on communication skills.
Case study
Candidates work on a practical case study, present their findings and discuss them. The focus is on analytical thinking, structuring skills and presentation skills, among other things.
Working with Trans-In was an outstanding experience in my nearly 20-year management career. Starting with a very accurate professional assessment, Trans-In supported me in my further development over a period of six months. This quickly became apparent to me, my colleagues and my employer. In particular, the way Jörg Eugster was able to provide a theoretical framework – always appropriate – for my specific examples, which then enabled me to address issues with a much broader range of tools, was incredibly helpful. I can therefore wholeheartedly and warmly recommend working with Trans-In
Frequently asked questions
Here you will find answers to frequently asked questions about career assessment.
When is it appropriate to take stock of your career?
These are classic triggers for a career assessment:
- Personal turning points: Events such as being made redundant, the bankruptcy of your company, a separation or a serious illness require you to rethink your priorities and your career path.
- Loss of meaning and joy: After years of a successful career, you realize that the meaning of your work is increasingly fading. It is the moment when you ask yourself how you can make the next step meaningful and fulfilling.
- Midlife: If you are in midlife and considering how to make the best use of your remaining time and energy – for yourself, your family and your professional development.
- Restructuring: When changes are made to the corporate structure or repositioning takes place, entrepreneurs and managers are faced with the question of how to proceed. This question is not only directed at themselves, but also at the key individuals involved: Who is suited to which position, and with which skills?
- Assessing employees’ current status: You have your eye on a talented individual whose potential you recognise but which remains untapped.
