Working with the City, exercises are tailored with the information provided by <br />the agency and customized to fit the specific environment and needs of the agency. <br />• Create a scoring map that identifies weighted behavioral dimensions which will be measured for each <br />exercise. <br />• Build exercises using information specific to your community and department and integrating the <br />results of the surveys used above. <br />• PST will become familiar with and will follow the City’s Personnel/Civil Service Rules when developing <br />and administering the test. The City shall be responsible for notifying PST of any unusual or special <br />process or limitation of its rules, contractual agreements or policies that are related to the <br />development and delivery of the test, and <br />• Finalize the assessment center’s exercises and schedule with the agency’s subject matter expert(s) for <br />Phase Two. <br /> <br />Phase Two: Test Administration <br /> <br />PST will facilitate and manage the assessment center process, including: <br />• Conduct one virtual “Candidate Orientation Workshop” (in-person workshops can be conducted for an <br />additional charge) that provides candidates an overview of the assessment center testing process, <br />highlights tips for success, and pitfalls to avoid.
