What is a skills assessment?

Visit skills assessment is a structured, personalized process that gives you time to reflect on your career path, your aspirations and your resources. A genuine development tool, it helps you to take a step back, à get to know you better and look forward to your professional future with greater confidence and serenity.

Its main objective is to enable you to :

  • Clearly define your projects or career paths,

  • Identify your strengths, talents and transferable skills,

  • Highlight your development areas,

  • Explore new avenues or confirm a project already under consideration,

  • Building a concrete, realistic action planin line with your values, motivations and constraints.

Whether you are in a period of transition, looking for meaning, thinking about career development or questioning yourself, a skills assessment is a unique opportunity to regain control of your career path and look to the future with confidence.

Our approach

We offer a planned individual coaching lasting from 2 to 6 months, i.e. about 20 hours divided into three essential phases:

  1. Preparatory phase - It serves to clarify your expectations, set your objectives and familiarize you with the assessment methodology. (≈ 1 hour)
  2. Investigation phase - Using in-depth interviews, questionnaires and diagnostic tools, we examine your professional and personal career path. You identify your skills, aptitudes, motivations, values and personality, as well as your resources and interpersonal skills. This step gives you a clear picture of your strengths and areas for improvement. (10 to 12 hours)
  3. Conclusion phase - Based on the information gathered, you draw up one or more realistic career plans, in line with your aspirations. A detailed action plan is then drawn up to implement these projects. (6 to 8 hours)

  • Design a career plan that matches your aspirations.
  • Formalize your know-how, skills, motivations, values and competencies.
  • Enable you to present your career path in complete confidence, so that you can promote your assets to your company or during a recruitment or retraining process.

Testimonials

"Isabelle helped me with a skills assessment (...). This in-depth work on myself was extremely enriching. Isabelle unquestionably has not only the technical skills but also the extremely valuable human qualities to accompany this in-depth self-knowledge process. Isabelle also provided invaluable support from the end of the assessment, to validate my professional project, right up to the day I landed my 1st job in my chosen field!
A. T.
Visual Merchandiser
"Isabelle was recommended to me at a pivotal moment in my professional and private life. After 12 years with a large consulting firm, I was asking myself a lot of questions. I needed to take a moment to reflect on where I'd been, and I needed the help of an independent person to help me understand the different paths I could take next. The Bilan de Compétences was the perfect tool for my situation. A structured and structuring approach that enabled me to identify my key skills, (re)define my objectives, and work on a career plan in line with my values and personality. Isabelle is an experienced person who brought life, structure and real added value to the approach and the process. I also appreciated the diversity of the tools (discussion time, reflection work, variety of tests). Finally, the approach also includes project implementation advice and follow-up, which is very useful and appreciable!"
