Is it the end of the All You Can Eat Buffet

In the Covid-19 world, the all-you-can-eat buffet is dead! For a while now, the idea of a full buffet – with its uneaten pasta salads, grape topped tuna sandwiches and baked beans out of a tin, had started to become unappealing. Things that one would never order off a menu somehow made their way onto the buffet table. It’s usually just our psychology at play – convincing us that we are eating our money’s worth!

There is now enough research to show that what customers really want is a smaller, better curated selection, bringing them a more varied experience! Just the right rich creamy pesto spaghetti, or the perfect dessert for example. 

One day or Two days Assessment Centers are evolving in the same way as the dining table is. Instead of being jam packed with too many activities and assessments, the Assessment Center is now focusing to about 3 hours – either blended or fully virtual. Candidates don’t have the patience to stare at the screen for long hours, and assessments are now boiling down to a concise yet impactful 3 tools in 3 hours.

• One Inbasket or Psychometric/Critical Thinking Assessment
• One Simulation 
• One Role Play or Behavioral Event Interview
