After they have completed each of the 2 exercises, we ask candidates to complete a survey for us.

There are several questions about their experience and we ask for their ratings in relation to interest level, challenge, relevance, applicability to role, use of the CPG system. This feedback helps us keep an eye on what we are doing right and where we can improve, and is crucial to making sure we are meeting the candidates’, as well as the organisation’s needs.
