The DAT is structured in separated but complementary assessment areas and explores:

• availability and effectiveness of any HR management strategies;
• how small businesses plan any hiring process;
• effectiveness of hiring procedures;
• quality of any Employer Value Proposition and Branding strategy;
• satisfaction with any previous hiring processes undertaken by the employer;
• availability and quality of any social responsibility policy within the company;
• company’s approach to any health and wellbeing strategy at the workplace.

The DAT targets:

• small businesses, so that they can self-assess their readiness to undertake any effective and performing recruiting;
• specialized advisors, mentors and business support organizations, in order for them to integrate such an innovative diagnosis into their portfolio and follow up with consultancy and/or training.
