Clearing Assessment Centre Calendars

Assessment centre days are among the most logistically complex events in any recruitment calendar. Multiple candidates, multiple assessors, multiple activities running in parallel — all tracked through shared Google Calendars that become densely populated over the course of a recruitment campaign.

What assessment centre calendars typically contain

• Individual candidate schedule slots (group exercises, written tasks, interviews, presentations)
• Assessor assignments and briefing sessions
• Room bookings for each activity
• Assessor calibration and scoring meetings
• Senior sponsor and observer slots
• Logistics coordination events (candidate reception, lunch arrangements, feedback sessions)

A single assessment centre day for 12 candidates with 6 assessors across 4 activity stations can generate 50 or more individual calendar entries. For campaigns running multiple assessment centre days, this multiplies quickly.

Clearing after the campaign

Once all assessment centre days are complete and hiring decisions have been made, the calendar data from those days has served its purpose. Clear it cleanly so the calendar — and the assessors who share it — are not left looking at completed assessment schedules months after the campaign ended.

1. Confirm all assessment scoring, moderation, and hiring decisions are finalised
2. Export an ICS archive if assessment records need to be retained for compliance or challenge purposes
3. Sign into wipeaway.app with edit access to the assessment calendar
4. Set the cut-off date to the last assessment centre day of the campaign
5. Review the count and confirm
