People Central on Psychometric Testing and Recruitment

By Colin James


People Central Ltd is a Hawkes Bay company focusing on psychometric testing and assessment. A typical buyer will be an employer who is looking to hire a member of staff.

"The employer either brings us in at the beginning of the process or, because of a niggling feeling that they are missing something, we come in at the end", announces Steve Evans, Director and Founding figure behind People Central. "Having a unprejudiced third party on the selection panel provides great insight for the employer, specifically when the third party is qualified in psychometric testing!".

In Evans experience, most bosses hire somebody based on their ability, and fire them on the grounds of their personality, customarily at substantial fiscal expense to the employer and emotional cost to the employee. Evans says "Psychometric testing falls into two main categories, personality questions measure facets of personality and aptitude tests measure intellectual and reasoning capability. When talking about recruitment, capacity testing is glorious for working out if an applicant has the core capabilities necessary for fulfillment in a job. Many companies don't realise that it is a proven fact that interviews and reference checks alone don't qualify when talking of determining someone's ability to get the job done. "

The kinds of psychometric testing People Central recommend would be specific to the job, but Evans announces that a common capability test would cover: oral and numerical reasoning, abstract reasoning, clerical accuracy and ability to check, business proficiency, and technical ability. Personality tests identify applicants whose behavior aligns with behavior associated with success in a selected business. When undertaking psychometric testing for personality, the factors below can be identified: whether a candidate is likely to worth and support a business culture, competencies and hopes; how they are probably to have interaction with team-mates, clients, and providers; and how they are probably going to deal with the strains and strains of the job.As for that paltry feeling, Evans understands that employers can feel that they are in a steamer situation, "Frequently there is a cut-off point approaching, and a large amount of work to be done, otherwise companies feel that there's a low pool of abilities available in the community. "

Evans urges bosses to bring in a professional to try psychometric testing, he is saying "The result will be invaluable for the employer".
