People Central Awarded Psychometric Testing Contract with Kiwi Ministry

By Colin James


Highly respected human resources and psychometric testing company People Central has over 200 corporate clients in New Zealand, and has recently been awarded a Ministry of Social Development contract to help Hawkes Bay people facing redundancy, get into the workplace. People Central made a massive impression on the Ministry in 2012, when 80% of their referrals (employees who were facing redundancy) were back in work in around 2 months.

At People Central psychometric testing is conducted by qualified professionals, with a background in human resources, and in touch with the wants of business and clients. Business wanting to take on a new staff member can reduce the risk of making a poor recruitment call, by using pros as Folk Central to do the psychometric testing. Another common business usage of psychometric testing is to recognize talent in the team. Within 24 hours of calling Folk Central they can organize for tests for your candidates, whether or not that be online or alternatively under supervised testing conditions. With Folks Central you can expect results the next day.

Of concern is that in NZ the psychometric testing industry is unregulated and is completely full of non-qualified professionals and free online testing, which can cause costly business mistakes. Unfortunately in New Zealand there are a few well used psychometric products that are little better than horoscopes.

According to People Central, the best psychometric tests have more than 20 years of empirical research behind them, put simply they're not free. Another misconception is that psychometric testing is for white collar positions, there is however actually a reasonable range of products on the market specially for every talent level, its just that if the company offering the testing is not qualified then they may be unable to pick a test that is relevant to the job.

The final vital factor is making sure that the test uses a New Zealand norm group, otherwise the results will be deceiving due to cultural differences, and this has been an important element in great potential employees missing out on the job, and a poor recruitment result for business.
