predictor to future performance…
Selecting the right candidate can be the difference between achieving your objective or underperforming. One of the most effective ways of assessing the potential of a candidate is by using relevant, valid Psychological tests.
Logistics Recruitment provides a comprehensive range of psychometrics testing services designed to validate and assist your recruitment process.
Psychometric Assessment: What is it? A way of providing a quick and accurate appraisal of an individual's aptitudes and abilities in a variety of areas. This information can then be used to screen out inappropriate candidates, and in the case of a personality assessment, be used as the basis of behavioural interviewing.
Why use Psychometric Assessment?
- Psychometric Assessment adds value to the overall recruitment process.
- Psychometric Assessment is an objective, fair and consistent method of assessing capabilities.
- Research shows that Psychometric Assessment, in addition to traditional recruitment practices, acts as a predictor of future performance.
- Each job requires certain skills, which an interview may not be able to uncover, or which may be over / under-estimated by the candidate. An ability test that is appropriate to the job will measure the skills of the candidate in question.
- A candidate's ability to fit in with the organisational culture is very important. A personality questionnaire or work preference profile will highlight compatibility or areas of concern, so that the individual who is hired is of "best-fit" for the company and it's employees.
- Psychological Assessment results in increased motivation, job satisfaction, and improved performance. These factors result in reduced turn over, thus saving time and money.
What are the different types of tests available?
- Ability tests measure a range of cognitive capacities, including the ability to: process information; make decisions effectively; solve problems; grasp new concepts; apply knowledge; deal appropriately with new or complex information; reason in logical and abstract ways.
- Personality Questionnaires provide valuable information on an individual's predisposition to behave in a certain way in the workplace. They can be useful in determining their relationships with others, thinking style, and their ability to deal with job- related pressures.
- Work Preference Profiles measure the potential of a candidate to "fit" within a specific position by assessing a person's work preferences and characteristics.
- There are many other types of assessment which are often more interactive, and attempt to simulate "real work" situations. eg: In-trays, Group Discussions and Role Plays.
