People Central Limited is a Hawkes Bay company concentrating on psychometric testing and assessment. A common shopper will be an employer who is wanting to hire a member of staff.
"The employer either brings us in at the beginning of the process or, thanks to a niggling feeling that they're missing something, we come in at the end", announces Steve Evans, Director and Creator of People Central. "Having an impartial third party on the selection panel provides great understanding for the employer, particularly when the third party is qualified in psychometric testing!".
In Evans experience, most bosses hire someone based on their ability, and fire them on the grounds of their personality, typically at material financial expense to the employer and emotional cost to the employee. Evans says "Psychometric testing falls into two main categories, personality questions measure sides of personality and aptitude tests measure intellectual and reasoning ability. When it comes to recruitment, capability testing is fantastic for working out if an applicant has the core capabilities necessary for fulfillment in a job. Many employers don't realize that it is a indisputable fact that interviews and reference checks alone don't cut the mustard when it comes to determining someone's ability to accomplish the job. "
The kinds of psychometric testing People Central endorse would be specific to the job, but Evans asserts that a common capacity test would cover: oral and numerical reasoning, abstract reasoning, clerical accuracy and ability to check, commercial proficiency, and technical ability. Personality tests identify applicants whose behaviour aligns with behaviors associated with success in a specific business. When undertaking psychometric testing for personality, the following factors can be identified: whether a candidate is in all likelihood to value and support a business culture, competencies and desires; how they are probably going to have interaction with team-mates, clients, and providers; and how they are probably going to cope with the pressures and strains of the job.As for that petty feeling, Evans understands that companies can feel that they are in a steam cooker situation, "Often there is a deadline approaching, and a large quantity of work to be done, otherwise bosses feel that there's a low pool of abilities available locally. "
Evans urges companies to bring in a professional to try psychometric testing, he says "The final result is going to be invaluable for the employer".
