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 within 2 months.
At People Central psychometric testing is conducted by qualified professionals, with a background in human resources, and in contact with the wants of business and clients. Business wanting to take on a new staff member can lower the risk of making a poor recruitment decision, by utilizing professionals as Folk Central to undertake the psychometric testing. Another common business use of psychometric testing is to spot talent in the team. Within 24 hours of calling People Central they can organize for tests for your prospective employee, whether or not that be online or alternatively under supervised testing conditions. With Folks Central you may expect results the following day.
Of concern is that in NZ the psychometric testing industry is unregulated and is completely full of non-qualified execs and free online testing, which can lead to dear business mistakes. Unfortunately in New Zealand there are many 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, to explain they aren't free. Another delusion is that psychometric testing is for white collar positions, but there's basically a good range of products on the market specially for every skill level, its just that if the institution offering the testing is not qualified then they may not be able to pick a test that is relevant to the job.
The final critical factor is ensuring that the test uses a New Zealand norm group, otherwise the results are likely to be fooling due to cultural differences, and this has been a major factor in great potential employees missing out on the job, and a poor recruitment outcome for business.
