People Central Ltd is a Hawkes Bay company specialising in psychometric testing and assessment. A normal shopper will be an employer who is wanting to hire an employee.
"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", says Steve Evans, Director and Founding figure behind People Central. "Having a unprejudiced third party on the selection panel provides great discernment for the employer, especially 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 considerable fiscal expense to the employer and emotional cost to the employee. Evans claims "Psychometric testing falls into two main categories, personality questions measure aspects of personality and ability tests measure intellectual and reasoning ability. When it comes to recruitment, ability testing is fantastic for working out if an applicant has the core capabilities necessary for fulfillment in a job. Many employers don't realise that it is a proven fact that interviews and reference checks alone don't make the grade when talking of determining someone's ability to do the job. "
The types of psychometric testing People Central recommend would be restricted to the job, but Evans asserts that a typical capability test would cover: oral and numeric reasoning, abstract reasoning, clerical accuracy and ability to check, commercial proficiency, and technical capability. Personality tests identify applicants whose behavior aligns with behavior associated with fulfillment in a selected business. When undertaking psychometric testing for personality, the following elements can be identified: whether a candidate is probably going to worth and support a business culture, competencies and hopes; how they are probably going to interact with team-mates, clients, and providers; and how they are probably to deal with the strains and strains of the job.As for that niggling feeling, Evans understands that employers can feel that they are in a steamer situation, "Regularly there is a cut off point approaching, and a large quantity of work to be done, otherwise bosses feel that there's a low pool of talents available in the community. "
Evans urges bosses to bring in a professional to do psychometric testing, he is saying "The result will be invaluable for the employer".
