People Central on Psychological Testing and Recruitment

By Colin James


People Central L.T.D is a Hawkes Bay company focusing on psychometric testing and assessment. A typical customer will be an employer who is needing to hire a staff member.

"The employer either brings us in at the beginning of the process or, because of a niggling feeling they're missing something, we come in at the end", asserts 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 capacity, and fire them on the grounds of their personality, typically at considerable fiscal 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 ability tests measure intellectual and reasoning capability. When talking about recruitment, capacity testing is glorious for working out if an applicant has the core capabilities necessary for success in a job. Many bosses don't realise that it is a indisputable fact that interviews and reference checks alone don't cut the mustard when referring to determining someone's ability to accomplish the job. "

The sorts of psychometric testing People Central endorse would be specific to the job, but Evans says that a standard capability test would cover: oral and numeral reasoning, abstract reasoning, clerical accuracy and ability to check, business proficiency, and technical capacity. Personality tests identify applicants whose behavior aligns with behavior connected with fulfillment in a specific business. When undertaking psychometric testing for personality, the factors below can be identified: whether a candidate is likely to worth and support a business culture, competencies and hopes; how they are likely to interact with team-mates, clients, and providers; and how they are probably going to cope with the stresses and strains of the job.As for that niggling feeling, Evans understands that bosses can feel like they are in a steamer situation, "Regularly there is a cut off point approaching, and a fair quantity of work to be done, otherwise bosses feel that there's a low pool of skills available in the community. "

Evans urges employers to bring in a professional to undertake psychometric testing, he says "The final result is going to be invaluable for the employer".
