People Central Limited is a Hawkes Bay company concentrating on psychometric testing and assessment. A typical shopper will be an employer who is needing to hire a member of staff.
"The employer either brings us in at the beginning of the process or, due to a niggling feeling that they're missing something, we come in at the end", announces Steve Evans, Director and Founder of People Central. "Having a unprejudiced 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 companies hire someone based on their capability, and fire them on the grounds of their personality, usually at considerable financial expense to the employer and emotional cost to the employee. Evans announces "Psychometric testing falls into two main categories, personality questions measure sides of personality and aptitude tests measure intellectual and reasoning capability. When talking about recruitment, capacity testing is fantastic for working out if an applicant has the core capabilities necessary for success in a job. Many bosses don't realize that it is a fact that interviews and reference checks alone don't qualify when referring 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 announces that a common ability test would cover: oral and numerical reasoning, abstract reasoning, clerical accuracy and ability to check, commercial proficiency, and technical capacity. Personality tests identify applicants whose behaviour aligns with behavior associated with success in a specific business. When undertaking psychometric testing for personality, the following factors can be identified: whether a candidate is probably going to value and support a business culture, competencies and aspirations; how they are probably going to have interaction with team-mates, clients, and providers; and how they are probably going to handle the strains and strains of the job.As for that paltry feeling, Evans understands that bosses can feel they are in a steam cooker situation, "Often there is a cut off point approaching, and a large quantity of work to be done, otherwise companies feel that there's a low pool of talents available locally. "
Evans urges companies to bring in a professional to undertake psychometric testing, he says "The result will be invaluable for the employer".
