Recruitment - Candidate Assessment
The use of psychometrics is increasingly seen as normal practice for inclusion in the recruitment process as psychometric tests are objective, reliable and valid.
They provide a standardised sample of behaviour with three important aspects:
1. All candidates have the same experience.
2. Objective assessment of skills or preferences.
3. Performance assessed against the same standards.
Benefits of using psychometric tests in recruitment for candidate assessment
They enable you to identify ability and potential using measurable assessment techniques:
1. Fairer Evaluation
Measures a candidate’s characteristics which you may miss with just an interview.
2. Objective
Benchmarking against a large group of external population.
3. Non-Biased
Reduces biases and lowers the risk of a mis-hire
4. Equality
Fairer, more equitable, harnesses diversity.
5. Evidence Based
Proven to be reliable and valid.
