People Central Ltd is a Hawkes Bay company focusing on psychometric testing and assessment. A typical shopper will be a company who is wanting to hire a member of staff.
"The employer either brings us in at the beginning of the process or, because of a niggling feeling that they are missing something, we come in at the end", asserts Steve Evans, Director and Founder of People Central. "Having a unprejudiced third party on the selection panel provides great insight for the employer, especially when the third party is qualified in psychometric testing!".
In Evans experience, most employers hire people based on their capacity, and fire them on the grounds of their personality, typically at substantial 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 talent tests measure intellectual and reasoning ability. When it comes to recruitment, capacity testing is fantastic for working out if an applicant has the core capabilities necessary for fulfillment in a job. Many employers don't realize that it is a indisputable fact that interviews and reference checks alone don't qualify when talking of determining someone's ability to get the job done. "
The kinds of psychometric testing People Central counsel would be specific to the job, but Evans asserts that a common capacity 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 behavior aligns with behaviours associated with success in a specific business. When undertaking psychometric testing for personality, the following elements can be identified: whether a candidate is likely to price 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 going to deal with the stresses and strains of the job.As for that petty feeling, Evans understands that bosses can feel they are in a steamer situation, "Frequently there is a cut-off point approaching, and a large amount 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 final result is going to be invaluable for the employer".
