We understand the importance of matching the right candidate to the right position and how significant the implications can be of getting it wrong. The use of psychometric and skills testing enables us to gain additional information about a candidate not necessarily obtained purely from a CV or interview.
These tests provide employers with an objective and reliable method of selecting the most appropriate candidate for the job. They support the recruitment process though measuring such attributes as intelligence, preferences, reasoning ability, motivations and skills.
Psychometric testing enables employers to gain an insight into how well a candidate will fit into the organisation, how they will handle the intellectual requirements of the role and how they may behave and think in certain situations.
Our wide range of skills tests enables us to test a candidate’s proficiency and knowledge of such programs as Excel, Word and PowerPoint. This is one of the main areas in which candidates tend to over or underrate themselves. Through using a quantifiable method of assessment such as the tests that we have available, employers will gain an accurate understanding of a potential candidate’s genuine skill level. These tests can assist in improving the quality of the recruitment process and help to ensure that the best person for the position is selected.
The use of the above methods can be highly beneficial to potential employers but it is however important to emphasize that testing, while a very useful tool, is just one factor and should not be used as the only determinant of candidate suitability.
