Psychometric Testing
In today's highly competitive world, recruitment and retention strategies are of paramount importance, not least because it often costs many thousands of pounds to recruit and train a replacement employee. The use of modern ability, aptitude and psychometric tests can help to support and enhance every aspect of your recruitment and retention strategies. For many years, psychometric tests have been regarded as a valuable business tool, their widespread use being linked to an increase in overall company profitability. As modern selection and development processes become ever more sophisticated, testing has assumed a more prominent role for a number of organisations.
Psychometric assessment improves the likelihood of getting the right person for the job by introducing objectivity to the recruitment process. Starting with an analysis of the job role, it helps to define the required skills by breaking the role down into a core group of competencies and behaviours. By doing this we are turning the characteristics you're looking for in a successful employee into measurable skills.
Psychometric tools help to measure hard skills, such as verbal and numerical ability, as well as soft skills, such as personality, behaviour and motivation. The value of motivational questionnaires is undeniable when team building and promoting personal development which are harder to quantify by other methods.
