People Central on Mental Testing and Recruitment

By Colin James


People Central L.T.D is a Hawkes Bay company focusing on psychometric testing and assessment. A normal buyer 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're missing something, we come in at the end", announces Steve Evans, Director and Founding figure behind People Central. "Having a unprejudiced third party on the selection panel provides great understanding for the employer, specifically when the third party is qualified in psychometric testing!".

In Evans experience, most bosses hire somebody based on their capacity, and fire them on the grounds of their personality, customarily at substantial fiscal expense to the employer and emotional cost to the employee. Evans announces "Psychometric testing falls into two main categories, personality questions measure facets of personality and talent tests measure intellectual and reasoning capacity. When referring to recruitment, capability testing is glorious for working out if an applicant has the core capabilities necessary for fulfillment in a job. Many companies don't realise that it is a fact that interviews and reference checks alone don't make the grade when referring to determining someone's ability to get the job done. "

The kinds of psychometric testing People Central recommend would be peculiar to the job, but Evans asserts that a typical ability test would cover: oral and numeral reasoning, abstract reasoning, clerical accuracy and ability to check, commercial proficiency, and technical ability. Personality tests identify applicants whose behavior aligns with behaviours linked with fulfillment in a specific business. When undertaking psychometric testing for personality, the factors below can be identified: whether a candidate is likely to price and support a business culture, competencies and hopes; how they are probably to interact with team-mates, clients, and providers; and how they are likely to deal with the strains and strains of the job.As for that paltry feeling, Evans understands that bosses can feel that they are in a pressure cooker situation, "Often there is a cut-off point approaching, and a large quantity of work to be done, otherwise employers feel that there's a low pool of talents available in the neighborhood. "

Evans urges bosses to bring in a professional to undertake psychometric testing, he says "The result is going to be invaluable for the employer".
