PSYCHOMETRIC TESTING

Know your employee before you hire...

It can be hard to judge the personality and behavioural traits of candidates in an interview, and by assessing candidates against objective criteria, psychometric tests can help employers make more successful hiring decisions, improving employee retention by focusing on obtaining the right fit between candidate and job role. Psychometric tests can also be used to support sales training and sales improvement initiatives. They can for example give individuals insight into their strengths and weaknesses and the behavioural preferences that they may or may not share with others on their team. Prior to the development of a sales training program, they can help determine which employees need training and in which areas.

Some of the key elements that we would test for are shown below and these would provide a definitive and clear picture of the potential incumbent's traits and capabilities - an investment well worth the money.

Aptitude

Can the potential employee perform the task that you will demand of them?  Aptitude clearly is one of the cornerstones of a successful deployment so ensure a solid return on investment by ensuring the right person is hired for the right role. The appropriate aptitude tests are consistently valued as the best predictors of workplace effectiveness.

Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence is as critical to workplace success as technical competency. Test the ability of an individual to develop and maintain relationships, cope with challenges, regulate emotions, express themselves effectively and perform critical decision making.

Personality

It is key to understand whether the potential incumbent’s characteristics compliment the key functions of a role. Through testing, you will gain an insight into current behaviour and predict their future performance in the specified role.

Cognative and Learning Potential

Assess current and future potential. Measure cognitive process valued in problem solving, such as conceptual thinking, complex situational judgement and strategic versus operational inclination. Our assessments are unbiased, culturally fair and highly effective at predicting success in a role.

Integrity

Assess individual integrity, determine ethical standing and predict counter-productive work behaviour to avoid potential future costs.

Values

Measure individual and team culture, motivation and value systems to gauge priorities and decision-making frameworks. Help teams work together to enhance performance.
