People Central L.T.D is a Hawkes Bay company specialising in psychometric testing and assessment. A typical customer will be an employer that is looking to hire a staff member.
"The employer either brings us in at the beginning of the process or, due to a niggling feeling that they are missing something, we come in at the end", asserts Steve Evans, Director and Creator 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 bosses hire people based on their ability, and fire them on the grounds of their personality, typically at considerable financial expense to the employer and emotional cost to the employee. Evans says "Psychometric testing falls into two main categories, personality questions measure facets of personality and ability tests measure intellectual and reasoning ability. When talking about recruitment, capability testing is fantastic for working out if an applicant has the core capabilities necessary for greatness in a job. Many companies don't realise that it is a indisputable 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 restricted to the job, but Evans asserts that a standard capability test would cover: oral and numerical 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 pre-eminence in a selected business. When undertaking psychometric testing for personality, the following elements can be identified: whether a candidate is in all likelihood to worth and support a business culture, competencies and hopes; how they are likely to have interaction with team-mates, clients, and providers; and how they are probably going to cope with the strains and strains of the job.As for that petty feeling, Evans understands that employers 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 community. "
Evans urges companies to bring in a professional to undertake psychometric testing, he says "The result will be invaluable for the employer".
