People Central on Mental Testing and Recruitment

By Colin James


People Central Limited is a Hawkes Bay company concentrating on psychometric testing and assessment. A typical shopper will be an employer that is wanting to hire an employee.

"The employer either brings us in at the beginning of the process or, because of a niggling feeling they're missing something, we come in at the end", announces Steve Evans, Director and Founding figure behind People Central. "Having an impartial 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 companies hire people based on their capacity, and fire them on the grounds of their personality, usually at considerable financial expense to the employer and emotional cost to the employee. Evans claims "Psychometric testing falls into two main categories, personality questions measure aspects of personality and aptitude tests measure intellectual and reasoning ability. When it comes to recruitment, capability testing is glorious 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 talking of determining someone's ability to get the job done. "

The sorts of psychometric testing People Central recommend would be specific to the job, but Evans asserts that a common ability test would cover: oral and numerical reasoning, abstract reasoning, clerical accuracy and ability to check, business proficiency, and technical capacity. Personality tests identify applicants whose behavior aligns with behaviors linked with fulfillment in a particular business. When undertaking psychometric testing for personality, the following factors can be identified: whether a candidate is probably going to value and support a business culture, competencies and hopes; how they are probably going to have interaction with team-mates, clients, and providers; and how they are probably going to cope with the pressures and strains of the job.As for that niggling feeling, Evans understands that bosses can feel they are in a steam cooker situation, "Frequently there is a deadline approaching, and a large amount of work to be done, otherwise companies feel that there's a low pool of talents available locally. "

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