People Central Limited is a Hawkes Bay company concentrating on psychometric testing and assessment. A common customer will be a company who is needing to hire an employee.
"The employer either brings us in at the beginning of the process or, due to a niggling feeling they're missing something, we come in at the end", announces Steve Evans, Director and Founder of People Central. "Having an impartial third party on the selection panel provides great understanding for the employer, particularly when the third party is qualified in psychometric testing!".
In Evans experience, most bosses hire someone based on their capability, and fire them on the grounds of their personality, usually at considerable finance 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 aptitude tests measure intellectual and reasoning ability. When talking about recruitment, capacity testing is fantastic for working out if an applicant has the core capabilities necessary for success in a job. Many bosses don't realise that it is a proven fact that interviews and reference checks alone don't qualify when referring to determining someone's ability to accomplish the job. "
The sorts of psychometric testing People Central recommend would be peculiar to the job, but Evans announces that a standard capability test would cover: oral and numerical reasoning, abstract reasoning, clerical accuracy and ability to check, business proficiency, and technical ability. Personality tests identify applicants whose behaviour aligns with behaviours linked with success in a selected business. When undertaking psychometric testing for personality, the following elements can be identified: whether a candidate is in all likelihood to price and support a business culture, competencies and aspirations; how they are likely to interact with team-mates, clients, and providers; and how they are likely to handle the pressures and strains of the job.As for that niggling feeling, Evans understands that bosses can feel that they are in a pressure 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 in the community. "
Evans urges companies to bring in a professional to undertake psychometric testing, he asserts "The result will be invaluable for the employer".
