Psychometric tests drastically improve recruitment accuracy

In today's challenging economic climate the pressure to make the right hire decision, first time, has never been higher. The wrong hire decision can cost organisations between 30% to 176% of the annual salary of each vacant position.

In the last two decades the psychometric test market has exploded with nearly two thirds of organisations now using them. But with so much choice and so many companies entering the market with enticing offers, how do you know if you've chosen the one that will give you the best results and the best value for money?

What are psychometrics?

Psychometrics are sophisticated tools designed to measure individual differences in a number of areas such as intelligence, ability, personality and motivation.

When used in combination with other information sources they provide a powerful insight into why people make the decisions they make and why they behave in the way they do.

Psychometrics also help predict future behaviour and performance and therefore are an instrumental tool in business planning.

They are used for a number of purposes including:

  • Recruitment and selection
  • Personal, team and leadership development
  • Career coaching and management

Psychometrics offer cost efficiencies through increased recruitment accuracy and development focus.
