People Central L.T.D is a Hawkes Bay company focusing on psychometric testing and assessment. A typical shopper will be a company who is wanting to hire an employee.
"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", says Steve Evans, Director and Founder of People Central. "Having a unbiased third party on the selection panel provides great discernment for the employer, especially when the third party is qualified in psychometric testing!".
In Evans experience, most employers hire people based on their capacity, and fire them on the grounds of their personality, usually at material fiscal expense to the employer and emotional cost to the employee. Evans claims "Psychometric testing falls into two main categories, personality questions measure facets of personality and talent tests measure intellectual and reasoning capacity. When referring to recruitment, capability testing is glorious for working out if an applicant has the core capabilities necessary for success in a job. Many employers don't realise that it is a fact that interviews and reference checks alone don't cut the mustard when referring to determining someone's ability to do the job. "
The types of psychometric testing People Central endorse would be restricted to the job, but Evans asserts that a common capability test would cover: oral and numeric reasoning, abstract reasoning, clerical accuracy and ability to check, business proficiency, and technical capability. Personality tests identify applicants whose behavior aligns with behaviours linked with pre-eminence in a particular business. When undertaking psychometric testing for personality, the following factors can be identified: whether a candidate is likely to price and support a business culture, competencies and desires; how they are probably going to interact with team-mates, clients, and providers; and how they are probably to handle the stresses and strains of the job.As for that niggling feeling, Evans understands that employers can feel like they are in a steamer situation, "Often there is a cut-off point approaching, and a large amount of work to be done, otherwise companies feel that there's a low pool of abilities available in the community. "
Evans urges employers to bring in a professional to try psychometric testing, he asserts "The result is going to be invaluable for the employer".
