What is Psychometric Assessment & Screening used for?
Psychometric Assessment include the use of personality tests, as well as ability tests. It is a useful tool that can offer valuable, collateral information about a candidate. Using objective, well- researched questionnaires aids in decision-making in areas such as:
-
Recruitment – to what extent does the person match the job profile
-
Raising self-awareness during a development intervention
-
Manpower planning – what level of potential are we dealing with, how far to aim realistically
-
Career path planning
-
Retention strategies – what are the motivators that will keep the star performers
-
Organisational development – what do we have in our talent pool? How to best deploy our resources.
-
Team dynamics – highlighting and celebrating individual differences in order to use the team’s resources most effectively
-
Employee Assistance Programme interventions: is the person fit enough to come back to work after unpaid leave (eg. for depression), what level/work would most suit them under the circumstances?
