Psychometric Testing
Used effectively, Psychometric testing, can be a useful tool when selecting staff as part of the recruitment process, in career counseling, during the assessment of learning and development needs, in teambuilding or during outplacement.
Whatever your requirements, we help decide on the most appropriate tests and exercises to use in order to ensure the best and most accurate result possible. It is critical that the chosen tests are valid for the purpose they are to play - in other words, that they test something which is genuinely required in order to be successful in the role.
We understand these issues, and we are able to advise you on the correct battery of tests to use according to the circumstances. We are licensed to buy and administer the tests ourselves, and then to score them and to provide you with feedback.
In Recruitment and Selection we will select the appropriate test or tests most likely to assist in the prediction of effective performance in the role. This may be any one of or a selection of ability, aptitude and personality tests. Combined with an interview, the accuracy of the predicted performance in the role can be greatly enhanced.
In Career Counselling and Outplacement we use a mix of tests and career interest questionnaires. The career interest questionnaires help us to identify which categories of work the counsellee is most interested in according to certain career themes, such as active, analytical, caring/social or artistic/creative. We are often able to help our clients to move forward, embarking on a new career after a decision to make a major change, or perhaps for the first time, if they are school or college leavers. We may be helping them to re-launch their careers if they are returners to work after child rearing or a long period out of work for some other reason.
In Learning and Development, we are able to apply a range of tests and exercises as part of a Development Centre to assist with the identification of skills and knowledge gaps which in turn lead to learning and development needs. Our development centres are devised in conjunction with our clients who see them as a positive way to gain buy in from those who will later go through the Training Programmes set up as a result of the Development Centres.
Our Consultants are used to advising at all levels and will play a role in your decision making teams if required.
We use world class suppliers and we are able to purchase from almost any source due to the experience and qualifications of our consultants.
