Psychometric assessments are commonly used in recruitment to provide more information than interviews in less time. They have been designed by experts using statistical techniques aligned with personality research. Assessments should be used along with other selection methods tailored for each role. While candidates may have qualifications, assessments evaluate if they have the right aptitudes and personality for the job to ensure suitability and prevent costly hiring mistakes. Assessments measure abilities through aptitude tests and personality styles through behavioral analyses to help make informed hiring decisions and build effective teams. Companies can contact experts to discuss which tools best meet their staffing needs.
