Our old traditional recruitment process was placing an ad, screen resumes, develop a short list, interview applicants, screen-out unqualified people, check references and make an offer to the survivor.

The above process came to a halt to an extent when the organisations started using psychometric assessments as a part of their recruitment process.

To precise, psychometric assessments are measurement instruments that aim to provide a more objective means of evaluating individuals and also an objective way for recruiters to measure the potential of candidates to perform well in a job role.Psychometrics may be used to assess how a respondent's profile will affect their potential performance in a given role. These tests judge employees on their skills for the problem solving and the supervising ability of the employees and also judge them on various parameters. Psychometric assessments play an important role by being consistent and impartial and they can enhance the objectivity of the selection process. Psychometric tests are designed to provide employers with a reliable method of selecting the most suitable job applicants or candidates for promotion.

Online Psychometric Assessments can be used for-

1. Recruitment

2. Internal evaluations

3. Training

4. Career management

Psychometric testing batteries can be either fully administered in assessment centres or initiated online as part of the initial application process, leaving the assessment centre as the final screening step.

Using tests and questionnaires can help match candidates to jobs, identify individual capabilities and predict on-the-job performance. This allows for greater output and efficiency, higher morale, reduced turnover and lower training costs. In recruitment, psychometric will help you to identify the personality and competencies of an individual. It can help you identify his or her leadership style, team type, the impact he or she will have on a team and many other aspects.

Psychometric tests are divided in two main categories.

1. PERSONALITY AND COMPETENCY: This assessment helps you identify dominant personality traits in the work environment. Such tests also allow you to identify candidate̢۪s innate aptitudes with reference to a comprehensive selection of jobs and potential careers.

2. SKILLS AND APTITUDE: This assessment helps to measure reasoning, emotional intelligence and linguistic abilities. This test allows you to predict how prospective employees will perform in a particular job role and to simplify the implementation of internal evaluations or trainings.
