Psychometric Profiling

A FRESH PSYCHOLOGY EMBEDDED APPROACH TO RECRUITMENT

Psychometric Profiling can be extremely valid and reliable when used as a supportive tool throughout the Search and Selection process. We need to understand that people are unique: behaviour is made up of different personality traits, values, attitudes, temperament and motivations, some are stable over time but other factors can change depending on the context, particularly in a work-based situation. We need to understand these differences to ensure an individual best fits into a role and a company. This has been scientifically supported throughout years of Organisational Psychology research.
  • Psychometric testing is a key development tool in an individual’s career planning and an investment in the effective staffing structure of any company.

VALIDITY
