Highly respected human resources and psychometric testing company People Central has over 200 corporate clients in New Zealand, and has just been awarded a Ministry of Social Development contract to help Hawkes Bay people facing redundancy, get into the workplace. People Central made a massive impression on the Ministry in 2012, when 80% of their referrals (persons who were facing redundancy) were back in work inside 2 months.
At People Central psychometric testing is conducted by qualified professionals, with a background in human resources, and in close contact with the wants of business and clients. Business desiring to take on a new staff member can reduce the risk of making a poor recruitment decision, by employing pros such as Folks Central to try the psychometric testing. Another common business use of psychometric testing is to recognize talent in the team. Within 24 hours of calling Folk Central they can arrange for tests for your applicants, whether that be online or under supervised testing conditions. With People Central you can expect results the next day.
Of concern is that in NZ the psychometric testing industry is unregulated and is completely full of non-qualified professionals and free online testing, which can cause costly business mistakes. Unfortunately in New Zealand there are several well used psychometric products that are little better than horoscopes.
According to People Central, the best psychometric tests have more than 20 years of empirical research behind them, put simply they aren't free. Another misconception is that psychometric testing is for white collar positions, but there is really a decent range of products on the market especially for every talent level, its just that if the institution offering the testing is not qualified then they may struggle to pick a test that is relevant to the job.
The final vital factor is making certain that the test uses a New Zealand norm group, otherwise the results are likely to be deceiving due to cultural differences, and this has been an important element in great applicants losing out on the job, and a poor recruitment outcome for business.
