Highly regarded 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 back into the workforce. People Central made a big impression on the Ministry in 2012, when 80% of their referrals (people who were facing redundancy) were back in work in around 2 months.
At People Central psychometric testing is conducted by qualified professionals, with a background in human resources, and in close contact with the requirements of business and clients. Business desiring to take on a new staff member can lower the risk of making a poor recruitment call, by employing executives like People Central to undertake the psychometric testing. Another common business use of psychometric testing is to identify talent in the team. Within 24 hours of calling People Central they can arrange for tests for your prospective employee, if that be online or under supervised testing conditions. With Folks Central you may expect results the following 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 dear business mistakes. Unfortunately in New Zealand there are a few 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, to explain they are not free. Another delusion is that psychometric testing is just for white collar positions, but there's really a decent range of products on the market especially for every skill level, its just that if the establishment offering the testing is not qualified then they may not be able to pick a test that is relevant to the job.
The final imperative factor is making sure that the test uses a New Zealand norm group, otherwise the results will 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.
