Psychological Assessment for Recruitment and Selection

"Adding Science to the Art of Recruitment"

Psychological Assessment is a valid, reliable and objective means of assessing and comparing individuals. It provides a fair way of investigating job-related skills, problem solving abilities and a wide range of attitudes and motivational factors through the application of a variety of tools. Further, information derived from our appraisal and assessment procedures has invaluable applications in many crucial human resource functions.

Psychological Assessment adds value in many ways, for example in the recruitment and selection process it yields the following:

	It is an objective and defensible process
	Assists in differentiating between seemingly equal candidates
	Identifies candidates' potential
	Identifies issues not possible or difficult to ascertain through interview
	Generates pertinent questions for further interviews or reference checks
	Provides invaluable insight into how to best motivate and manage a new employee
	Enables candidates to be compared to their industry peers
	Clarifies issues related to job satisfaction, productivity and tenure
	Provides specific information regarding a candidates' style and/or abilities.
