Highly regarded human resources and psychometric testing company People Central has over 200 corporate clients in New Zealand, and has recently 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 (persons who were facing redundancy) were back in work within 2 months.
At People Central psychometric testing is conducted by qualified professionals, with a background in human resources, and in touch with the requirements of business and clients. Business needing to take on a new staff member can lower the risk of making a poor recruitment choice, by employing professionals such as Folks Central to try the psychometric testing. Another common business usage of psychometric testing is to recognize talent in the team. Within 24 hours of calling People Central they can prepare for tests for your candidates, if that be online or under supervised testing conditions. With Folks 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 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, in other words they aren't free. Another misinterpretation is that psychometric testing is for white collar positions, but there is really a good range of products on the market especially for every ability level, its just that if the establishment offering the testing is not qualified then they may be unable to pick a test that is relevant to the job.
The final vital factor is ensuring that the test uses a New Zealand norm group, otherwise the results are going to be deceiving due to cultural differences, and this has been a major factor in great potential employees missing the job, and a poor recruitment result for business.
