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 into the office. People Central made an enormous impression on the Ministry in 2012, when 80% of their referrals (people 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 touch with the wants of business and clients. Business wanting to take on a new staff member can decrease the risk of making a poor recruitment decision, by utilizing professionals 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 Folks Central they can organize for tests for your prospective employee, whether or not that be online or alternatively under supervised testing conditions. With Folks Central you can expect results the day after.
Of concern is that in NZ the psychometric testing industry is unregulated and is completely full of non-qualified execs 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, in other words they're not free. Another misinterpretation is that psychometric testing is just for white collar positions, but there's basically a reasonable range of products on the market specifically for every ability level, its just that if the institution offering the testing is not qualified then they may be unable to pick a test that is relevant to the job.
The final imperative factor is making certain that the test uses a New Zealand norm group, otherwise the results are going to be misleading due to cultural differences, and this has been a big factor in great potential employees missing out on the job, and a poor recruitment end result for business.
