Psychometric Testing

General information

Why use Psychometric Testing?

Organisations with a thorough recruitment process predominantly use ability and personality assessments for selection and development. The combined use of ability and personality assessments is used to gain a more comprehensive picture of an individual.

Slade People Solutions believes Psychometric Testing offers an objective and legally defensible method of comparing the relative strengths of candidates. Used in conjunction with other selection methods, such as behavioral interviews, assessment centres and reference checking, it ensures a thorough and rigorous means of selecting the best person for the role.
