so very correct, HR are in no way near competent in the hiring process. A good interview would be multi level including representation by HR, hiring managers and SME's. With today s large corps its the fashion to outsource all and sundry to third parties, psyc. tests are the latest flavorsome cost layer to be incorporated into the process.
Skill based tests I've no issue with as they are measurable, personality based psychometrics feel like board line quackery and offer no discernible benefit.
You have made some very valid point, but sadly, my experience has taught me that there are some major flaws with internal interviewing practices. HR staff are not always that well trained in competency based interviewing, let one have a serious understanding of assessment centres. I am of the view that head hunters are very good at what they do, but I would still screen potential candidates, before I passed them on to another client. In this age of litigation, one has to be so careful.
I would not suggest an alternative method as I see that the vast majority operating in this commercial field providing a costly overhead superfluous to requirement.
Science is mildly interesting but the commercial application of the personality test is BS of the newest order. Used more than not by lazy employers with check boxes looking for the cookie cutter ginger bread army. Sooner employ the maladjusted pain in the arse that shines brilliance once in a blue moon rather than the controlled vetted herd profiled and chased by modern HR depts for their job fit.
The commercial application places a previously seldom heard of level of bureaucracy between client and customer for the purpose of profit only and that which good internal interview process panel is more than capable of doing.
The subject is interesting put its gradual creep into the recruitment process is a kin to the move from the respected headhunters of yesterday with the current crop of todays dumb downed recruitment firms.
psychobullshit test.. its not reliable contrary to what you said. my employer put me to this bullshit test... and she said "you're carefree and happy go lucky"... another anal-yser said "you take into consideration a lot of information before making a decision".
but yea i accept that it might be errors on their part. but if it was really scientific, and "reliable" as you said, only one conclusion should be drawn, or somewhat similar conclusions.. not opposing conclusions like those above!
got a phone interview on Wednesday for a job in Spain which the Agency has indicated will be based on a Personality Psychometric test. You're advice has really put my mind at rest and made me feel more relaxed about the prospect. I'm now going to just relax and be honest (I know I can do the job after all).....cheers fella
Only criticism I can voice about the video is the fact that the sound could be slightly better.
The best psychometric test I have ever done is Wealth Dynamics ... at least you can do something exceptional with it! Take the test. it changed my life!
I would note that yes, tests are not biased. However, it is the interpretation of test scores and consequences of test score interpretation (e.g., decision to hire, promote, training, or fire) that can lead to bias. Lastly, validity depends on context.
