Benefits of Personality Assessment

Person-to-job fit is a key consideration in any hiring strategy. The advantage of personality assessment is in measuring those aspects of behaviour which cannot be measured by other techniques, yet are crucial to performance.

 

By assessing personality at the candidate selection stage organisations see increases in productivity by the new hires, and also cost savings due to more efficient and effective candidate selection.

Key benefits of objective personality assessment:

  • Provide valuable insights to support other candidate selection techniques
    - assess areas that are impossible to measure with other selection techniques
    - assess how a person is likely to behave at work and how this may impact performance
    - remove reliance on subjective interpretation of CV’s
    - increase the power of interviews by uncovering hidden areas to probe
  • Provides managers with useful information beyond just candidate selection
    - insights into how a new recruit will fit into an existing team
    - knowledge of the likely strengths and development areas of staff leading to increases in productivity
  • Save time and money by assessing competencies early in the hiring process
