Ability assessments (also known as psychometric assessments) can be divided into two broad categories – tests of ability and assessments of personality. PN Personnel believe by incorporating ability assessments into a recruitment strategy you further reduce the risks associated with hiring decisions. Quality ability assessments and ability testing gives structured and measurable insights into an individual's likely behaviours and ability levels. They can also identify where someone could excel in a job as well as recognising areas where further training and development or initial job support may be required.

All assessments can be completed online and are accessible via PC, tablet or smartphone. A full written report is produced (for both client and candidate) and can be supported by a phone or in person consultation with our qualified assessment interpreter.

ABILITY Assessments Aid the Selection Process

Ability assessments are consistent and impartial and can enhance the objectivity of the selection process. They are standardised in terms of the questions asked, the time allowed, and instructions given, which means all candidates are placed on an equal footing, making the assessment fair and objective. Unbiased, reliable and relevant information concerning the likelihood of job success and satisfaction can be provided, and they can improve the chances of appointing productive, high performing staff. Using relevant assessments we can gather additional job-specific information, making more informed and accurate selection decisions possible. By reducing selection errors, organisations can reduce staff turnover, training costs, lost opportunities and stress to individuals.
