Who Should Use Psychometric Assessments?

These tools are particularly valuable for employers who attract a strong pool of applicants and want additional information to support shortlisting and selection decisions.

Personality assessments, such as the PQ10, provide insight into a candidate's motivations, working style, and behavioural tendencies. This helps employers understand how an individual is likely to approach their role and contribute to team dynamics.

Ability testing complements personality profiling by measuring reasoning and cognitive capability. Our General Cognitive Ability Test (GCAT) assesses verbal, numerical, and abstract reasoning, helping identify a candidate's capacity to learn, adapt, and solve problems.

Suitable for organisations of all sizes, these assessments help employers select candidates who not only have the right skills, but also the potential to thrive within their team and culture.

Case Study: Palmerston North Airport

Palmerston North Airport has incorporated psychometric assessments into its recruitment process since 2019.

"We have engaged PN Personnel on a number of occasions for their services in providing psychometric assessments during recruitment processes. Shortlisted candidates complete an assessment prior to a second interview, giving us greater insight into their character, work style, motivations, and alignment with our team culture. This adds depth to our evaluation, and the suggested second interview questions are particularly helpful in guiding more focused and meaningful conversations."

Michelle Thompson, HR Advisor, Palmerston North Airport

By providing deeper candidate insights and targeted interview questions, assessments help create more meaningful conversations and support a thorough evaluation process.
