In the current COVID-19 setting, where everyone is talking about or picking up on a variety of topics, one has piqued my interest.

Presenting an excerpt from the same 

In a culture where employees and businesses meet by video conference and selection and recruitment monitored online with no face-to-face interactions, search consultants can offer precise and predictive assessments and useful insights into finding the right executive and non-executive talent. With the help of psychometric testing.

What is psychometric testing?

They are questionnaires used for personality evaluations. Psychometrics allows one to quantify personality characteristics, behaviors, emotional reactions, and psychiatric effects objectively in both study and practice.

Psychometric testing instruments are appropriate for a variety of uses and results and help you determine which assessments are suitable for your business. There are four major clusters or groupings of characteristics that psychometric evaluations evaluate: aptitude, behavior, appearance, and emotional intelligence.

An Australian-based Challis & Company (www.challis.co), with Hannah Challis (Executive director and Organisational psychologist), firmly believes that psychometric testing can be predicted to be an essential tool to perform structured and organized virtual interviews and recruitment. 

The reports generated from the psychometric tools will give insights into the personality trait (behavior, decision-making ability, competency, nature, etc) of the applicants (individually) and a window for improvement with the development plans created by the tool.

Through this type of recruitment procedure, it not only becomes easy for the clients to onboard best fit, but also candidates receive valuable development plans and insights whether or not they are selected for the job.

The effect of COVID-19 highlights the importance of research. Challis & Company works closely with boards of directors and CEOs who are making recruiting decisions without getting the ability to meet applicants in person. Psychometric assessment is much more important in this situation.

Relational distancing has resulted in organizations and persons living under altered employment conditions, which could last for a long time. Psychometric testing may reveal how individuals and groups respond to the effects of physical separation, social alienation, and remote working. Hannah says, broader understanding of an individual’s fundamental beliefs and form of character proves to be helpful. It allows leaders to be more empathetic to a wide variety of reactions, challenges, and desires at these periods, as well as implement successful working conditions and the correct community.
