Tools and Techniques: How Psychometric Assessments can Drive Value and Increase Efficiencies


Listen Later

In this episode of the Recruitment Leadership Podcast, Alison talks to Nemo D'Qrill and Alex Chikhani from Sigma Polaris, who shed light on why using psychometric assessment is a powerful tool that can help fulfil your client's needs in a highly effective yet timely way.

 

Covering the common questions and scepticism around psychometric testing Alex and Nemo provide real case studies and examples of where psychometric testing has radically changed the outcomes of a recruitment process.

 

While it is dramatic to say that psychometric testing saves lives (although it can!), there are many practical ways that psychometric testing adds value to clients and candidates, while helping you secure more placements.

 

In this episode, they discuss an array of topics relating to psychometrics, including:

  • Why COVID-19 has accelerated the need for psychometric testing 
  • How psychometric testing provides an advantage in a jobs-driven market
  • The common misconceptions and apprehensions on psychometric testing
  • How it drives remote candidate engagement (more so than standard application process)
  • How it can eliminate conscious and unconscious bias
  • Why Sigma Polaris is a lost-cost automation tool that can increase the quality of hire and reduces risk
  •  

    There is also an exclusive offer that listeners can claim on Sigma Polaris at the end of the episode. It's not one to be missed!
