Simply getting someone to talk about what they have done in the past can be a straightforward and effective way of identifying a person’s knowledge, skills and experience.
However, uncovering the core personality traits and abilities that will shape their behaviour at work is more of a challenge.
That is why more organisations rely on psychological assessment to get their hiring, development and promotion decisions right.
When it comes to price and the time involved, most managers agree that assessments pay for themselves many times over if just one wrong selection decision can be avoided.
