The best way to do this is through the comprehensive recruitment reviews. They provide an opportunity to look into the thoughts of candidates and help employers assess their capacity as well as their wish to become a member of company.
For years, a recruitment review was called personality test. However, the word "test" leaves an impression that the person could fail. The review without pass or fail is a method of measuring the suitability of a person for a particular job, in a working group and within the company. There is no bad or in other words, a person can fit more or less with a job.
Reviews use the psychological measurement tools. A psychological measurement tool measures knowledge, ability and personality. When using the review to recruitment, the company will have a clearer picture of how the candidate will work in the company. This is achieved through individual measurements at three levels.
1. Behavioral tendencies - the observable behavior reflects his understanding: At least nine behavioral tendencies are measured in a recruitment review. These include productivity, leadership, extrovert, submissiveness, attitude, assertiveness, sociability, independence and objectivity of judgment
2. Career interests - motivation of a person can be associated with a number of fields: Know the similarities between the interests of the people and the interests of those who are interested in a particular job will help determine the effectiveness of compliance with a job and also predict the likelihood of success of a candidate for the job.
3. Thinking abilities- the process of receiving knowledge of a person is reflected in his learning: e.g what do they know, their ability to acquire and the ability to solve problems. It is based on 4 criteria: the ability to communicate, language, the ability to calculate and mathematical inference.
Applying a review in recruitment
Another benefit of a review is measure work performance of employees when doing a specific job and then developing a yardstick to choose the best. It only takes a little time, a national sales company can choose 12 employees who suit the best to develop and work for the company.
- Those who were evaluated including the best group which reached 79% suit the job or a higher than "acceptable" level.
- In the best 12 employees that employers identified, 92% fit enough or higher level.
- In 15 employees at the lower segment (that employers identified), only 20% fit the sufficient or higher level.
- In the other group, who are determined to work at the average level, only a half fit the sufficient or higher level.
The data are summarized in the study supports the hypothesis that the employees best suited to careers and companies they work tend to satisfied, stay longer with the company and work with a higher productivity.
