Psychometric and Ability Testing
Qualified to Levels A and B accreditations by the British Psychological Society, Prosper offers a range of psychometric tests from leading providers of talent acquisition, performance management and retention solutions.
Psychometric and ability tests and assessments are among today's most effective methods of selecting high-calibre achievers for employment. Research by The British Psychological Society has shown that such testing can reduce business recruitment costs by 70%.
Designed by psychologists, psychometric tests are conducted under standardised, role-specific conditions to determine a candidate's skills, values, character, motivation and interests, while identifying areas ripe for personal development and pinpointing who are the future's potential top performers.
We offer a variety of assessment types, all designed to help you work up finely detailed sketches of your candidates and see how they'll best sit within your company.
Get the best candidates - then get the best out of them
Senior people are usually experienced communicators, seasoned in the craft of interviewing. As a robust, rigorous method of selection which puts prospects through their paces and demonstrates as much their mental agility as their basic skills, testing and its benefits can take various forms:
- A personality or behavioural questionnaire will show how well a candidate fits your culture, business drivers and esprit d'corps.
- Each candidate needs the right skills to make a success of the role and raise their profile as an asset. Consider a specific ability test as part of the recruitment process to identify levels of ability for further interview probing.
- Try as you might you may not find the 'perfect' candidate. Properly aligned testing will identify areas at which to target development and bring a prospect quickly up to speed.
- Interviews alone offer only a low percentage of assessment accuracy. Additional testing will significantly improve precision and help you identify the candidate's finer details of skill, knowledge and character.
- Testing leverages your employer brand and gives high-calibre candidates as clear a picture of you as it does of themselves. A challenging, sophisticated selection process will increase candidates' desire to join you rather than your competitors.
- Testing naturally identifies and supports the potential high flyers, but needn't neglect those of more modest talents.
