Unlike facets such as education, skills, experience, appearance and punctuality, the behavioural traits and personality of a candidate can be much more difficult to assess during an interview. We in Boyd HR have chosen the McQuaig Psychometric System (BPS and CPC accredited) to ensure our Clients select the best individuals for the recruitment needs.<br \/><br \/><\/span><span class=\"larger\">The McQuaig Psychometric System helps you understand the whole person. It is so much more than a personality test because humans are more than a set of numbers.<br \/><br \/><\/span><span class=\"larger\">Recruitment and selection is like a 3-legged stool. You need to get all the right structural elements right or it may topple over at the first sign of pressure.<br \/><br \/><\/span><span class=\"larger\">Each psychometric assessment will measure a different aspect of an individual. Some will focus on specific skills such as numerical ability. Others will look at innate qualities such as temperament. What and how you measure will depend on the needs of the role and organisation.<br \/><br \/><\/span><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><span class=\"larger\">A Common Question: <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/em><span class=\"larger\"><strong>I use interviews and other methods; why should I replace them with tests?<br \/><br \/><\/strong><\/span><span class=\"larger\">You shouldn\u2019t! Psychometrics provide part of the picture. Interviews, for instance, provide information tests can\u2019t reach. <\/span><span class=\"larger\">Research shows that interviews, references, and application forms are very poor at predicting whether people will succeed. Interviews alone lack objectivity because you will be hugely influenced by your prejudices, likes and dislikes without realising it.<br \/><br \/><\/span><span class=\"larger\">If you are interested in our recruitment and selection service and how it can help you save time and money in choosing the right person for the role, please contact us on <strong>074 912 3150<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The word psychometric basically refers to the measurement of the mind.
