These can be given to a potential employee to assist managers in making an informed and fair decision.  \nThese assessments are not compulsory and should be used as one part of the information gathering and decision-making process. We recommend viewing the Psychometric Assessments online module to understand why we use psychometric assessments and the benefits. It outlines the different types of assessments such as personality and abilities tests, how to use the reports, interpreting ability test scores, and applying them in the selection process You can easily refer to the menu on the left-hand side of the screen to view the relevant topics.  \nPsychometric Assessments online module  \nBenefit of Assessments  \nAssessments offer managers an optional resource to use through the recruitment process to validate any potential employees for the specific role through informing predictions of future behaviour/performance. Using quality assessment profiling and ability assessments gives structured and measurable insights into an individual’s likely behaviours and ability levels. By matching this data to job-related or other benchmarks, probable strengths can be identified as well as areas where further training and development or initial job support may be required.  \nFactors to consider  \nAssessments are not compulsory. Consider the reasons you are doing the assessments before initiating the process. Psychometric assessments are consistent and impartial and can enhance the objectivity of the selection process but they should be used as an optional tool not a necessity. Assessments add value in the recruitment process when you have identified candidate's and require additional information to distinguish specific criteria.  \nThe MyHR Services team can help you verify whether assessments would be beneficial for your spec fic vacancy and at what stage they should take place.  \nMyHR Services team  \nAssessments can take time depending on what/how many tests you want the potential employee to do. All assessments and feedback to candidates is carried out by a trained test administrator. It is important to take this into consideration with your recruitment timeframes. There is a cost involved with each test. It is important to factor this into your recruitment costs.  \nHow do I organise testing?  \nContact the MyHR Services team with the following information:  \nWe shape an education system that delivers equitable and excellent outcomes Last saved: 2/06/2021 8:44:00 AM  \nHe mea tārai e mātou te mātauranga kia rangatira ai, kia mana taurite ai ōna huanga  \nconsidered at all times and information is shared only to the specific parties that are part of the final recruiting decision. Test results are kept for three years and then destroyed.  \nFor more information on how to use and interpret the reports, look at the Psychometric Assessments online module.  \nNote: there may be a need for an applicant to repeat their tests. The main reasons for this would be:  \n􀁸 applicant is applying for another role 18 months after they have completed specific tests  \n􀁸 applicant is applying for another role that may require different assessments  \n􀁸 hiring manager may want to verify test results so candidate may be invited to re-test.  \nOther Assessments  \nThere are a range of other assessment tools and exercises for assessing certain competencies, for example written exercises, work samples and presentations. Assessment tools such as role plays, simulations and group exercises must be developed and conducted by properly qualified assessors. If you intend to use any of these tools, please contact the MyHR Services team. They have a range of exercises already developed for particular positions that can assist in the assessment of applicants.
