Recruitment Methods
Assessment Centre
The name given to the venue where a range of
recruitment and selection exercises are
administered
Psychometric Tests
A way of assessing a persons ability or personality in a
measured and structured way.
Ability
Personality
Interest
Ability Test
There are 2 types of ability tests:
Attainment tests
Examine the skills and knowledge you already possess
Designed to assess what you know at the time of the test i.e.
driving test or a word processing test
Aptitude tests
A measure of your potential for certain activities
Do not rely on any previous knowledge or training, but more on your
natural ability or aptitude
Most common tests - verbal and numerical reasoning
Personality Test
Designed to allow organisations to measure aspects
of personality
There are no right or wrong answers
They seek to present a picture of how a person will
behave in particular circumstances
Interest Tests
Questionnaires that examine a persons interests
Often used in careers guidance
Useful in the selection process as they enable the
employer to know if the candidate is a suitable
match for their vacancy.
Role Plays
Can be conducted as part of the initial screening
process at Assessment Centre or alternatively may
form part of the interview process
Used to test the candidates ability to:
work as part of a team
use of initiative and problem solving skills
cope under pressure
Presentations
Initially associated with the recruitment of Executive
or Sales & Marketing related roles
As roles become more technologically driven the
candidate may be asked to compile a presentation to
illustrate their design or IT capabilities
Some employers merely use this as a means of
testing a candidates level of confidence and ability
to cope under pressure
