Companies cut recruitment costs with Psychometrics

Employers use of psychometric testing is changing.

It has been common place to find yourself at an interview and being presented with a psychometric test prior to the process starting.

But the realisation by some employers is that using online psychometric tests at the application stage, can be part of the filtering process to identify suitability to a particular job function.

One example is Supermarket giant Asda. They integrated an automated personality recruitment tool to cut the number of first-round interviews required. It was in preparation for a national recruitment campaign of 7,000 new staff.

It was hoped at the time that the online system would reduce costs significantly by filtering candidates, automatically progressing those who's test scores match the organisations requirements and flagging others that would require further investigation.

In the past, like many organisations, Asda relied on interviews and CVs to assess applicant suitability. The testing system and the way in which it reveals applicants personality prior to the interview stage means that the company will only have to interview 20% of the candidates rather than 50% as before.
