Psychometric Testing and Employment

Synopsis: Psychometric testing is a key stage in the recruitment process for many employers, and understanding what is involved in the testing process can prove invaluable for employee candidates. This interview-led documentary-style video explains what psychometric testing is and why it is used, the various types of psychometric tests candidates might encounter, how to prepare for tests, and the advantages and disadvantages of psychometric testing.

Those interviewed for the resource include Mandy Jones, careers consultant at Cardiff University, clinical psychologist Dr Simon Kensella, Melissa Martin, director of the Clarity Group, Becky Bevans, HR consultant for Pardos Bevans Consulting, and Prue Laurence, consulting psychologist and director of Psylutions.

Suited to senior secondary and Higher Education and also for those seeking employment or a change of career, it is also a great resource in the fields of psychology, business studies and career guidance.
