Pre Employment Testing (Psychometric Testing) – How to Solve Problems Before They OccurHere’s a question for you. Do the people you hire solve problems or create new ones? I know what your answer should be. But, that’s not always the case.I’d like to share a story I read in a book called Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins many years ago that I think really illustrates a common sense approach to improving almost any business. It pre employment assessments help yours.It’s the story of a man standing on the shores of a river. Out in the current he sees someone struggling and screaming for help. He dives in, makes a daring rescue and pulls the drowning victim to safety. He lies on the beach, exhausted, only to look up and see two more people hollering for help. He dives in, pulls both to safety and is completely exhausted. All of his energy is spent. The second he looks up, he sees four more people coming down the stream screaming employment assessments help.The moral of the story is that if he had just taken the time to walk a short distance up the river, he would have discovered the ONE person throwing all these people in the river in the first place. He could have saved all his time, energy and resources addressing a SINGLE cause up the river instead of the MANY effects downstream.How many times have you seen managers attempt to solve your business problems downriver? For example, let’s suppose that you recognize a problem with employee theft. Your managers would be likely to spend a bunch of time and resources correcting the problem. They might do things like interview security companies or buy surveillance equipment.Wouldn’t it just be easier to solve a problem like that in advance, before it occurred by hiring the right people for your jobs in the first place? Think about it. If you want to reduce employee theft, then hire honest people.Pre employment tests (psychometric tests) exist that can help you find out if people are honest, reliable and drug free before you offer them a job. You can use employment assessment tools to find out if salespeople can sell, if managers can manage and if workers are likely to show up for work on time. The right employment assessments can help you solve some of your most pressing business challenges before they occur.
