Recruitment and Selection

The recruitment and selection psychometrics, coupled with interviews and capability testing provide employers with reliable data to make confident and informed talent decisions.

Psychometric Tools for Recruitment and Selection:

Employee Screening Instrument and Workplace Personality Index (WPI) Select Report

When it comes to Recruitment and Selection, employers face the challenge of finding the right candidates who not only possess the necessary skills and qualifications but also fit well within the company culture. To aid employers in this process, Blu Ripples offers two types of online recruitment and selection psychometric tools: the Employee Screening Instrument and the Workplace Personality Index (WPI) Select Report. These tools are designed to provide valuable insights into candidates’ behaviours and characteristics, helping employers make informed decisions during the hiring process.

Employee Screening Instrument

The Employee Screening Instrument is specifically designed to identify a candidate’s counterproductive workplace behaviors, productivity, and dependable characteristics. It serves as a valuable tool within the recruitment and selection phase, enabling employers to gain a deeper understanding of a candidate’s potential fit within the organisation.

By utilising the Employee Screening Instrument, employers can assess a candidate’s positive behaviours, such as accuracy, commitment, job satisfaction, customer service, and organisational commitment. These positive behaviours are crucial indicators of an individual’s potential to contribute positively to the workplace environment, ensuring a productive and harmonious work atmosphere.

Furthermore, the Employee Screening Instrument also highlights any counterproductive behaviors that a candidate may exhibit. This information is vital for employers as it allows them to identify potential red flags and make informed decisions regarding a candidate’s suitability for a particular role or within the organisation as a whole.

Workplace Personality Index (WPI) Select Report

The Workplace Personality Index (WPI) Select Report is another valuable tool offered by Blu Ripples to assist employers in the skills matrix assessment process. This report is designed to provide in-depth insights into a candidate’s behaviour, personality type, and workplace preferences.

By utiliding the Workplace Personality Index (WPI) Select Report, employers can gain a comprehensive understanding of a candidate’s behavior and how they are likely to perform in a professional setting. The report assesses various aspects such as communication style, decision-making approach, leadership potential, teamwork orientation, and problem-solving abilities.

Employers can leverage this information to make well-informed decisions during the recruitment and selection process. The Workplace Personality Index (WPI) Select Report helps employers match candidates with roles that align with their personality type and workplace preferences, ensuring a better fit and higher chances of long-term success within the organisation.
