Our solutions

We are proud to offer two specialist solutions, each designed to assess a distinct set of skills and specifically designed to combine accuracy and efficiency, but also to ensure that the “candidate journey” is representative of your brand, meaning an increased buy-in to the process and more accurate responses.

Ability - This is our basic offering, designed to test an applicant’s knowledge in three key areas:

• Verbal

• Numerical

• Logical

We utilise “adaptive testing”, where the test actually adapts to candidates ability, meaning that the test varies the difficulty of the questions, based on the previous responses.  Allowing us to obtain a significantly more accurate representation of ability, while maximising the candidate experience by reducing the number of questions required.

Behavioral
For the last decade, more complex profiling has been done via “Personality tests”, designed to assess what an individual would do in a given set of circumstances. However, IDEX have embraced the next generation of testing, Behavioral profiling.

Instead of focusing on what we do in a given circumstance, these tests focus on why we do it, allowing for a more accurate and detailed analysis of the applicant’s personality and therefore an effective predictor of performance at work. This is because we tend to focus more on the kind of tasks we prefer engaging with, and as a consequence, we become much more skilled in these areas.

This question format is a more effective way of identifying the candidates true preferences, because it minimizes the risk of ‘faking’ their answers to make a good impression.

By building these tests into the recruitment process, ideally after the 1st stage, you will be provided with a tailored set of questions to use at 2nd interview that are specifically designed to probe areas highlighted in the candidates testing. Giving you a much more thorough and robust interview process and further minimising the risk of a bad hire.

Why use Psychometric testing

• Assessments provide an independent and scientific measure of a candidate’s competencies, abilities, personality and motivation.

• Provides guidance on interview questions, allowing you to specifically address areas of concern.

• By selecting the most appropriate test, you can ensure that you hire the right person first time, thereby reducing the cost of hire against more traditional processes.

• As part of an appraisal review or Learning & Development programme, where Psychometric testing can be used to gain valuable insight into individual strengths and development areas, as well as seeing how the team works together.
