HR Coffee Time 075 | What psychometrics are, how you can use them & why they’re so helpful, with Sue Colton
Psychometrics can be used in a huge range of ways to help you achieve your HR and People goals at work. They’re incredibly popular as part of the recruitment process for hiring new talent at all levels. And some of the many other things they’re used for include leadership development programmes; team building activities and conflict resolution.
Whether you’ve been using psychometric assessments for years and know quite a lot about them, or you’ve never used them at all, or you sit somewhere in the middle and have used a couple of them and know a bit about them but would like to know more – this episode is here to help.
Business Psychologist Sue Colton explains what psychometric assessments are, how you can use them & why they’re so helpful.
