Tools for Testing

Why test?
Ever wish you had a crystal ball to help you determine whether a candidate is right for you? Candidates are smart and prepared. They rehearse for interviews and have the answers to many of your questions in advance. When hiring you want to use testing tools to probe deeper and find the hidden strengths and weaknesses that are difficult to identify from a few hours of interviewing. .
Take the guesswork out of finding the right person for the right job with PSG’s easy-to-take DISC analysis. Testing takes very little time, turnaround is rapid and it’s extremely cost effective.

DISC Analysis:
The DISC analysis measures four key facets of a candidate's behavior:

Dominance Response to challenges and problems.
Influence Influence over others.
Steadiness Response to the pace of the environment.
Compliance Compliance with rules and procedures.

It also provides:

  • The ideal characteristics for the job as demonstrated by those most successful.
  • The candidate’s behavioral characteristics.
  • Insights into the candidate’s value to the organization plus tips for better communication, the ideal environment, keys to motivating and areas for improvement.

The comprehensive DISC report also enables a manager to manage the new employee more effectively with the insights gained from the testing.

Case Study Testing:

  • Case studies, designed for specific position and industry requirements enable candidates to demonstrate communication, analytical, problem-solving, management, interpersonal and other competencies identified in the candidate profile, including industry and functional knowledge.
  • The cases are scored in relation to the ideal candidate profile and criteria relating to the problems posed. Focused questions enable the interviewer to determine whether apparent weaknesses are real.

Role of Performance Solutions Group:

  • We conduct the testing, which can be taken at any time either electronically or using hard copy.
  • On receipt of the completed DISC questionnaire submitted directly by the candidate, we prepare the report and summary results.
  • We assist, as required, in developing the cases.

Test results are not the ultimate decider. The company’s decision is based on how the candidate responds to interviewing, interactions with the selection committee and track record of success, used in conjunction with the test results.
