Psychometric tests significantly minimise unconscious bias, especially useful when screening large candidate pools. According to the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (2022), these assessments consistently demonstrate fairness and objectivity, quickly identifying candidates with foundational competencies and reducing subjective hiring decisions.
Gartner's Talent Management Report (2022) further highlights this benefit, noting that psychometric assessments improve recruitment efficiency by reducing screening time by over 60%, enabling companies to efficiently process significantly larger applicant volumes without sacrificing quality.

Cognitive ability assessments are particularly valuable in technical and analytical roles where problem-solving skills and critical thinking are essential. Decades of research underscore their predictive power, with Frank L. Schmidt's comprehensive meta-analysis (2016) reaffirming that cognitive tests frequently outperform structured interviews and even technical skill tests in predicting job performance.
Dr. Paul Sackett of the University of Minnesota summarised the evidence clearly: "Cognitive ability tests are unmatched in predicting future performance in technical and complex problem-solving roles" (SHRM, 2021).

Personality and behavioural assessments can significantly enhance the understanding of a candidate’s potential cultural alignment and team compatibility. Harvard Business Review (2021) emphasises their usefulness when thoughtfully combined with structured interviews and reference checks.
Hogan Assessments Research (2023) also supports this view, indicating that personality assessments - when aligned specifically with role competencies - increase the accuracy of predicting cultural fit and long-term job satisfaction by around 30%.
This resource provides more than just advice - it equips candidates with actionable insights grounded in robust research and real-world hiring practices. We believe strongly in empowering specialists to approach psychometric assessments strategically and authentically, ultimately ensuring their true expertise and potential are effectively recognised by prospective employers.
