There is a high cost when a company employs incompetent people. The employers must also consider a pre-employed person’s personality and background history. Their personalities are often predictors of what their job performance will be like. Assessing a candidate’s behavior in certain work environments will enable the employers to know whether they are suitable for the certain job position they are applying for, as well as the culture of the people working in the company.
There’s a lot more to consider before hiring someone for a specific job. Traditionally, the employers rely on the pre-employed person’s curriculum vitae (CV) that consists of their education, work experiences and skills, then the candidates are assessed during the interview. By doing this, it could be difficult for the employers to determine if a candidate will be successful in their position or not.
With the help of technology, assessing one’s fit has become more accurate and easier to do, which is why most employers rely on background screening and online assessments before hiring a new employee.
Lately, there have also been a steady increase in different Personality Assessments that companies use for hiring their employees. These kinds of assessments helps the employers identify the pre-employed person’s traits, behavior and performance which will give them the idea of what the person will be like in the workplace. Personality assessments capture a person’s “tendencies” and are able to identify a person’s leadership skills, sociability, confidence and other traits that are needed for working in the company.
Background Screening and Personality Assessments are also used to identify what position/s fit best for the pre-employed person. For example: A company is hiring senior executives. For this, the company will be assessing their overall personality traits. When a company hires a waiter/waitress, they will be assessing their social and communication skills.
Employees who aren’t able to pass the background screening and assessments will not be able to fit the company’s standards which means that they will eventually underperform or cause liabilities to the company. This is why it is important for companies to consider personality assessments and proper background screening since this will help the employers and the company hire the right people in the right positions.
