HR.com publishes article by Polaris Assessment Systems on using testing to enhance the interview process
The testing stage can be used to ask a candidate dozens (or more than a hundred) pre-interview questions
Aurora, ON – Jan. 10, 2005
HR.com™, the largest research and Web destination for Senior HR Professionals, today published an article written by Dr. John D. Arnold, President of Polaris Assessment Systems, which outlines the benefits of incorporating test-type questioning in pre-interview applications. Results are tabulated and scored instantaneously, enabling the interviewer to pre-assess the candidate and ask questions based on the feedback received from the questions
According to the article, “The reasons for the popularity of these types of items include their strong predictive power and their low levels of adverse impact. Because of their ‘interview like’ appearance, candidates also tend to react more positively to these types of items than they do to many types of personality tests.”
Arnold gives examples of certain types of questions posed and how the results can be evaluated to determine at what level the candidate may score.
