Psychometric Testing
Perth

Are you tired of hiring the wrong person? Do you want to improve the quality of your recruitment decisions? Are you looking to save time in the recruitment process?
Many businesses and organisations deal with these kinds of challenges. If you'd like a solution to help prevent hiring mistakes, Fermion's psychometric testing in Perth could be a valuable addition to your recruitment process.

The Problem
The recruitment process involves assessing candidates' strengths, skills, and potential to determine their suitability for a role. While candidates showcase their abilities, employers are focused on evaluating how these qualities align with the needs of the organisation. However, recruiters may also have personal biases and can have moments when they are distracted, not feeling their best, or not fully focused, which can lead them to overlook a good candidate who might be a great fit for the role.
While interviews and reference checks are essential, the key to an effective selection process lies in timing, asking the right questions, and incorporating psychometric assessments when appropriate.

The Impact of Mis-Hires
Hiring the wrong person can be a costly mistake. Beyond the direct costs of termination, there’s also the lost productivity and the time invested in finding and training a replacement. The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) estimates that it takes six to nine months of an employee's annual salary to replace them, which means that for an employee earning $60,000 a year, it can cost between $30,000 and $45,000 to recruit and train a replacement. This doesn’t even include the money lost from missed business opportunities during that time.

Our Solution
Psychometric testing, whether it is IQ, EQ, or personality profiling, enhances the reliability of structured interviews by providing a more complete view of candidates. This helps improve recruitment decisions by not only assessing their skills and experience but also their cultural fit and growth potential.
Research shows that traditional interviews alone are not the best predictor of future performance. That's why Fermion provides high-quality, online psychometric tests throughout Perth and all of Western Australia to help companies across the region improve their recruitment processes.
