Psychometric Testing
Sydney

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?
Challenges like these are common for many organisations and businesses in NSW today. To help reduce the risk of hiring mistakes, consider integrating Fermion’s psychometric testing in Sydney into your recruitment strategy.

The Problem
The recruitment process involves evaluating candidates' strengths, skills, and potential to assess their fit for a role. While candidates highlight their abilities, employers aim to determine how these traits match the organisation's needs. However, recruiters are human and can be influenced by personal biases or distractions, which may cause them to overlook a candidate who could be an excellent fit.
Although cognitive assessment, interviews, and reference checks are crucial, a successful selection process depends on timing, the person conducting the interview, the types of questions asked, and knowing when to integrate psychometric testing.

The Impact of Mis-Hires
Hiring mistakes come with a high price tag. From separation expenses and reduced productivity to the time spent sourcing and training a replacement, the cost of turnover is significant. According to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), replacing an employee can cost a company six to nine months' worth of that employee’s annual salary. For a position with a $60,000 salary, the replacement cost could fall between $30,000 and $45,000 in recruiting and training expenses, not including the lost opportunities.

Our Solution
Psychometric tests, whether they involve IQ tests, EQ tests, cognitive assessments, or personality profiling, complement structured interviews by offering a fuller picture of candidates. This allows for better recruitment decisions, as it evaluates not just their skills and experience, but also their cultural fit and potential for growth.
Studies show that relying solely on traditional interviews is not the most reliable way to predict future performance. That’s why Fermion offers high-quality, online psychometric tests to enhance the recruitment process. We are independent and not tied to any specific test provider, but we carefully select the most effective psychometric assessment tools, all based on the latest research.
