The goal of an interview should not be to hire the job candidate; it should be to make sure there is a job match. Pre-employment testing should help match the individual to the job and help build teams.
In football, a team of eleven players who were all quarterbacks, would make a very ineffective team. The team would still need blockers and receivers and running backs. Like a coach, you must maximize the performance of your team. By matching aptitudes and personalities to a particular job, you are helping your company not only by building better people, but you are also helping the individual maximize their potential.
There is no absolute guarantee on both sides (employer and employee) that a new hire will work out. It is a gamble. But with tools such as personal assessments to help, you can increase your odds. An article in Fast Company Magazine said “the mistake that most companies make is finding the person with the right skill set but the wrong mind set and hiring that person anyway with the belief that they can change them”.
Not only does pre-employment testing improve the odds in hiring quality people but it improves your chances in managing them effectively.
“We do not build companies, we build people who build companies.” ~ Jim McEachern
