What is personality testing for employment?

A personality test for employment is a valuable tool that allows you to gain insight into the character traits and behaviors of job candidates. For instance, using a professionally developed personality test for hiring can help you identify whether a candidate is introverted or extroverted, patient or impatient, etc.

An employee personality test can help you spot character traits you’ve identified as being important for a particular job. If you need someone who’s detail-oriented for an accounting job, you can use an employee personality test to find candidates with that trait.

Improve Your Interviews Before They Ever Start

Finding the right employees is a daunting task. A resume, cover letter or even an aptitude or skills test will only tell you so much. That’s why the job interview process is key. But which questions will reveal whether a candidate will succeed in your unique work situation?

The Hire Success^® Personality Profile is the most advanced personality profile tool on the market. It not only identifies candidates’ personality traits but also teases out the nuances within those traits. Even better, it suggests job interview questions tailored to each candidate — along with the answers you should receive. Unlike any other new-hire personality test, the Hire Success^® Personality Profile gives you the confidence you need to conduct structured, objective, in-depth job interviews that lead to better hiring decisions.

Why should you use the Hire Success pre-employment personality test for hiring?

The Hire Success hiring personality test is unlike any other, helping hiring managers make rock-solid decisions since 1999. It paints a detailed picture of your candidates and gives you the tools to turn that analysis into actionable hiring steps. That means:

More consistency in hiring

A person's resume won't tell you whether they’re the best person for the job – and that means the job interview is crucial. Our employee personality test provides a reliable, consistent way of evaluating each applicant before you conduct interviews.

Improved management relationships

With the Hire Success® Personality Profile, you can discover hidden talents and skills of current employees and make sure they’re given the chance to use them. Plus, you'll be able to better manage your team members and help them – and your business – improve and succeed.

Reduced employee turnover - and expenses

With personality tests, you can identify key traits in your best employees and hire people with known "success factors" to minimize turnover, improve job satisfaction, and reduce hiring costs.

Enhanced understanding of job applicants

Getting insight about candidates’ personalities helps you better understand applicants in advance. Plus, it helps you focus on the most important issues during job interviews – and gives you the chance to develop additional job interview questions for discussion to help you make the right choice.

What can a pre-employment personality test measure?

A personality test for a new hire can measure aspects of personality which are relevant to the workplace and to the job you’re hiring for.

For example, pre-employment personality tests evaluate character traits and behaviors such as:

How someone interacts with others, and whether they are more social and outgoing (extroverted) or quiet and reserved (introverted).

How a candidate handles work tasks, such as whether they prefer to remain focused on one task at a time or are comfortable handling many projects at once.

Whether candidates are flexible and adaptable or are resistant to change in their work environment.
