Psychological Services - Pre-employment Assessment
PMRC has had significant experience in the assessment and evaluation of employees. Business organizations in both the public and private sectors are continuing to recognise the importance of employee assessment for a variety of reasons. Purposes for employee assessment include pre-employment testing and evaluation, evaluation of current job functioning or fitness for duty evaluations and the assessment for promotion and special assignment.
Pre-employment assessments can be an important tool in helping an organization evaluate the fit between the demands of a particular job and the culture of an organization, with the unique strengths and characteristics of a job candidate.
Assessment may include formal testing through the use of valid and reliable questionnaires, clinical interviews or combination of the two methods. Assessment may be used as a screening tool before a conditional job offer is extended, or as a more direct and involved evaluation to consider a particular candidate's characteristics after a conditional job offer has been made.
