Magazine reports that personality assessments can be particularly beneficial for smaller employers as well, \u201cwhere the impact of hiring the wrong worker has a disproportionate effect\u201d on organisational performance. By matching potential candidates to specific positions based on the requirement of that position gives the employer a better insight into expected performance and employee interaction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>As an example, you might want to hire an outbound sales person, so you bring in two candidates who have applied for this position and you give them both a <a title=\"\/personality-test\/sales-aptitude-test\/\" href=\"\/personality-test\/sales-aptitude-test\/\" target=\"_blank\">psychometric sales apptitude test<\/a> as provided by pdtraining.\u00a0<\/strong>The results come back for one applicant as energetic and extroverted while the other candidate is introverted and prefers research, it becomes quite obvious who would be a better fit for that particular position. On the other hand however, if you wanted to hire a grant writer, having a gregarious, extroverted personality might actually be a negative for this detail-oriented position.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By making a small investment in a personality test BEFORE you hire a new staff member can save you much\u00a0in future.<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #0433ff;\"><a title=\"\/blog\/executive-assistant-traning\/must-have-skills-essential-skills-pas-secretaries-training-sydney-melbourne\/\" href=\"\/blog\/executive-assistant-traning\/must-have-skills-essential-skills-pas-secretaries-training-sydney-melbourne\/\" target=\"_blank\">Related Article&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0433ff;\"><a href=\"\/pd-training-reviews\"><b>Pdtraining <\/b><\/a><\/span><b>delivers 1000\u2019s of professional development courses each year in Brisbane, Sydney, Parramatta, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra and Perth, so you can be assured your training will be delivered by a qualified and experienced trainer.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>All public<\/b><b>\u00a0courses include am\/pm tea, lunch, printed courseware and a certificate of completion.\u00a0 Customised courses are available upon request so please contact pdtraining on\u00a01300 121 400 to learn more.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Using\u00a0personality profiling helps\u00a0to avoid costly hiring mistakes.
