The Career Management Center Presents: Personality Assessments in Recruiting and Hiring

Surveys conducted by the Society for Human Resource Management suggest that organizations increasingly rely on psychological assessments when hiring and developing their people. When used correctly, cognitive and personality tests can increase the chances that new employees will succeed or that existing employees will perform well if they are promoted. Unfortunately, too many organizations use the wrong psychometric assessments in the wrong way. Please join us as author, consultant, and executive coach, Ben Dattner, Ph.D., discusses what organizations need to know in order to minimize potential risks and maximize the predictive accuracy of these tests. Whether you are a hiring manager or a job candidate, this session will provide helpful insights about the pros and cons of these powerful tools.
