Assessments: Organizations in 2007 will increasingly turn to personality
tests when recruiting and hiring, according to Birkman International in
Houston. Birkman, citing research from New Orleans-based Rocket-Hire Inc. (a
Dear Workforce contributor), says 65 percent of companies used them in 2006, up
from 34 percent a year earlier. Of companies that don’t use them currently, 62
percent expect to use “at least one in the future.” About one-quarter are
considering assessments for personality measurement, with another 25 percent
considering them to determine if a candidate has the right fit with their
organization.
