Psychometric Assessment
Public Sector & Government
Powerfully predictive psychometrics tailored for governmental departments and public sector organisations.
In the dynamic realm of government and public sector services, where constant scrutiny and adaptability are vital, recruiting professionals with the right skills is crucial.
As an employer, ensuring that the individuals you recruit meet the high expectations is essential. While a promising CV and an impressive work history may be presented, it is imperative to ascertain whether these qualifications on paper truly translate into practical skills.
This is where Clevry’s public sector and governmental tests prove invaluable. Designed specifically for this purpose, these tests can be efficiently administered at scale, making them ideal for high-volume recruitment. By objectively comparing each applicant based on comprehensive test report data, you can create a shortlist of the most talented individuals within your applicant pool.
By implementing psychometrics, you effectively differentiate candidates who possess the necessary skills to succeed from those who may fall short. Moreover, the expertise behind the design of these tests ensures that the evaluation criteria are highly relevant, enabling you to make well-informed decisions.
Public sector & government
Public sector pre-work assessments
Psychometric tests provide government departments with a fairer and more objective way of measuring candidates skills and abilities such as cognitive ability, abstract, critical, verbal and numerical reasoning and behavioural style.
For a test to be considered ‘psychometric’, it must be standardised, reliable and valid. It also has to be consistent in its content, administration and scoring. This ensures the test is accurate and measures what it is supposed to, whilst omitting the influence of subjective biases.
