The Fixed Price Recruitment Company.  Our psychometric tool included in our services

The Fixed Price Recruitment Company include psychometric profiling both of their recruitment services and it is proven to radically increase the effectiveness of interviews.  

 

The PIP, or Personality Identity Profiler, tool gives you a validated indication of how the candidate prefers to work and offers in depth interview questions.  It is a powerful interviewing tool particularly when used with competency based interviewing (see client advice pages for more information).

 

The psychometric is in the form of a ‘Personality Questionnaire’ and takes around 7 minutes for each candidate to complete.  Candidates complete the test online and we recommend that they undertake the questionnaire at home in a comfortable and quiet area.

 

Candidates often comment that they enjoyed undertaking the questionnaire and we share the results and the report with each candidate after your interview.

 

The questionnaire is 80 adjectives which the candidate has to answer from ‘not at all like me’ to ‘very much like me’ from a scale of five answers.  The questionnaire has to be answered in how they choose to behave in a workplace environment.  

 

The PIP Report looks at eight key personality traits in the workplace:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The software that we use is PIP (Personality Identity Profiler).  We choose this tool for three reasons:

 

1. It is simple for a candidate to complete and is a self-test, i.e. how the candidate thinks about themselves in the workplace.  It is therefore a fair tool to use in any recruitment process
2. It is a highly validated tool yet you do not have to be qualified in order to read and understand the results
3. It is not an ipsative test, i.e. You don’t have to choose a word which is more like you and a word which is least like you which means that the resulting profile has a greater degree of accuracy.

At the end of the report it also indicates the candidate’s preferred working environment based upon the answers that they have given.  

                                      

PIP is a fast and simple pre-interview guide which when used effectively allows you to quickly ‘get beneath the skin’ of each candidate ensuring that you conduct a professional and powerful interview.

 

Your Fixed Price Recruitment consultant will brief you on how to effectively use the tool as part of your recruitment process.  

 

In addition, as many of our consultants are British Psychological Society qualified we are also able to offer a wide range of alternative psychometric tools at additional cost.
