Survey of Portland-Area
Organizations
on the Use of Tests and Assessments in Employee Selection
|
Tests and assessments are being
utilized more and more frequently in the hiring process as organizations
recognize their value in improving hiring outcomes. SHAPE Consulting
recently partnered with the Portland Human
Resource Management Association to learn more about the selection
practices of organizations in the Portland metro area. A total of 282 HR and
staffing professionals responded to email requests to complete the online
survey. Over half of the respondents (55%) indicated that their
organizations use some type of pre-employment tests or assessments (not
including drug testing) during the hiring process. The survey addressed such
things as the types of testing being used, the positions for which it is
being used, as well as its effectiveness for addressing various issues. The
survey also looked at the reasons why tests and assessments are not being
used.
