KEY BENEFITS
How verbal reasoning tests minimise hiring and promotion risks:
Verbal reasoning tests assist in improving quality of hire
Most positions require the ability to quickly identify and analyse data, and also draw conclusions. Hence, by using a verbal reasoning test you are ensuring that you are getting the right person who is able to competently perform the verbal component of any required tasks.
Verbal reasoning tests reduces "bad-hire" risks
The verbal reasoning test is an objective, scientific measurement of individuals' capacity to comprehend, analyse and interpret written information. Therefore, the rater biases from job interviews and resumes are greatly minimised. Resumes and job interviews can be poor predictors of job performance, as in both situations you are analysing the individual's capability to sell themselves rather than ability to perform the required job-specific responsibilities.
