A Revolution in Psychometric Testing to Increase Efficiency and Accuracy of Employee Recruitment

尽管在招聘过程中广泛和长期使用心理测量测试，但研究表明，限制使75%的组织希望采用新的改进方法进行招聘前评估（CEB，2013），例如自我报告导致不准确，候选人可能伪造结果;完成时间长（约1小时）; 20英镑（短期基本）-300英镑（包括）的高成本。详细的反馈），不经济/不适合中小企业;压力效应;高辍学率（~20%）;受实践影响=>有利于较高的社会经济群体，使其能够获得实践测试/支持的资金。基于游戏的评估（GBA）是一个新兴的领域，它使用视频游戏来克服这些限制，通过测量实际的行为和决策，因此提供了一个更客观，更难伪造的评估过程。然而，由于目前的供应商采用了糟糕的商业模式，市场占有率有限，游戏的行业吸引力狭窄，科学有效性差。MindX Limited（MXL）将完成一个为期15个月的实验开发项目，以开发MindX;一个GBA招聘平台，包括3个公正，科学验证的视频游戏，一个经理门户网站和分析工具。它将通过首次对候选人进行准确，快速（15分钟/候选人，而竞争对手为30分钟）和具有成本效益（5英镑/评估，而竞争对手为20- 300英镑）的评估来扰乱全球招聘行业=>使中小企业和大型组织能够采用这种方法。

Despite widespread & longstanding use of psychometric testing during recruitment, studies have shown that limitations leave 75% of organisations desiring new improved approaches to pre-hire assessment (CEB, 2013) e.g. self-reporting causes inaccuracies, candidates may falsify results; lengthy time to complete (~1hour); high cost of £20 (short basic) - £300 (incl. detailed feedback) which is not economical/suitable for SMEs; stressful effect; high dropout rates (~20%); subject to practice effect => favour higher socioeconomic groups with access to funds for practice tests/support. Games Based Assessment (GBA) is an emerging field which uses video games to overcome these limitations by measuring actual behaviours & decisions, therefore providing an assessment process which is more objective & harder to falsify. Market uptake is however limited with current suppliers adopting poor commercial models, games having narrow sector appeal & poor scientific validity. MindX Limited (MXL) will complete a 15-month Experimental Development project to develop MindX; a GBA recruitment platform including 3 unbiased, scientifically validated video games, a manager portal & analytical tools. It will disrupt the global recruitment industry by enabling accurate, rapid (15mins/candidate compared to 30mins for competitors) & cost effective (£5/assessment compared to £20-£300 for competitors) assessment of candidates for the first time => enabling SMEs as well as large orgs to adopt the approach.
