I've known some companies where the hirer gets so pissed off because they've interviewed and found someone who they know is good but HR block the hire because of some daft psychometric test results. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colhint Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 My friend worked in recruitment. On one job he supplied 20 suitable applicants. When he showed them to the manager of the company. He threw half of them away without looking at them. My friend asked in disbelief why. The guy replied you don't want to employ unlucky people. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 A mate of mine was hiring, found a guy, interviewed him and he was perfect. HR came along and said he spectacularly failed the personality tests. When they told him he wasn’t successful he wrote them an expletive laden email to them all calling them words removed and he wasn’t going to stay even if he got the job. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted April 29, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 29, 2022 Dunno if it's still the case, but as recently as the 1990s, most French companies insisted on handwritten job applications, as they took handwriting seriously as an indicator of personality, and employed 'experts' to assess them - despite the fact that it has has much scientific validity as astrology.

My 16yr lad just had to go through a 100 question assessment for an HSBC apprenticeship. At the end of it he said to me "not sure I really want to work here Dad" 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a tedious process anyway to look for a job but all this variants of tests is doing my head in. My job application was quite simple really.I am a qualified plastic technician ( with 5 certificates in Extrusion,Blow molding,Compression moulding ,injection moulding and P.E.T. moulding.When I applied for a job at the largest plastic factory in Perth,I was turned down because my certificates were not valid in Australia.I can understand that but instead of letting an applicant just go ( with all that experiance and knowledge ) I would have thought taking me on as a leading hand/foreman or similar would have been a better move on the part of the company.Instead I went on to work as a storeman/forklift driver for a soft drink factory.Such is life.

foreveryoung Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 They have just done the road outside our house. I thought the days of sticky tarmac and gravel surfacing was a thing of the past. I'm not very happy having to use my brand new car as a steam roller everytime I drive down it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
