Plus, it’s structured to be accessible and beneficial even if you have no prior knowledge in Psychometrics for Managers.

The Psychometrics and Personality Testing course offers an in-depth exploration into the use of psychometric tools within organisational settings, focusing specifically on personality assessments. These tools are pivotal in many aspects of employee management, including recruitment, development, and performance evaluation. With an increasing reliance on psychometrics for staff selection and development, this course provides critical insights into how these measures can be ethically and effectively applied in various professional contexts.

Psychometric testing, which assesses individuals’ aptitudes, abilities, and personality traits, has become a central component in modern human resources practices. The allure of personality testing stems from its potential to reveal insights into an individual’s behaviour, motivations, and suitability for specific roles. However, the field also faces challenges, particularly regarding the reliability and validity of commercially available tests. Non-specialists often struggle to distinguish between robust, scientifically validated tools and those that are less reliable but heavily marketed. This course addresses these issues by equipping learners with the knowledge to critically evaluate psychometric tests and understand their application.

The curriculum focuses extensively on personality testing, offering a detailed understanding of different types of assessments and their practical uses in organisational settings. Learners will gain insights into the principles underpinning personality assessments, including the theoretical frameworks that inform test design and interpretation. This understanding is essential for managers and HR professionals who may not be psychometric specialists but need to make informed decisions based on these assessments.

Additionally, the course provides foundational knowledge for those interested in pursuing further qualifications, such as becoming accredited with the British Psychological Society (BPS). It offers a preparatory overview of the requirements and competencies needed for these advanced qualifications, enabling participants to make informed decisions about their professional development in the field of psychometrics. For those considering accreditation as assessors for commercially available tests, the course also outlines key considerations and decision-making factors, ensuring that learners are well-prepared to undertake intensive, specialised training in this area.

Career Profile - Recruitment consultant


Career Profile


Recruitment consultants are the vital link between clients and candidates in a role that is demanding and diverse

As a recruitment consultant you’ll be responsible for attracting candidates for jobs and matching them to temporary or permanent positions with client companies. You’ll build positive relationships in order to gain a better understanding of your clients’ recruitment needs and requirements.

You’ll need to secure candidates by drafting advertising copy for use in a range of media, as well as by networking, headhunting and through referrals. You’ll screen candidates, interview and test them, run background checks and finally match them to clients.

You will also work on bringing in new clients to the agency to help with their staffing needs.

You may also be asked to provide advice to both clients and candidates on salary levels, training requirements and career opportunities.

Responsibilities
As a recruitment consultant, you’ll need to:

* use sales, business development and marketing techniques as well as networking skills to attract business from client companies
* visit clients to build and develop positive relationships
* develop a good understanding of client companies, their industry, what they do, their work culture and environment
* advertise vacancies by drafting and placing adverts
* use social media to advertise positions, attract candidates and build relationships
headhunt – identify and approach suitable candidates who may already be in work
* use candidate databases to match the right person to the client’s vacancy
* receive and review applications, manage interviews and tests and create a shortlist of candidates for the client
* request references and check the suitability of applicants before submitting their details to the client
* brief the candidate about the responsibilities, salary and benefits of the job
* prepare CVs and correspondence to forward to clients regarding suitable applicants
* organise interviews for candidates as requested by the client
* inform candidates about the results of interviews
* negotiate salaries and finalise arrangements between clients and candidates
* offer advice to both clients and candidates on pay rates, training and career progression
* work towards, and exceed, targets that may relate to the number of candidates placed, a value to be billed to clients or business leads generated
* review recruitment policies to ensure effectiveness of selection techniques and recruitment programmes.

Salary

Salaries vary across sectors and locations, but typically include a basic salary plus a performance-related bonus or commission. This can either be an individual, team or branch bonus. Basic salaries are highest in London.

* Trainee recruitment consultants start on a basic annual salary of £18,000 to £25,000.
* Recruitment consultants’ average salaries are around £24,000 to £30,000, with senior consultants earning in the region of £28,000 to £35,000, excluding bonuses or commission.
* Managers with 10 to 15 years’ experience can earn more than £40,000 (excluding bonuses or commission).
* Once bonuses and commission are included, the total average salary can increase to around or just over £40,000 for consultants and £60,000+ for managers.

Some vacancies advertise high OTE (on-target earning) salaries even for trainees. Promise of an initial high salary depends on your sales performance.

Other benefits include training, a company car, mobile phones, laptops, pension schemes, social functions and end-of-year rewards for the top billing consultant or department.

Working Hours

Your working day will cover the core hours of 9am to 5pm but working longer hours is common and may include early starts and evenings.

Self-employment or freelance work is possible, but only for consultants who have expert knowledge of a specialist sector and significant experience. Career breaks are possible in certain circumstances but are uncommon due to the dynamic nature of the sector.

What to expect

* The role can be challenging due to targets but also exciting as the profession is fast-paced and rewarding.
* Work is office based but time is also spent outside the office, meeting with clients and interviewing candidates, therefore a smart personal appearance is important.
* Opportunities exist throughout the UK, although more jobs are available in large cities.
* Travel within the working day may be required to meet with clients.
* Overseas travel is less common unless you are working within travel-related industries or for a niche market. Overseas work is possible, however, with large companies that have overseas branches.

Skills

You’ll need to have:

* excellent interpersonal and communication skills
* sales and negotiation skills
* a goal-orientated approach to work
* the ability to handle multiple priorities
* problem-solving ability
* the ability to meet deadlines and targets
* ambition and the determination to succeed
* tenacity
* confidence and self-motivation
* time management and organisational skills
* teamworking skills
* creativity.

You must also enjoy working in a high-pressure environment and the responsibility that comes with it.

Career prospects

As the role is target driven, progression largely depends on achieving and exceeding set targets. Career development depends on the size and structure of your employer and, if working for a small company, you may need to change employer or location to progress. The ability to sustain a strong performance is vital.

Progression from consultant is usually to senior consultant or account manager. Progression to team leader or to managerial positions, such as branch manager, requires additional people management and financial skills. For large organisations with many branches, it may be possible to move into area and regional management.

It’s also possible to develop your own market, become involved in training new recruits or specialise in a specific area, such as executives, or a specific industry. With significant experience and strong contacts it may be possible to set up your own agency.

Membership of the REC or the CIPD may be useful for career development and networking opportunities.

The role of a recruitment consultant can be used as a platform to build experience and contacts to move in to other areas like human resources (HR), training and other sales and management roles.

Grading & How it Works

The UK has a unique higher education grading system. Its most unique feature compared to traditional grading systems is that it aims to be more specific in describing students’ academic achievement.

This type of assessment method is highly valued because it offers many advantages. Most importantly it highlights your academic strengths and specific skills, therefore, it helps employers gain a better understanding of your true potential.

Since it is proved to be such an efficient tool to assess students’ performance, many foreign countries like Canada, Australia and India are using the same grading system on some occasions with small changes to fit into their own local educational context.

We use a letter grade scale from A to F to indicate the students’ academic performance. If you get an A it means you have shown outstanding knowledge whereas if you get an F it means your score is not sufficient to pass the exam.
