Assessments Correlation to Performance

Across the world, standardized assessments are being used for hiring for the Team Lead role in the ITeS setup. Situation Judgment Tests (SJT) when combined with personality assessment have proven to be a valid tool for predicting the job performance of an individual. SJTs are simulation-based tests that simulate job scenarios and directly test whether the candidate will respond in the desired manner. In terms of job performance prediction for the mid-management level, SJTs have proved to be far superior as compared to traditional aptitude, domain, personality and similar tests. A large scale benchmarking study done on Operational Managers in a large ITeS organization showed that there was a strong correlation between candidates’ actual job performance and scores on AMCAT SJT and personality traits of Emotional Stability and Conscientiousness. Standardized benchmarks on these modules when used at the time of hiring can increase organizational efficiency by as much as 28%.
