OceanaGold way – ‘A company people trust, want to work and partner with, to create value.
We have utilised People Central for our psychometric & competency testing needs for just over a year, and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional.
Their comprehensive range of assessments has provided us with invaluable insights into our candidates’ abilities, personalities, and potential fit within our organization.
The team at People Central is incredibly knowledgeable and always ready to assist with any queries or customisation requests. Their process is very simple, making it easy for both our HR team and candidates to navigate the testing process seamlessly.
What sets People Central apart is their commitment to accuracy and reliability. The detailed reports generated from their assessments have significantly enhanced our recruitment and development processes, enabling us to make more informed decisions whilst also keeping costs extremely low in comparison to the current market.
We highly recommend People Central to any organisation seeking a trusted partner for psychometric & competency testing. Their expertise and dedication to quality have made a substantial positive impact on our talent management strategy.
One of our biggest challenges bringing people into our business was understanding what their risk perception was prior to them starting work.
So, we started looking for a cost-effective assessment that would help us understand the levels of risk perception that new staff had as part of our pre-employment process that was simple and easy to use.
People Central offered such an assessment. With a simple setup, we quickly incorporated it into our process. The assessment is online, which means candidates can complete it quickly and easily.
That theme runs through to the results as well—so as soon as they are completed, we get the results along with the reference guide and scoring, which means our team can better identify areas of development for our managers to focus on with new staff.
We have now started to roll this out across other business units in our division after positive feedback from our EHS Managers regarding its effectiveness.
We at One Foundation are grateful for the quality psychometric assessment services provided by People Central.
Their support and expertise have enhanced our decision-making process.
We can recommend People Central to any organisation seeking reliable and insightful assessment services.
