The time required to complete an assessment process varies between roles and circumstances. The email you receive which outlines your login details and the assessments you have been requested to undergo will advise how much time to allow for completion. The process duration can range from 35 minutes to no more than 4.5 hours. Some assessments are timed and some are untimed. You may opt to complete all of the assessments in one sitting, or spread the assessments out over a series of sittings, depending on your situation.

No, the assessments do not have to be completed all at once. However, each individual assessment must be completed once started (as these are mostly timed assessments, you are not able to log off and come back to the same assessment later). Any particular assessment will take no longer than 1 hour to complete and the timing of that assessment is advised prior to commencement.

The online platforms on which the assessments are undertaken are compatible with laptop and desktop computers only. Attempting the assessments on any other device type, including phones and tablets, can lead to technical difficulties and in turn, impact your results.

The Pre-Assessment Questionnaire allows us to understand the specifics around the testing assessment process for you, including whether you have undertaken psychometric assessments previously, or if you are able to perform to the best of your ability on the day. The questionnaire will ask if English is your second language, the purpose being to ensure fair consideration is given towards the results of relevant assessments which could be impacted by such. Completion of this online form provides Integrated PeopleStrategies with your permission to release your results to the relevant organisation, as well as informed consent regarding your rights as a candidate.

Yes, Integrated PeopleStrategies provide complimentary feedback of assessment results to all candidates. As per the Australian Psychological Association recommendations on disclosure of candidate results, we provide these via a phone call (approx. 15 minutes in length) with one of our Psychologists, such that an opportunity is presented to answer questions and clarify any details of the results and assessment process. To schedule in your feedback appointment, please either call us on (07) 3220 2711 or email us at info@peoplestrategies.com.au.

Our team is more than happy to assist with any questions or concerns that you may have. Please feel free to either call us on (07) 3220 2711 during business hours or send through an email to info@peoplestrategies.com.au and we will endeavour to respond as soon as possible.

If possible, that would be advantageous. People generally perform at their best when they are feeling physically and mentally well. If you have been given a strict timeframe from your potential new employer, please do not hesitate to give us, or them, a call to discuss whether this can be renegotiated.

If you encounter any difficulties while completing the assessments please do not hesitate to give us a call (07 3220 2711) if this is during office hours. If this occurs outside of our usual office hours of 8:30 – 5:30, Monday – Friday please send us an email (info@peoplestrateiges.com.au) and we will contact you as soon as we are back in the office. Please outline the difficulties you encountered and any other details you can remember that might assist us to investigate the issues.

The assessments that are completed measure your aptitude and/or your behaviour. The aptitude assessments provide us with an indication of your technical ability to perform in the role, depending upon the specific requirements for the position. The behavioural assessment measures your personality characteristics and we analyse this in regards to the specific role competencies. If you have any concerns or would like to discuss the process further, please do not hesitate to call our team on (07) 3220 2711.

If you have completed psychometric assessments, please advise us of this through either a phone call or email. In some instances, we may be able to utilise this information rather than requiring you to complete assessments again. Please note that this decision will be at the discretion of the organisation for which you are undertaking the assessment.

We customise the assessments required according to individual circumstances, considering the role, the organisation and the culture. Our Consultant Psychologists can determine which psychological assessments would be appropriate, based on a role description or discussion.

Our Consultant Psychologists are able to assist in customising an assessment process and report style that suit your needs. We are able to adapt our process to accommodate role competencies, whilst taking into consideration the volume of likely testing, turn-around time required and budget.

Any one of our Psychologists can talk you through the results from the assessment process. Please feel free to call us on (07) 3220 2711 during business hours or send through an email to info@peoplestrategies.com.au and we will endeavour to respond as soon as possible.

Once the assessments are completed, our policy is a 24-48 hour reporting turnaround. We endeavour to cater for any urgent requests and can arrange a verbal debrief prior to receiving the report. We encourage you to call (07) 3220 2711 during business hours or send through an email to info@peoplestrategies.com.au and clarify any queries.

Psychological assessment is an objective way to identify an individual’s strengths, areas for development, motivational factors and work preferences. It also enhances the ability to manage ongoing performance. For more information, please view our Psychological Assessment page.

In the recruitment and selection process, some people will sell themselves up, while others will sell themselves short. Often, the way we see someone in an interview can affect our perception of them. As well as this, people are often managing the impression they provide during interviews and other elements of the selection process. Psychological assessment is a tool that can be used to objectively assess the suitability of a candidate to a role, measuring their aptitude and likely behaviours in an impartial and unbiased manner.

Psychological assessment can be utilised in various parts of the recruitment and selection process. Some organisations choose to conduct a screening interview, followed by a psychological assessment; others choose to conduct a preliminary interview, followed by psychological assessment and a second interview – it really depends on your needs and preferences.

Yes, to meet the industry standards for recruitment and selection, psychological assessments must have been found to be both reliable and valid. To ensure this, the assessments that are utilised have been widely researched, providing consistent results in predicting, measuring and capturing the aptitude and behaviours for which they are intended. Many of the assessments that are on the market do not go through this rigorous validation process. At Integrated PeopleStrategies, we also conduct our own in-house applied research prior to providing assessments to our clients, to ensure our service is evidence-based, predictive and reliable.
