The questions that the applicant asks during the interview session can say a lot about their personality. Emotional questions are people-oriented, such as the corporate culture, training, or duties of the position. Another popular method of screening applicants is by providing internships and hiring people temporarily through a temp agency. This method of screening allows the company to try before they buy. The company can determine if there is a fit between the prospective employee and the company before they commit to any long term agreements.
Psychometric testing is another method companies can use to screen applicants.
An increasing number of employers want to know what applicants think, how they process information, and how they handle pressure. Many employers think that psycometric tests hold the answers. This type of testing can give the company a better idea about the candidate's personality and ability. Every company has its own best way of screening its applicants. The screening process is effected by the type of position, the number of applicants, time, money, and many other factors.
