Do you want to assess your candidates on a deeper level with the help of video interviewing software? Maybe get interesting personality insights that will allow you to judge them accurately throughout the hiring process?

We live in an era where technology has been advancing further each day allowing companies to incorporate modern science and psychology into the hiring process to know about their candidates beyond their CVs and applications.

By using personality tests backed by science, employers and decision makers can assess candidates objectively and accurately to make hiring choices that are better informed and more secure.

But what do personality tests reveal about the candidate during the hiring process?

See If The Candidate Is A Great Cultural Fit

Recruiters can use personality tests to determine if a candidate will be a good cultural fit at their company. But how?

Personality traits found through personality tests help employers see if a candidate is a good cultural fit. Personality tests also reveal the kind of work environment the candidate will thrive in and if their values are aligned with the company.

Our video interviewing software provides a Five-Factor Model personality report for each candidate after they conduct a video assessment interview. This report will reveal more about the candidate’s personality like their learning and communication style, performance in sales, programming aptitude, and the way they deal with customers. Based on these personality traits, recruiters can see if the candidate would be a good cultural fit.

Determine The Candidate’s Communication And Learning Style

Every person knows that good communication skills are crucial to any working environment. A candidate’s communication style is important for the recruiter to know, especially if they are working in managerial or customer-facing roles. 

With our video interviewing software, companies can learn about a candidate’s communication style through the Five-Factor Model. The model will tell them how the candidates prefer to communicate, handle stress, and collaborate with teammates. Furthermore, EVA-SSESS reveals how candidates prefer to learn. For example, if they would go for an elaborative process, fact retention, methodical study, or synthesis analysis.

Take, as an example, a candidate that scored high on conscientiousness, it means that they tend to prefer fact retention as a learning style. Basically, it means that these candidates are more inclined to memorize facts and meaningful information, rather than understand them; which implies concentrated, goal-oriented learning.

Predict A Candidate’s Job Success

Personality tests have been scientifically proven to predict job performance and success. They help recruiters assess a candidate’s behavioral tendencies in a work environment and see if they will be top performers in the company.

The Five-Factor Model used in our video interviewing software helps provide valuable insights into how a candidate’s personality traits will impact their workplace behaviour, how they solve problems and how they manage their emotions in the workplace. Because of this, their personality trait will either help them grow and succeed in the organization or unfavourably impact their performance and impair their teammates’ productivity as well.

See If The Candidate Has Leadership Capability

Personality tests are also a great way for recruiters to know if the candidate has the potential to lead. For example, if a recruiter is looking for someone with leadership capabilities, then they will look for leader-like qualities during the assessment process. A candidate with leadership abilities will score high on emotional stability, extraversion, and conscientiousness.

Recruiters can use our video interviewing software to determine if their candidates are natural-born leaders that can lead teammates in an orderly, mentor-like fashion apart from asking them leadership assessment questions.

Forethoughts

If you want to know your candidates on a deeper level, you can use personality tests to dig further into their personality traits and get to learn more about them on a deeper level throughout the assessment process.

Through the accurate insight provided by our video interviewing software, recruiters can get to reveal cultural and team fit, communication and learning style, predicted job performance, and capability to lead. This will allow you to know whether your candidate’s behavioral tendencies align with the job requirements.

With EVA-SSESS, you can get access to AI personality reports and robust insights, with an easy-to-understand assessment breakdown of the applicant’s personality, on-the-job success, and cognitive ability. Request a free demo and see how EVA-SSESS can transform the way you assess!
