Managers sometimes question the value of formal testing for hiring or promotions. The answer is really simple: It works! Tests help you focus on the requirements of the job and measure individuals against those requirements. Selection research demonstrates time and again that hiring the right people results in better job performance, which translates into higher productivity, better decisions, and fewer errors.
