I thoroughly enjoyed the Ability and Personality courses at eras. The trainers are very knowledgeable, bringing the subject of psychometrics to life, and there is a nice blend of practical and theory to cement learning objectives in place. I highly recommend it to HR, L&D or Recruitment professionals!
I'm very excited about the newer features of The Psychometric Portal®, and praise eras for its splendid customer service.
eras customer service is one of the best I have seen.
We have been working with eras for many years now and specifically use the 360 function regularly. The 360 function is fantastic as we can amend it to suit whatever we need. It's easy to use and produces really useful information in a very professional report. When working with eras I've personally found them to be extremely responsive and very helpful, they go out of their way to support and find solutions.
The eras team provide exceptional support that is not only professional but human as well. No 'ask' is ever too much and any queries or concerns I have are addressed promptly, reflecting a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction.
eras have been invaluable to the recruitment and development strands of our people piece at East Anglian Air Ambulance. We highly value their expertise and professionalism in what can be a crowded and confusing market.
We are delighted to recommend the use of eras products for use within both recruitment campaigns and for employee development. The tools that we use for both purposes have a good level of flexibility and can be matched against roles of all types and levels within our business.
The Psychometric Portal® provides an excellent variety of instruments. The flexibility offered by the 360 tool is crucial in our industry and being able to use the system on a pay-as-you-go basis is a huge benefit.
What I like about The Quest Profiler® is the wealth of different outputs it provides, from team styles to conflict handling, and from culture matching to competencies. You would normally have to use multiple personality tools to achieve this, but they all come from the same 25 minute questionnaire!
Your customer service is outstanding.
Benefits of Aptitude Testing
Help Identify Strengths & Weaknesses
These remarkable Aptitude tests can help to identify an individual's vocational strengths and weaknesses. This therefore can help to determine whether or not they will succeed in a particular job or industry.
Identify An Individual's Level Of Competence
This helps recruiters to ensure that they are hiring the highest quality candidates who will succeed within the role, businesses and industry.
Standardised Testing
Aptitude tests are fully standardised tests, this means that they are scored in a very consistent manner and benchmarked against the performance of others. The results of these tests therefore provide much more accurate and fair results and much better insights into an individual's skills.
Allow Employers To Identify Skill Gaps
When used internally within a business employers can see the skill levels of their employees. This can then help to identify any skill gaps within the business which can then be addressed through training and development courses.
Preparing for an Aptitude Test
Aptitude tests are designed to give an insight into a person and understand their qualities, skills and natural talents. You may prefer to prepare for the aptitude test to ensure that you use your time wisely.
You may have one or two days before the aptitude test, which is plenty of time to prepare. It may help to request information about the length of time you will have to complete it before taking some practice tests. This will give you the opportunity to use your time effectively. It is an excellent method to relieve pressure and stress during the actual test, as you'll already have a clear understanding of the expectations in place.
Are Aptitude Tests Right For Your Business?
Aptitude assessments are excellent tools in any business, no matter the industry. They can be used to guide recruitment processes, aid learning and development, and ensure that your employees feel valued by increasing your understanding of them. With a variety of different tests available, you can tailor your tests to suit your business needs.
