SHL, the global leader in talent management, has taken the very latest assessment availability and technology to the next level by offering its market-leading behavioural assessment, the Occupational Personality Questionnaire (OPQ), on mobile devices. This will further enhance candidate experience by making completion even more convenient for individuals wherever they are. Designed for use on the iPhone and iPad, the “iPQ Career Planner” is a compact version of the market-leading Occupational Personality Questionnaire (OPQ).
“Innovation is vitally important to us and to our customers. Hot on the heels of the SHL and PreVisor merger, this launch emphasises our capability and eagerness to rapidly respond to our market and move into new areas of technology,” said Paul Levett, Chief Product Officer, SHL. “The world of work is evolving on a daily basis, so making the world’s most widely used personality assessment available on mobile devices is a natural development for us and for our customers, and one in which we will continue to invest.”
The iPQ is the first scientifically robust personality and career assessment of its kind available as a downloadable iPhone and iPad app, allowing users to take the assessment just as they would on a PC or laptop, or using paper and pencil. After completion their device connects to SHL servers generating a PDF-based report in minutes for the user to read.
“Giving candidates and employees the option to complete assessments via a mobile device provides an up to-date way for candidates to prepare for a recruitment process or manage their careers. This is in line with our own research which shows a positive recruitment experience is central to building and maintaining good employer brand,” continued Levett.
The test takes just 20 minutes before offering job hunters and graduates the chance to purchase their iPQ Career Planner report which identifies the most suitable careers as well as summarises their key skills and strengths. The iPQ Career Planner report is most appropriate to graduates and those in the early stages of their professional careers as it summarises their key skills and strengths.
