In a change from our usual programming, we’re shaking things up this week on the TA Disruptors podcast.
Later this week we’ll be publishing “The pragmatist’s playbook for skills-based hiring” -- featuring contributions from many members of the TA Disruptors community. In the playbook -- among many things -- we unpack the critical role of the Task-based Assessment in helping TA teams evaluate a candidate’s potential to adapt, learn, and continuously acquire new skills.
So today, we’re diving deep into the world of Task-based Psychometric Assessments and unpacking the role they play in an effective skills-based hiring process.
Our guide? An Occupational Psychologist with more than two decades worth working for everyone from the NHS to MI5, before spending 10 years in the Assessment Design space at Amberjack and Arctic Shores.
Our very own Jill Summers joins us this week to unpack big topics like….
💡The difference between Question-based Assessments, Game-based Assessments, and Task-based Assessments, the challenges with each approach, and how the science varies between them
💡An insight into the decades of neuroscientific research that sits behind the development of Task-based Assessments and how that research can be used to understand how candidates really think, learn, and interact at work
💡How Task-based Assessments are designed to mitigate bias and manage adverse impact -- and the risks using black box algorithms within them could present
💡The role of the Task-based Assessment in a skills-centric hiring process and where Personality and Workplace Intelligence assessments fit within one
💡The impact of Generative AI on the world of work -- if artificial intelligence will be a billion times smarter than the average human by 2040, what traits, behaviours, and skills should we really be selecting for and how?
