CityJobs and Psychometrica collaborate - 01/2001

CityJobs, has linked with the oldest psychometric testing company in the UK to offer online testing for candidates and clients.

Psychometrica is a subsidiary of The Test Agency, which has been established for almost 30 years as a publisher, provider and distributor of test products.

Matt Morgan, business development director of CityJobs commented, We are delighted to bring psychometric testing into the online arena. It can only bring enormous benefit to both our clients and candidates. Psychometrica is part of the longest established testing company in the country and comes with an outstanding reputation. This agreement fits in perfectly with the CityJobs ethos of providing a full recruitment solution - as much if not more than a bricks and mortar agency would provide. By using CityJobs clients are offered access to a variety of different publishing options as well as a customized pre-screening facility providing employers with a customized, automated recruitment process from job search through to interview - the complete solution to HR.

CityJobs candidates can use the unique self-assessment software to receive a detailed narrative report that can be cut and pasted into their CV highlighting personal strengths and particular attributes. The questionnaire is completed off-line ensuring complete confidentiality with immediate feedback in easy to understand report text. There are 2 tests currently available on www.cityjobs.com - the Self Awareness Profile and the Work Environment Profile.

Graham Morgan, MD of Psychometrica said, Psychometric testing is a highly valuable self-awareness tool for both corporates and candidates. We are delighted that it has become part of a very successful online job service as provided by CityJobs.

CityJobs is the only specialist site to offer candidates up to 5 personal online head-hunters offering immediate SMS and e-mail notification of relevant vacancies and unlike any other jobsite, candidates can upload their CV in any format.

Employers can post, edit and delete vacancies online with immediate effect and can post to CityJobs premier partners via its distribution channel. The pre-screening facility gives clients access to online application forms, job/employer specific questions, additional tests and questions and branded rejection letters.

CityJobs highly sophisticated software can be integrated as a front end facility into companies existing websites or utilised as part of a joint venture agreement as in the case of jobs4publicsector.com - a venture with the PSI Group which will account for 25% of the UK recruitment market.
