How much trust should employers place in psychometric assessments? In this episode of the HRchat Podcast , host Bill Banham is joined by Paula Baetu , Psychometric Specialist, Business Psychologist, and Executive Coach at Awemetrics / Pawsometrics , to demystify workplace assessments and explore how HR leaders can make better, more evidence-based talent decisions. With extensive experience evaluating and implementing psychometric assessments for recruitment, leadership development, internal mobility, and organizational development, Paula explains what psychometric assessments really measure - and why they're about far more than personality tests. Together, Bill and Paula discuss why HR and talent acquisition teams are increasingly turning to assessments to improve hiring quality and objectivity, while also highlighting the risks of relying on tools that lack independent validation or transparency.
