"It has been estimated that some 70 per cent of UK organisations test their workforce either for personality or ability before making a job offer or conferring a promotion." - Personnel Today magazine

Psychometric testing is now a fundamental part of recruitment. Even so, every day more companies are integrating it as part of their process in getting the right people for the job. 

New Frontiers can ensure your candidates undertake a thorough psychometric test prior to interview. This test will measure four factors of an individual's behavior: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Compliance. They can be characterised as assertiveness, communication, patience and structure.

Using this information, we can describe a person's general working style, their motivations and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses, and some of the basic assumptions they make about other people. It can also go far in helping to predict how a person will react or perform in various circumstances. If you are interested in us testing your candidates please speak to your recruitment consultant. top

It can often be the case that a candidates have good experience, on paper, but they lack basic office skills such as Microsoft Word, Excel or Powerpoint. New Frontiers has access to the web's leading online testing company: SkillsArena.

New Frontiers also tests candidate travel & geography skills.  It's often the case that employers require candidates to have a good level of travel industry knowledge. 

These tests cover basic world knowledge, airline codes, travel industry terminology etc.. top

New Frontiers takes candidate qualification very seriously and will check the identity & right-to-work status of candidates (where appropriate).

Every temporary worker that we send you had also a full two year reference check carried out on them.

You can rest assured that the people we send you ARE the who they say they are AND they are legally able to work in that location. top

It is often important that candidates have a very good working knowledge of systems such as Galileo, Sabre, Amadeus or Worldspan so they can hit the ground running. 

Our sister company www.onlinetraveltraining.co.uk can both test candidates AND provide 'refresher' training - on all major CRS systems.  Re-training is provided free to prospective candidates.    top
