Description

OPQ32r Personality Questionnaire from CEB SHL.  A pre-interview report with suggested interview questions to support graduate recruitment.

The CEB SHL OPQ which stands for Occupational Personality Questionnaire, is the most popular and well researched personality test on the market therefore it has unbeatable credentials. Specifically, in recruitment, the challenge is to assess and really understand your candidates in a short space of time. A personality report will quickly assess the candidates’ overall suitability for the job by assessing their work behaviours and personality and identifying strengths and weaknesses against the role requirements. This Pre Interview report is an ideal interview aid for the recruitment of Graduates.

For Graduate recruitment there is a need to provide an effective and efficient graduate interviewing process. Also, graduates are continuing to develop their skills and their work behaviours and therefore it is useful to appreciate that what you assess from a personality questionnaire today is just a snapshot in time during their journey of growth and development. However, it is a very useful start point, as research shows that core traits that support performance and effectiveness are evident quite early in one's career. Given that your graduate role or roles are very appealing, you are likely to get quite a few good candidates applying. On paper, it is going to be very difficult to separate them. However, your successful graduate candidate needs to demonstrate more than just intellect and technical skills. Responsible roles and jobs require that individuals can influence and work with others, can think flexibly and appropriately to solve issues, and that they demonstrate a certain level of personal drive and initiative to progress things.

The OPQ Pre-Interview Report is structured along these three areas:

• People & Communication: their capacity to work effectively with others


• Intellectual/ Judgement: their preferred thinking style in handling issues


• Task Orientation and Drive: their personal drive to make things happen

Some undergraduates may have limited work experience, but the important behavioural competency areas covered within the OPQ report and the way that the interview questions are phrased helps you to explore relevant evidence that may not be directly work related. Such evidence not only supports their current behaviours and performance but acts as good predictors of their future potential and future behaviours within the work setting.

The OPQ report supports you in effectively interviewing your graduate candidates.  Irrespective of the volume of candidates you have, you can achieve this efficiently and quickly using the OPQ Pre-Interview report.
