Psychological aspects of using profiling in recruitment

Abstract

This article explores the psychological aspects of using profiling in recruitment, highlighting the importance of psychometric assessments, behavioural evaluations, structured interviews, and visual psychodiagnostics. Profiling provides recruiters with a tool to better predict candidate success and minimize risks associated with hiring. The study also discusses the challenges related to impression management during interviews, non-verbal communication, and the significance of contextualizing candidate assessments. Additionally, profiling, as an evolving science, offers structured methods to analyse verbal and non-verbal behaviour, significantly enhancing the efficiency of decision-making processes.
