Complimentary Psychometrics Webinar from OPC Assessment

For organisations where people operate in safety-critical, high-throughput or operationally demanding environments, recruitment decisions can have long-term consequences. But how do we gain meaningful insight into the characteristics that matter for a role, beyond qualifications, experience and interview performance?

Psychometric assessment can provide another piece of the puzzle, offering structured, evidence-based insight into characteristics such as concentration, learning and recall ability, risk awareness and behavioural style.

But the value isn’t simply in testing for testing’s sake. The right assessment approach can help organisations make more informed and consistent decisions, identify potential and support recruitment, development and performance.

So, what can psychometric assessments really tell us – and how can organisations make sure they are getting genuine value from it?

OPC Assessment is inviting HR, recruitment, talent and operational professionals across transport, infrastructure, energy, manufacturing and other safety-critical sectors to its complimentary webinar:

An Introduction to Psychometric Testing

6 October 2026 | 9:30–10:15 am GMT 

The first in OPC Assessment’s new three-part Psychological Assessment Series, the session will explore what psychometrics are, how they have evolved, why organisations use them and the wider value they can bring to recruitment and selection.

Webinars 2 and 3 will follow in December 2026 and early 2027, exploring good practice in psychological assessment and choosing the right assessment approach for different roles and challenges.
