Job Questions > What's the interview process like at > Personnel Decisions International > Ann's Answer

Very thorough. We use the same process for hiring at PDI as we use for our clients. There is an extended interview by the person who would be your boss. If they think there might be a match, you are interviewed more extensively by one of the I/O psychologists who you would work with. Cognitive and personality testing are done, and if you pass muster there. You are invited in to participate in simulations where the consultant plays a role in a real-world business scenario, and they get to see how you operate in realistic situations. I appreciated it because if I hadn't gotten the job, I would have known that it was decided very scientifically - it would have been a matter of potential, readiness, or fit. I wouldnt' want to work somewhere that wasn't a good fit, because I'd have to quit or be fired after a short time anyway. It's a process I value highly.
