we put them through an all day battery of psychological tests, after we've had them in for multiple interviews with numerous people, but in the end, I don't think the results (good employees) are any better than had we simply interviewed once or twice and hired based on that.
My usual response to comments telling me that planning does not work, is the suggestion that it my not be planning but rather how the plan was created.
So in this case, my logical response might be, it may not the practice of subjecting job candidates to this sort of testing, but rather, the nature of the tests themselves.
But I have to say, I've never seen a detailed psychology/multiple peer based interview process that consistently yielded better hiring results than what most companies do.
