Hello Surbhi:
The secret to hiring successful employees is to stop hiring people who don't have a talent for their job.
The following is from TESTING AND ASSESSMENT: AN EMPLOYER’S GUIDE TO GOOD PRACTICES, U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration, 1999...
" Use assessment tools in a purposeful manner
Use the whole-person approach to assessment.
Principle of Assessment: Do not rely too much on any one test
to make decisions. Use the whole-person approach to assessment.
Using a single test or procedure will provide you with a
limited view of a person’s employment or career-related
qualifications. Moreover, you may reach a mistaken conclusion
by giving too much weight to a single test result. On the other hand,
using a variety of assessment tools enables you to get a more
complete picture of the individual. The practice of using a variety
of tests and procedures to more fully assess people is referred to
as the whole-person approach to personnel assessment. This
will help reduce the number of selection errors made and will
boost the effectiveness of your decision making."
