%X An emerging new trend in the field of recruitment and selection is the use of Psychometric testing. The use of psychometric testing enables the recruiters to select only the best match candidates, the one who proved to be an asset to the organization. This research aimed to explore the effectiveness of psychometric testing in recruitment and selection through primary and secondary research. The primary data has been collected through in-depth interviews in the banking sector of Pakistan, and the analysis has been made through thematic analysis. The study explored that psychometric testing in recruitment is effective if used with a combination of other recruitment methods like face to face interviews and case studies. It was found that certain factors like time pressure, stress, limited options in the questionnaire and pressure of testing may have impacts on the responses of the candidates, but the psychometric results are more or less similar to their personality.
