Employers use a variety of methods to select the right people, and the greater the variety of situations in which a selector can see you perform, and the greater the number of skills that are being tested, the more accurate and objective the assessment should be. Tests are simply one way of testing the competencies relevant to a specific job, and should ideally be designed with that type of work in mind.
From an employer's point of view, tests are also a reasonably cost-efficient way of assessing a large number of applicants; this probably explains why many organisations use them to pre-select candidates for (comparatively expensive) interviews.
