PeopleAnswers Introduces Next Generation Hourly Staffing Solution
PeopleAnswers' new Profile Optimization offering dramatically reduces candidate testing time while maintaining high predictability rates in identifying future top employees.
Dallas, TX November 16, 2006 -- PeopleAnswers, a leading provider of next generation web-based assessment and work force optimization software, today introduced its new Profile Optimization capability, which dramatically reduces candidate testing time while maintaining high predictability rates in identifying future top employees.
Designed specifically for high-volume, entry-level hourly positions, Profile Optimization streamlines hiring processes by identifying the optimum balance between a shortened time requirement for candidates to complete the assessment and the depth of information needed by employers to make the most effective hiring decisions.
"We know from our research and ongoing work that even similar positions in competing companies, often have very different demands, unique cultures, and individual business objectives," explained Jason Taylor, Ph.D., PeopleAnswers Chief Science Officer. "Because of these challenges, it's clear that a one-size-fits-all test can't consistently deliver optimal performance and results for every company. Instead, we created a methodology that provides companies the best possible mix of assessment length and validated candidate information based on the unique demands of each specific company and hiring situation."
The PeopleAnswers Profile Optimization solution starts with all the behavioral characteristics normally assessed by PeopleAnswers in the full profile creation process and then takes into account the uniqueness of the position being studied. Those characteristics identified as the most critical to the role are retained in the model and those characteristics determined not as critical are removed. The end result is a time-sensitive assessment designed to provide rich content specifically for the critical characteristics proven to reflect success in the position.
PeopleAnswers CEO Gabriel Goncalves echoed the point that companies should not mistake the Profile Optimization capability as simply a shorter version of the PeopleAnswers standard assessment battery. "We know from experience that companies don't just need shorter tests for some positions. What they need are more efficient ones," said Goncalves. "Our new offering proves that dramatic reductions in testing time don't have to result in dramatic reductions in test performance and bottom-line impact."
PeopleAnswers is a leading provider of next generation web-based assessment and work force optimization technologies that maximize the potential of every hire and talent decision to reduce turnover and hiring costs, streamline staffing processes, and improve employee performance.
