PsyMax
Solutions and CareerBoard Create Working
Partnership
Reducing
the amount of time and money
organizations spend obtaining and analyzing job
seekers "fit."
CLEVELAND -
Ohio-based CareerBoard, LLC, an online recruitment
solutions company specializing in connecting local
candidates with local employers, and PsyMax
Solutions, LLC, a Max-Ventures portfolio company,
have formed a partnership to deliver candidate
selection tools to enable employers to
consistently make high quality hiring
decisions.
"This unique
collaboration of two leading organizations
seamlessly combines their knowledge and expertise
to give employers a tool to maximize the chances
of getting the right person," says Wayne Nemeroff,
Ph.D., PsyMax's CEO. "It brings together the
technical know-how in recruiting and selection
tools to optimize the entire
process."
The PsyMax
assessment solution offers an efficient,
easy-to-use, flexible tool for selecting
individuals who are the right people for the right
job. This new service will combine an Applicant
Tracking Solution (ATS) and assessment tools to
match prospective employees to employers
needs. Statistical analysis done
at Texas A&M University has
validated the program's results through testing
done over a period of years.
"Early adopters of
the PsyMax solution include global and national
organizations who recognize this online
tool as one of the best new innovations in
assessment to come on the market," said Peter
Tuttle, president of CareerBoard. "Through our
partnership we will not only be able to deliver
the assessment tool to our CareerBoard customers
but we will do it in a way that's seamless with
our full service recruitment solutions. I
expect the PsyMax assessment solution to be fully
integrated onto the CareerBoard site by May of
this year (2005)."
Over 6,000 employers
throughout the Midwest already utilize
CareerBoard's site.
