Combining decades of experience in psychological testing and business applications, The Computer Psychologist has spurred the trend among companies to use pre-employment testing to eliminate hiring guesswork and to bring their hiring processes into the Internet era.

As an industry leader in the field of online psychological testing for employment success, The Computer Psychologist offers cost effective electronic assessments that help organizations make the correct hire for specific jobs based upon objective performance criteria.

All of The Computer Psychologist's assessments are Internet based enabling easy administration and real time reporting for global companies with geographically dispersed locations and diverse hiring needs. Recall Corporation is a global information management company headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. Recall is known worldwide for its reliability, which is critical to the company's mission of safeguarding business information offsite and optimizing the accessibility of items ranging from physical documents to digitized images to computer backup data. Recall also offers Secure Destruction at the end of an item's useful life. Recall recently implemented The Computer Psychologist's pre-employment assessment solution as a supplement in its toolkit for hiring Sales talent across the globe.

"Recall employs approximately 3,000 people in 30 countries across five continents," said Kathy Montgomery, Senior Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing for Recall Corporation. "What appealed to us most about The Computer Psychologist's solution was the fact that all assessments are Internet-based, enabling us to securely offer consistent and efficient Sales assessments to our different Regions across the world very cost-effectively. Candidates can be administered the assessments in one of several languages, ensuring that we are truly measuring their profile. And, having the ability to review the results of the assessments immediately versus hours or days as with other offerings was a big plus."

The Computer Psychologist products include CPpro, an assessment measuring candidate's cognitive abilities and their 16 core personality traits; and CPbasic, a less extensive personality test catering to entry level and hourly employees. CPscreen, the most recent product offering, provides a fast, accurate assessment tool for high volume hiring situations.

Organizations can refine the results of both assessments by incorporating The Computer Psychologist's Peak Performer Profile™. By analyzing the distinguishing traits exhibited by "super-star" employees within their organization, The Computer Psychologist creates a tailored profile that benchmarks qualities essential to success for a particular job in that particular company. Based on the Peak Performer Profile, a numerical Similarity Index™ is created that measures and compares the degree of fit between the traits of the prospective employee with a "star" performer, essentially increasing the probability of a successful hire. "In today's competitive global job market, the depth and breadth of talent in a hiring pool can seem overwhelming," said Rachel Finglass, Managing Director for The Computer Psychologist. "This factor combined with an era when the cost of hiring a new employee is estimated to be as high as $8,000*, reinforces the fact that hiring managers can't afford to make a bad hiring decision because it costs their organizations time and money."
