The Computer Psychologist, a leader in Internet-based employment related assessments, has developed and added CPscreen to its suite of employment assessment solutions currently available to companies worldwide to help take the guesswork out of the hiring process.

CPscreen meets the needs of hiring managers in industries where large volumes of employees need to be hired at one time by offering a fast, objective and cost effective tool to simplify and manage the hiring process.

Ideal for industries including retail, hospitality, food service and other labor-intensive environments, CPscreen can be readily integrated into an organization's current hiring processes to provide hiring managers with a reliable and objective job applicant evaluation based on a five-minute assessment. Designed to accommodate a variety of cultural and educational backgrounds, CPscreen is simply formatted and available in five languages including English, Spanish, German, French and Portuguese.

"Unlike our other employment related assessments, CPscreen was designed to specifically address the needs of hiring managers in high-volume hiring environments where a large number of job applicants need to be screened and evaluated quickly and thoroughly so that hiring decisions can be made in a timely manner," said Rachel Finglass, Managing Director for The Computer Psychologist. "Because CPscreen is so cost effective, it can be used in situations where hundreds, even thousands of job candidates need to be screened prior to hiring."

While companies that use CPscreen typically hire for positions that are unskilled in nature, specific traits such as dependability, integrity and honesty are critically important characteristics each job candidate should possess. If desired, The Computer Psychologist's proprietary Peak Performer Profile™ allows organizations to refine the results of CPscreen by comparing them against desirable traits exhibited by high-performing employees within their organization.

The Computer Psychologist can create a tailored profile that benchmarks qualities essential to success for a particular job in a particular company based on the job and personality traits selected by the hiring company. Based on the profile created, a numerical Similarity Index™ is formulated 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.

Whether CPscreen is used alone or in concert with the Peak Performer Profile and Similarity Index, The Computer Psychologist uses the highest standards of measuring personality and cognition, providing a real-time objective employment related assessment for human resource personnel and functional department heads.
