Harcourt Assessment Introduces TalentLens for Financial Services
New solution gives employers the ability to assess a candidate's success on the job.
San Antonio, TX (PRWEB) November 29, 2007 -- Harcourt Assessment, Inc., a leading talent assessment company, today introduced the financial services edition of their TalentLens series of assessment solutions. To assist financial services organizations in making more accurate hiring decisions and reducing churn, TalentLens includes assessments to identify specific traits within candidates that are scientifically tied to high job performance.
"While mathematical and financial skills are essential for many financial positions, the ability to interpret data, think critically, and solve problems are often more effective predictors of job success," said Harcourt Assessment Vice President of Human Resources Phillip Weiss. "This tool helps employers measure the whole person, and to do it cost effectively and rapidly. The ability to put the right people in the right jobs is a competitive advantage in today's market."
Studies show that the top success factors for a position - cognitive ability and personality traits - are better measured through an assessment than in a resume, interview or team building exercises. TalentLens assessments take under an hour and measure important cognitive abilities and personality-based work styles documented by validity studies and the Department of Labor to be important in roles within the financial services industry. TalentLens for Financial Services offers solutions for the below roles and more:

These reports can be emailed, printed and accessed as needed - and score data can be integrated into existing HR applications. In addition to providing off-the shelf solutions, Harcourt can also consult with clients to profile top performers in the company to compare applicants and other employees against. This process, known as local validation, gives companies the tools to repeatedly identify, hire, or develop employees with similar profiles for success.
