SkillCheck Announces Availability of TalentScout™ Time-Saving Tests For Measuring Skills of Light Industrial Workers

TalentScout Enables Staffing and Recruiting Professionals To Measure Knowledge, Skills, Abilities and Behaviors Required for Job Success in Half the Time

BURLINGTON, Mass., June 1, 2005 --SkillCheck, Inc., the leading innovator in skills assessment solutions for staffing and corporate recruiting professionals, announced today that it has added a Light Industrial Worker test to its TalentScout testing package. TalentScout is an innovative automated testing solution that enables job interviewers to determine, with a single test and in half the time required by traditional testing methodologies, whether a candidate has the knowledge, skills, abilities and behavioral tendencies needed to be successful in a particular position.

SkillCheck's TalentScout–Light Industrial test measures all the essential skills required for success in a light industrial environment - including math skills, inspection skills, assembly skills and aptitudes and attitudes regarding drug-use, trustworthiness and reliability – with a single test that also provides a comprehensive, integrated report.

SkillCheck President Jon Haber remarked: "Staffing firms placing light industrial candidates face the same challenge faced by all staffing organizations: how to accurately and fairly assess job candidates within a limited timeframe. And with the high volume of candidates passing through a typical industrial staffing firm, screening efficiency is an even more critical issue."

"TalentScout–Light Industrial addresses these challenges by testing all of the knowledge, skills, abilities and behaviors needed for success in an industrial job with a single test, and with each skill measurement optimized for time savings. This allows staffing firms to comprehensively assess candidates in a fraction of the time required by other types of assessment instruments."

The TalentScout testing suite now includes assessments for the following positions: Clerical/Administrative, Call Center, Accounting/Bookkeeping, Computer and Internet User, Legal Admin, Light Industrial, Medical Admin, Microsoft Office 2000 User, Microsoft Office 2000 Power User, Microsoft Office XP User and Microsoft Office XP Power User, and Microsoft Office 2003 User and Microsoft Office 2003 Power User assessments. Existing TalentScout customers will automatically receive these new tests and any additional tests that are added within a year of their purchase as part of their annual subscription.

TalentScout leverages advanced time-saving testing technologies to give staffing professionals the most information about a candidate in the shortest amount of time, including what further testing or training could turn that good candidate into a great hire.

All TalentScout tests are available for PC, network and Internet deployment and can be easily used in conjunction with existing software or online assessments from any test vendor.
