SkillCheck Introduces New TalentScout™ Tests at Staffing World 2003

TalentScout Tests Let Staffing Professionals Measure Key Competencies for Clerical, Call Center and Accounting/Bookkeeping Positions with a Single Test in Half the Time

STAFFING WORLD 2003, LAS VEGAS, Nev., October 28, 2003 -- SkillCheck, Inc., the leading provider of testing innovations for the staffing industry, introduces a suite of new tests today designed to enhance staffing agency productivity. TalentScout is a revolutionary new testing product that enables staffing professionals to determine, with a single test and in half the time required for traditional testing, whether a candidate has the knowledge, skills and abilities needed to be successful in a particular position.

TalentScout leverages advanced testing technologies such as computer adaptive testing and performance-based interactive simulations 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.

SkillCheck President Jon Haber noted: "Staffing professionals all agree that testing simply takes too long. When traditional testing is combined with other recruitment activities, it can mean that a candidate is the staffing office for close to two hours. As a result staffing professionals have always had to make a choice between their own productivity and the quality of their candidates. Now with TalentScout, they can get both, and a whole lot more."

In conclusion, Haber said: "As the staffing business begins to show signs of a rebound, staffing firms will be seeking ways to recruit and place high-quality candidates faster, better and more profitably than any of their competitors. TalentScout was designed to address this precise business need."

TalentScout tests are now available for Clerical/Administrative, Accounting/Bookkeeping, and Call Center positions. Medical Admin, Legal Admin, Computer & Internet User, and Microsoft Office User tests are slated for availability before the end of 2003. All TalentScout tests are available for PC, network and Internet deployment and can be easily integrated with existing software or online assessments from any test vendor.
