Harcourt Assessment Announces Strategic Partnership with CraftSystems
SAN ANTONIO,TX (PRWEB) June 22, 2007 - Harcourt Assessment, Inc., a leading talent assessment company, today announced a strategic partnership with CraftSystems of Bradenton, Florida. Through the partnership, Harcourt Assessment will distribute CraftSystems' Craft Personality Questionnaire (CPQ®) as part of their comprehensive portfolio of talent assessment solutions. The CPQ® is a fully-automated personality measure to identify traits of successful sales people and management.
"Many industries, including the growing call-center and financial services industries, are at a deficit for qualified sales talent," said Harcourt Assessment Senior Vice President of Sales Terry Turner. "CPQ® will help these industries identify the recruits with the most potential for high sales performance. We're excited to have the opportunity to include this extremely useful assessment solution among our offerings to improve our client's revenue performance."
"Given the speed and reliability of the CPQ®, HR professionals and sales managers alike will find it to be an extremely valuable tool for recruitment and retention," said CraftSystems CEO Dr. Doug Waldo. "We are excited and honored that an organization like Harcourt Assessment recognizes the value of this tool and has chosen to partner with us to increase its distribution."
The CPQ® is a standardized, fully-automated personality measure of the "Basic Eight Traits" of successful sales people as identified by author Dr. Larry Craft's life-long research. Taking only minutes to complete, the assessment is administered on the internet and scored automatically, providing valuable and instant feedback to recruiters.
Harcourt Assessment offers a wide array of talent assessment solutions, helping employers to maximize their human capital investment and enhance HR workflow through assessment solutions that aim to improve the recruitment, hiring, development, and retention of a stellar workforce. Harcourt Assessment's solutions provide rapid, accurate, objective and unbiased insight, and better understanding of candidates and employees. This predictive information enables employers to make more accurate hiring decisions, align individual capabilities to organizational needs, and develop a high-performance and confident workforce. Companies of all sizes, world-wide, are leveraging these solutions to drive competitive advantage in areas such as critical thinking, problem solving, leadership development, and job fit.
Previews of the CPQ® assessment will be available at the Harcourt Assessment booth (#1539) at the Society for Human Resources Management conference in Las Vegas from June 24th-27th.
