First of its kind release allows for greater ease of use and scalability of behavioral assessment technology to decentralized human resource departments.

Dallas - July 6, 2004 - PeopleAnswers reaffirmed its commitment today to ease of use and scalability in the behavioral assessment market by rolling out its Geographic Mapping feature release. Geographic Mapping allows decentralized Human Resource departments easier management of multiple locations and user rights, allowing for a truly scalable employment assessment solution to even the largest, most widespread organization. Geographic Mapping allows disparate hiring managers immediate access to comprehensive assessment results for their best candidates, proving particularly beneficial to industries such as retail, hospitality, financial services and many others that have a widely dispersed or global workforce.

The PeopleAnswers release of Geographic Mapping marks a significant turning point in the behavioral assessment industry. As business and the role of Human Resource departments become more decentralized, behavioral assessment solutions must respond by allowing line managers to take greater ownership of key selection and development processes. A much more granular definition of user rights is a priority to making this a reality. Geographic Mapping allows hiring managers to access only those candidates and employees under their supervision, creating more consistency in selection and development, while saving human resource departments time and money.

“This release is a significant sign of our total commitment to creating the most scalable and easy to use behavioral assessment solution on the market,” said Gabriel Goncalves, President and CEO of PeopleAnswers, Inc. “We are energized by the opportunity to help our clients hire and develop those people that drive their businesses forward.”

Breaking new ground in the use of behavioral assessment solutions, PeopleAnswers Geographic Mapping feature allows users to simultaneously associate positions with multiple geographies, incorporate existing hierarchies into PeopleAnswers (eg. Stores to Districts to Regions, etc.), use geographies to define user rights, and allow candidates to test for multiple geographies at once.
