MatchProfile Forms Strategic Alliance with The Computer Psychologist
To Provide Even More Targeted Job Candidate Matching

Omaha, NE -- MatchProfile.com, creator of the one-of-a-kind, patented database profiling system that produces targeted candidate matching announced today that it has formed a strategic alliance with The Computer Psychologist. The alliance solidifies MatchProfiles place as the most comprehensive profiling system available today.

Our alliance with The Computer Psychologist has taken our service to another level. The use of Computer Psychologists candidate assessment tests will give our clients objective data that they wouldnt otherwise be able to obtain, which will in turn provide them with better candidate matches. Not only will our clients have access to the best profiling system out there, but they will have instant feedback on candidates, reducing the possibility of losing a promising candidate due to wasted time. This is critical in an employees job market where promising talent is hard to find and hiring decisions need to be made quickly," says MatchProfile VP John Farmer.

MatchProfile.com has incorporated Computer Psychologists tests into their current Individual/Employer Match Profiles (IMP/EMP). Candidates can now be assessed through a test that measures 16 core personality traits as well as cognitive abilities. There is also an invaluable tool for employers called the Peak Performer Profile, in which 8-12 of a companys top performers are tested and comparisons between those top performers and prospective employees are graphed for the employer. A "Similarity Index" is provided for the employer as well. This is a number between 0 and 100 that indicates how closely the candidate reflects the Peak Performer Profile. These tests help companies choose the kind of employees they need based on statistical analysis of success rather than gut instinct.

Rachel Finglass, Managing Director of ComputerPsychologist.com, stated, The alliance with MatchProfile.com is an exciting way to offer employers the opportunity to do a complete screen for the qualifications they need in a successful employee. Ultimately, an employer will save time, effort and money."

Beth Down, President of the National Association of Recruiting Professionals (NARP) commented, This alliance shows that the resume is becoming a thing of the past -- it is being replaced by a much more efficient profiling system that provides the recruiter with a broader candidate dossier supplying objective data in a more searchable format, enabling better candidate/employer matches. Profiling systems that incorporate psychological and skills testing are the future of e-recruiting. They provide recruiters with what they want -- an appropriate match -- without having to spend valuable time with an initial qualifying interview. Rather than seeing a formatted candidate job history on paper, the recruiter will get a candidate that matches his/her requirements on every level."
