NEW ORLEANS, June 5, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Rocket-Hire is excited to announce the release of LAUNCHPAD, a new test and assessment authoring platform. To better serve its clients' needs for customized, high quality psychometrics assessments, Rocket-Hire needed access to an assessment authoring platform that could meet enterprise business standards. When the options on the market proved to be excessively expensive, lacking the features needed to build quality psychometric tests, and incompatible with other platforms and systems, Rocket-Hire made the decision to build its own platform.

Rocket-Hire is a consultancy based in New Orleans that specializes in pre-hire talent assessment strategy and development and has provided these services for organizations around the globe for nearly two decades. President and founder of Rocket-Hire, Charles Handler, Ph.D., has over twenty years' worth of experience in the field of industrial-organizational (I/O) psychology, and talent assessment specifically. Dr. Handler's passion for the integration of technology with talent assessments resulting in his founding of Rocket-Hire and has motivated the launch of the company's newest product LAUNCHPAD. "Launchpad is the power tool we always needed to maintain our status as expert test builders who balance high quality tests with innovative technologies," said Dr. Handler. "We are excited to begin a new chapter in our company's 20-year history by opening up additional ways to partner with our clients to build value through our expertise."

LAUNCHPAD is a unique offering that provides an affordable option for those looking to build their own psychometric tests. LAUNCHPAD is a flexible platform that is easily integrated with outside platforms such as applicant tracking systems (ATS), has been optimized for mobile use, and supports fully customizable applicant facing UI/UX, which provides an increased ease of use for both those building assessments and for the applicants who will take these assessments. Additionally, LAUNCHPAD provides a comprehensive library of question (item) types and testing tools such as audio and video capture, cognitive games, and full access to the AON/Hewitt suite of assessment tools through a partnership with AON.

LAUNCHPAD also provides other expert test builders the freedom to build their own innovative, candidate friendly assessments and supports the ability for others to build their own testing business via white labeling the platform. "We took a 'if we build it, they will come' mentality in creating LAUNCHPAD," said Dr. Handler. "We know the market landscape better than anyone, so we know that others like us have been underserved and need viable alternatives. We are excited to build our business while collaborating with others to build theirs. The synergies that we create will help the assessment industry take significant steps forward."

Its accessibility through flexibility and affordability make LAUNCHPAD a welcome addition to the pre-hire assessment market.
