Polaris Assessment Systems launches new pre-employment testing service
Detroit – (Business Wire) – Aug. 16, 2004
Polaris Assessment Systems, Inc., a Detroit-based employment testing company, today announced the launch of low cost,
high quality testing and interviewing programs targeted at the hiring of entry-level employees.
Based on “best practices” technologies, Polaris has refined its methods over the past
year with partners in the healthcare, manufacturing, entertainment/attractions, and call center industries.
Every partner found significant results using the newly validated “Polaris” testing systems. Performance
increases of 25%, reductions of employee turnover exceeding 50% and sales increases of over 50% were found in
user companies through rigorous validation studies.
Company founder and president, Dr. John Arnold states that, “After 20 years of large corporate consulting, I
have identified ways to provide world-class employment testing programs that can be offered at fee levels that
are often half those charged by the larger consulting companies. Dr. Arnold, a Ph.D. industrial psychologist,
previously headed one of the largest Human Resource consulting firms in the US.
Todd Sperl, Corporate Manager for Workforce Assessment and Performance Improvement at St. John Health, a
multi-hospital healthcare organization with headquarters in Warren, Mich. says, “Our follow-up evaluations show
that the Polaris systems improve new hire performance significantly and reduce the turnover in our organization
by over 60%.”
David McCann, Manager of Associate Relations with United Stationers, North America’s largest broad line
distributor of business products, states, “Beyond the effectiveness of their testing systems, Polaris Assessment
Systems was extremely client-focused and sensitive to our needs throughout the development of our customer
service and distribution center screening systems.”
Further examples of the improvements obtained in performance, sales and turnover are available at the “Polaris”
web site www.polaristest.com or by emailing Dr. Arnold directly at
jarnold@polaristest.com. The web site also offers details on the
testing and interview systems available from Polaris.
Polaris Assessment Systems, Inc., a Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan-based consulting company, is focused on doing
one thing – and doing it very well – the testing and assessment of entry-level employees for pre-employment
purposes.
