Better Hires.Better Results.

Accurate, Defensible, Easy to Use Selection Processes that Engage Your Candidates

SINCE 1946

Since 1946. It was at the close of WWII, when Floyd Ruch founded PSI to help our returning servicemen find the best jobs where they could excel. As the author of Psychology and Life (one of the most seminal books in psychology, now in its 20th edition) and one of the original presidents of SIOP, Dr. Ruch designed many of the processes that form the basis of modern selection.

Today, as a firm of 1,000 Industrial Psychology Ph.D.s, Psychometricians, IT Developers, Consultants, and Assessment Professionals, we deliver 2.5 Million assessments annually to 2,500 clients, with just one goal - at PSI, we provide exceptionally accurate assessments that empower organizations to select those individuals best suited to excel on the job. We deliver these processes in a manner that has, and continues to successfully withstand, the most stringent legal scrutiny. All of our processes are easy to use and specifically designed to reduce your administrative burden. We leverage the latest technologies to offer your candidates a uniquely engaging and interactive experience.

– 70 years later, we think Floyd Ruch would be proud.

Our History, Our Passion

Begin with the end in mind. You grow your business through the execution of carefully measured strategies that drive top and bottom line growth. Whether it’s expanding into new markets, develop-ing new products and services, or turning around a business unit, you need people who can execute on those strategies. At PSI, we identify the characteristics people need to effectively execute on the initiatives that drive your business. We then design selection and promotional processes that measure the extent to which job candidates possess those capabilities. As a result, when you hire and promote people who score higher on a PSI assessment, you get smart, productive people whose strengths more effectively contribute to the attainment of your business’ goals and growth.

Our Methodology – Modular Assessment (The Best of Both Worlds)

During our 70 year history, PSI has developed and validated more than 1,800 unique assessments – all of our assessments are extensively supported, many of which by more than a hundred local criterion validation efforts. Our seven de-cades in the selection space have enabled us to thought-fully refine this content, optimizing their predictive ability vis-à-vis the job related characteristics they are designed to measure. As a result, PSI assessments are exceptionally effi-cient, and are known for providing “the greatest prediction per minute” of testing – Enabling you to identify the best candidates quickly, while minimizing candidate test time.

Our ATLASTM online platform enables the seamless pairing of virtually any combination of our assessments. As a result, we are able to blend several brief, highly targeted, and proven test modules together into a comprehensive battery that maximizes coverage of the characteristics needed for success in a specific role within your organization – Giving you the benefits of both an off-the-shelf test (proven, valid, well supported) and a highly customized solution (test con-tent specific to your company and target positions).

Accurate. PSI’s unique modular approach to assessment pairs brief, highly targeted test modules to-gether seamlessly, to ensure comprehensive coverage

of the characteris-tics needed for on the job success in your organization. Each module is proven to predict job performance, and supported by numerous local validation efforts. As an example, our EAS modules are supported by more than 160 criterion validation studies,

and correlate with overall job performance at 0.57 – far exceeding the highest government and professional thresholds for assessment accuracy (Department of Labor, 2000).

Easy to Use. PSI assessments are easy to implement and easy to use. Given that our assessments are already supported by more than a thousand criterion-related

validation efforts, our assessments can often be implemented with minimal upfront consulting labor, which means fast-er implementa-tions, lower costs, and less admin-istrative burden for your team. Given our proven track record for legal defensibility, you can also rest

assured that we do not cut any corners. Our state-of-the-art online assessment platform (ATLASTM) is specifically designed to be intuitive and user friendly – you can master it in just minutes. With advanced functionality and simple to use controls, it makes it easier and faster than ever to quickly set up requisitions, advance can-didates through your selection process, and pull score reports at the push of a button. PSI’s customer service is also exceptional, as evidenced by the fact that many of our clients stay with us for decades.

Engaging. PSI assessments engage your candidates through a dynamic and interactive experience that mirrors the challenges they’ll encounter on the job.

You get to see firsthand how they’ll perform in a role with your company, before you hire them. Candidates also get the opportu-nity to experience the same types of scenarios they’ll encounter on the job, so that they can see whether the role is motivat-ing and right for

them. You get to find out early whether they’ll succeed, while they get the realistic preview they deserve, all in a process that brilliantly represents your brand as leading edge.

Defensible. We maintain the longest and most pristine track record for legal defensibility in the assess-ment industry. PSI has been providing assessments

since 1946. To-day, we deliver more than 2.5 mil-lion assessments annually across 2,500 clients. We are chosen by clients in the most litigious settings in the United States – Organizations who have expe-rienced employ-ment litigation challenges and audits to their

non-PSI selection processes. Yet, despite our decades of experience and tens of millions of delivered assess-ments, No PSI assessment, when used as recommended, has ever been successfully challenged in a court of law. PSI stands behind every assessment that we deliver. In fact, even non-PSI assessment clients, choose PSI to provide compliance and litigation support for their selection processes.
