Bracknell, UK (PRWEB) October 20, 2008 -- PreVisor, the global leader in employment assessments and selection solutions that connect hiring decisions to business results, announced the release of the Global Cognitive Index (GCI)-Graduate, a new breed of unproctored cognitive assessment designed to measure verbal, numerical and abstract reasoning in graduate candidates.
Created to address the need of organisations to evaluate the large population of graduate applicants entering today's workforce, the GCI-Graduate provides employers with a standardised instrument for identifying individuals who have the necessary intellectual ability and potential to succeed in the workplace regardless of background or degree.
"We found more organisations requesting a solution to their pre-employment screening that could be administered quickly, easily and cost effectively across industries. The new adaptive format can take less time than other item bank technology tests and provides enough meaningful data to classify new graduates who do not have long work histories to measure performance," explained Jeremy Pemberton-Pigott, Managing Director of PreVisor, UK, Ltd.
The GCI-Graduate is made up of three assessments which measure key intellectual abilities. Each assessment component covers a range of subject matter that is relevant to today's workplace and may be used individually or in any combination:
Pemberton-Pigott says, "Graduate recruiters have been using the same ability tests in their past graduate campaigns for some years and are concerned about their security. The new GCI provides a scientific and robust choice that will reduce these concerns. PreVisor's online assessment platform has been integrated with nearly 20 of the world's leading recruitment applicant tracking systems (ATS). Switching to PreVisor's tests with better security is simple and has never been easier."
