CALIPER Announces Launch of Caliper Essentials™, The Revolutionary Future of Assessment Reporting Incorporating the Latest in Predictive Science

PRINCETON, N.J., July 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- CALIPER, a pioneer in talent assessment and consulting for nearly 60 years, today announced the launch of Caliper Essentials, its revolutionary report suite that will allow Caliper customers to maximize the value of the Caliper Profile. The Profile is Caliper's flagship selection and development assessment that accurately measures an individual's job performance potential. The new reports present the findings from the Profile in a more actionable format to enable business leaders to make better decisions.

Caliper leveraged over a decade's worth of customer experience research along with input from its advisory board to guide the development of the comprehensive reports. The reports provide specific information about how the assessed workers communicate, their stressors, motivators, and how they can leverage their strengths to be successful in specific areas. By knowing what to expect from job candidates and existing staff, business leaders and HR professionals can make hiring, development, and promotional decisions with greater confidence.

The Caliper Essentials report suite includes three formats: Caliper Essentials for Selection, to assess external or internal applicants for open positions; Caliper Essentials for Coaching, to help coach people already in a position; and the Caliper Essentials Individual Developmental Guide, providing a takeaway for the individual that has been assessed to help maximize their strengths. The three Caliper Essentials formats work together to accurately select and develop employees over the lifecycle of their employment at an organization. In addition, the reports are predictive and criteria based, allowing managers to look at the subjects as humans rather than data to better understand how to help employees.

Caliper Essentials provides managers the capability to make more informed and confident hiring decisions, and identify high potential talent within their organization. It also offers clients the ability to develop more targeted coaching plans and programs, by giving job relevant insight into applicants' and employees' strengths, motivations, and behavioral tendencies. Caliper also offers access to Caliper consultants, who can provide guidance in understanding, interpreting, and making practical use of report results, giving clients 100% support on the new suite.

"We actively reached out to clients to understand how to support their current business needs. Based on customer feedback, we learned they have historically used the Profile for selection. The challenge is that once candidates start employment, they do not integrate this data into their onboarding and development processes. The Essentials suite enables customers to use one assessment for both selection and development in a practical and seamless manner," said Heather Ishikawa, Vice President of Product Strategy at CALIPER. "An organization can save time and money by using one powerful assessment to build productive teams and systematically coach employees throughout the employee lifecycle."

Caliper Essentials reports provide clients key information about their applicants' and employees' behavioral tendencies in a straightforward, practical, and job-relevant way. Integrating these reports into the hiring and development process can add consistency and reliability to talent acquisition, and help ensure staff members perform up to their potential.

Caliper Essentials  was market-tested by select customers, and is now available to new and existing Caliper clients. For additional product information, visit www.calipercorp.com.
