ATLANTA, June 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- SHLPreVisor, the global leader in talent management solutions, today announced it will unveil the cross-platform integration and availability of its most popular pre-hire and post-hire solution sets at the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) 2011 Annual Conference & Exposition, June 26-29 in Las Vegas. Now, clients all over the world have seamless access to the most comprehensive range of assessment solutions to support their talent acquisition and mobility strategies - for all job levels in more languages and countries than delivered by any other talent management provider. Clients now also have access to the largest repository of People Intelligence information available in the world, with over 100 million combined data points providing critical information to help organizations gain specific, objective insight into people's ability and potential to perform, to achieve maximum business results. The company will be exhibiting in Booth #1832, with executives available to meet with the press to discuss the rapid integration of its specialized content and solutions just five months after the merger.

Thanks to the new cross-platform support, clients that were previously using the SHL and PreVisor systems can now benefit from the combined resources and expertise of the merged entity. Those currently utilizing SHL's platform will now gain instant access to even more pre-hire assessment content critical for volume recruiting as well as skills testing, and other key evaluations to accurately predict on-the-job performance. They'll also be able to tap directly into industry and job specific assessments, offering solutions for entry-level through senior leadership positions across the banking, healthcare, insurance, retail and other key industries. At the same time, clients that are currently utilizing the PreVisor platform will now have access to a broader range of post-hire assessment capabilities than ever before, enabling more effective employee development, succession planning, corporate restructuring, team building, and more.

"People Intelligence has become an even higher priority as corporations increasingly recognize its proven value in building a stronger workforce, and delivering more positive business results overall," said Robert Morgan, Chief Marketing Officer of SHLPreVisor. "Conducting both pre-hire and post-hire assessments throughout the full employee lifecycle is essential – and that's exactly what the new SHLPreVisor delivers through its combined resources and expertise, offering more in-depth People Intelligence than ever before."

According to a just-released Bersin report, "Few mergers have the gravity to generate impact across a market and potentially change the way organizations hire and manage their talent. The recent merger of the assessment industry's largest global and North American players has done just that. It sent a signal to other assessment providers that being competitive globally will require more than niche products and a regional focus."

"Today's talent marketplace demands a more rigorous approach to assessment and selection than ever before," added Josh Bersin, CEO of Bersin & Associates. "The recent merger of SHL and PreVisor positions the company well to provide innovative end-to-end solutions for screening, selection, skills assessment, leadership, and the services to help companies optimize their talent solutions."
