Censeo Corporation’s TalentSIM™ Leadership Simulation Assessment Named as a “Top Product of the Year” by Human Resource Executive® Magazine

September 21, 2009
MAITLAND, FL – Censeo Corporation, a leading provider of online employee assessment solutions, announced today that its newest leadership assessment product, TalentSIM Leadership Simulation Assessment, has been named one of the Top Products of the Year by Human Resource Executive® magazine.

Each year, Human Resource Executive® magazine recognizes the top products that have been released to the market during the year.  Winners are selected based on the level of innovation offered by the product, the value it offers to the HR and Training functions, and its ability to deliver on its promises.

TalentSIM is an interactive, online leadership assessment designed to accurately measure the competencies and skills of high potential, entry, and mid-level managers.  Using a realistic job simulation approach, participant’s are presented with a series of challenging situations, and asked how they would react in those situations. Once complete, the assessment provides valid, easy-to-use information that helps companies select and develop high-quality leaders.  

Human Resource Executive® magazine commented, “TalentSIM takes great pains to make its examples seem like real-life work environments. In many instances, information is presented via e-mail and voicemail or require users to examine charts and financial data to choose the best course of action for their fictional manager.”

The magazine continues to say, “The judges especially liked the product’s subtlety.   As in real life, the decisions users make are not black and white -- subtle differences, just like in the real-life workplace.”

When used for leadership selection, TalentSIM produces a detailed report outlining the applicant’s overall performance, as well as details on that applicant’s competency and skill results.  An additional feature of the report is a customized interview guide that targets any questionable areas in the applicant’s performance.

When used for leadership development, the TalentSIM report provides detailed competency and skills results, as well as a targeted list of development suggestions that directly support a manager’s individual development efforts.

“We’re very proud to have been honored by Human Resource Executive® for this prestigious award,” stated Ron Gross, President and CEO of Censeo Corporation.  “With TalentSIM, we truly aimed to raise the bar in the online leadership assessment arena, and Human Resource Executive®’s recognition is evidence that we’ve come a long way toward achieving this.  It’s also encouraging that this recognition is closely aligned with feedback Censeo has already received from its current clients and other industry experts.”

Censeo will accept the Award at this year’s HR Technology® Conference, held in Chicago, IL, September 30 – October 2.  Censeo will also be featuring the TalentSIM Leadership Assessment in booth 245 in the HR Technology® Conference expo hall.
