Chally Group and SkillSurvey Partnership to Offer Complete Talent Measurement Suite

Performance measurement firm Chally and online reference-assessment solutions provider SkillSurvey have announced a strategic partnership developed to offer a combination of assessment tools specifically aimed at increasing sales performance. Chally’s assessments are derived from database containing predictive content developed over 38 years and sourced from hundreds of thousands of high-production sales professionals. SkillSurvey’s Pre-Hire 360 platform allows past managers and coworkers to provide forthright evaluations of a candidate’s performance. Combined, these solutions provide for the hiring of sales professionals based on real performance instead of interviewing skills and embellished resumes.

“Hundreds of leading companies across the world are now using SkillSurvey to improve their quality-of-hire,” said Ray Bixler, CEO of SkillSurvey, Inc. “Our fastest growing segment, the sales job family, reflects companies’ critical need to hire the right sales talent the first time. Chally is at the forefront of helping the same companies evaluate their sales applicants through their highly predictive assessment, making this partnership very logical and effective. We’re very excited about connecting our solution to theirs to help sales leaders and recruiters find and assess the best sales talent possible.”

From the Chally side, Scott Hudson, Vice President of sales and marketing stated, “Emerging technologies drive further efficiencies in the talent acquisition process and Chally continues to evolve delivery tools to supply our customers with the most predictive assessment content to inform hiring decisions. Our partnership with SkillSurvey is another example of Chally’s commitment to deliver best-practice solutions for applicants, recruiters, and hiring managers.”

Chally’s assessments have been shown to reduce average turnover by nearly one-third and has increased individual productivity by between 30 and 35 percent. This can amount to nearly $100 million in savings per 100 employees. SkillSurvey helps to build expansive talent pools with its Pre-Hire 360 which can generate passive candidate pools reaching the tens of thousands.
