Wonderlic, Inc. Launches ASAP for Credit Unions™, A Web-Based Solution That Helps Credit Unions Hire Capable, Reliable Employees

ASAP for Credit Unions Reduces the Time, Cost and Uncertainty Associated with Traditional, Outdated Staffing Practices

Charleston, SC – December 16, 2009 – Wonderlic, Inc., a recognized leader in the development of recruiting, assessment and retention solutions, today announced the launch of ASAP for Credit Unions™, its Automated Staff Acquisition Platform that helps credit unions hire talented employees in less time and with less effort. Specifically developed for the positions found within a credit union, ASAP for Credit Unions is a practical, web-based solution that seamlessly gathers candidate information, objectively evaluates skills and abilities, and presents the results in an easy-to-understand format that allows institutions to quickly compare candidates and select the top few to bring in for interviews. ASAP for Credit Unions reduces the amount of time managers spend interviewing candidates by as much as 75%, and produces significantly better results than interviews alone.

ASAP for Credit Unions includes an online job board, branded for each institution, that allows candidates to apply for positions 24 X 7. It guides applicants step-by-step through the entire application process, gathering critical, job-related information in a consistent, legally defensible manner. It also assesses applicants’ skills and abilities based on the specific job for which they are applying.

Based on decades of research, Wonderlic is keenly aware of the attributes required for each position within a credit union and has incorporated this knowledge into a solution that is as technologically advanced as it is practical and effective. The service is turnkey and all inclusive, with pre-defined selection criteria and process for each position, including job-specific applications, assessments and interview guides for the following positions:

•  Branch Manager
• Assistant Branch Manager
• Loan Officer
• Loan Clerk
• Teller
• Member Services Representative

What separates ASAP for Credit Unions from other alternatives is the focus on collecting relevant, job-specific information in a simple and pragmatic manner. As a turnkey solution, ASAP for Credit Unions can be up and running almost immediately.

"We spoke with one organization that received an astonishing 138 applications for a front-desk position, creating an enormous burden just to do a cursory review and toss out the ones that didn’t meet the minimum requirements," said Wonderlic Market Manager Thomas S. Dittrich. "ASAP for Credit Unions streamlines the process and helps managers quickly determine which candidates are most likely to succeed before making the first phone call."
