pan Joins PeopleSoft Partner Connection Program

February 2004. Indianapolis, IN - Performance Assessment Network, Inc. (“pan”), a leading provider of computerized personnel tests and assessments, has joined the PeopleSoft® Partner Connection Program. Associated with this announcement, pan plans to integrate its web-based Vita talent management solution with PeopleSoft Enterprise Recruiting Solutions.

Vita features pre-employment testing and other assessments from pan's extensive catalogues. Pre-employment testing reduces the cost and time associated with recruiting, hiring, and managing employees and is a key element in many staffing and training programs. By tracking the entire selection, assessment, and development cycle and providing real-time reports and profiles, Vita helps customers meet EEOC and other compliance standards. Job seekers benefit by ready access to the examinations, quick delivery of results to hiring managers, and a standardized, reliable assessment session using scientifically validated testing products. Hiring managers use the system to help them objectively assess the skills, aptitudes, traits, and attitudes of job candidates.

PeopleSoft Enterprise Recruiting Solutions delivers a complete, integrated solution that enables organizations to effectively manage hiring and talent management for all employee categories -- full-time, part-time, contingent, contractor, exempt and non-exempt -- all from a single platform. Featuring comprehensive functionality, an underlying global architecture, and tight integration with PeopleSoft Human Capital Management, PeopleSoft Recruiting Solutions provides world class hiring and onboarding. Everyone involved in the hiring process -- applicants, recruiters, hiring managers, external suppliers -- can collaborate in real-time, helping organizations find and hire the best applicants in the shortest amount of time.

"PeopleSoft has a well-earned quality reputation among staffing and human resource professionals worldwide and we are very pleased to join their Partner Connection Program," commented David Pfenninger Ph.D., CEO of pan.
