Wonderlic Launches ASAP for Property Management TM, A Web-Based Solution to Help Residential Property Management Firms Quickly Hire Capable, Reliable Employees

Specifically developed for the positions found within residential property management firms, ASAP for Property Management (http://propertymanagement.wonderlic-asap.com) is a practical, web-based solution that automatically gathers and organizes candidate information, eliminating paperwork and clutter. It objectively evaluates a candidate's skills and abilities based on the specific position, and presents the results in an intuitive, color-coded format that allows an organization to quickly compare all candidates and select the top few to bring in for interviews. ASAP for Property Management reduces the amount of time managers have to spend interviewing candidates by as much as 75%, and produces significantly better results than interviews alone.

This turnkey solution includes an online job board that allows candidates to apply for positions 24 X 7. The job board is branded for each organization, but hosted on Wonderlic's servers. There is no need for an organization to make any changes to its website or even have a website. The intuitive interface guides candidates step-by-step through the entire process, gathering critical hiring information in a consistent and legally defensible manner.

"In a bustling business employing some 1,200 people at multiple locations nationwide, streamlining the hiring process for consistency, quality and excellence is paramount," said Carlee Cate, Director of Recruiting for Alliance Residential. "During the first 12 months after we started to use the Wonderlic assessments, we saw a 20 percent reduction in turnover for onsite positions. Wonderlic helped us streamline the hiring process and get the best associates hired for each job."

Based on decades of research, Wonderlic is keenly aware of the attributes required for each position within residential property management organizations and has incorporated this knowledge into a practical and effective solution that is technologically advanced. The service is complete and turnkey, providing job-specific applications, assessments and structured behavioral interview guides for the following positions:

The ASAP for Property Management solution can be up and running almost immediately.

"Long hours, demanding residents and modest pay all contribute to the high employee turnover rates experienced by most residential property management companies," said Thomas S. Dittrich, Market Manager at Wonderlic. "In fact, a 2009 survey by the National Multi Housing Council reported an astonishing annual turnover rate of 54.9% for leasing consultants nationwide and 43.4% for maintenance technicians. ASAP for Property Management streamlines the process and helps managers quickly determine which candidates are most likely to succeed, and most likely to stay, before making the first phone call."
