Freightliner Group Selects PeopleAnswers
Dallas – May 22, 2002 - PeopleAnswers, a leading innovator
of online behavioral assessment tools, announced an agreement
to provide its assessment tools to LoneStar Freightliner Group,
a leading land transportation dealer group employing 400 employees
in 9 locations in the southwest.
"LoneStar Freightliner is an innovative, forward looking
company," said Calvin Carter, VP Business Development
for PeopleAnswers. "They understand that the foundation
of their competitive advantage lies in their people, both
in sales, operations and service. They have selected PeopleAnswers
to help them maintain this edge, in their current staff and
future hires."
PeopleAnswers' patent pending CASPER software engine identifies
key behavioral traits in premium employees, then seeks out
these specific traits in new applicants or existing employees.
The result is a higher number of top performers, lower turn-over,
and lower recruiting costs.
"We're very excited about the positive effect PeopleAnswers
will have on our business", said Gerald Chunn, Partner
of LoneStar Freightliner. "As businesses grow, it becomes
increasingly difficult to maintain high quality standards
across a growing work force. We're confident that PeopleAnswers
will maintain and improve the competitive advantage of our
quality professionals that we enjoy today."
LoneStar Freightliner will initially use the PeopleAnswers
system to develop Top Performer Profiles and assess applicants
against those profiles.
