IKM and aCE talentNET will co-operatively introduce the benefits of knowledge measurement to organisations to improve resource productivity

Melbourne – Australia , February 8 th 2007. IKM, a leading provider of web-based employee and candidate knowledge measurement solutions and services, today announce a partnership with aCE talentNET, a consulting and solutions company specialising in project placements.

Used for pre-hire testing, pre- and post-training evaluation, skill audits, project resource planning, benchmarking and certification, IKM's assessments determine skills, knowledge, aptitude and attitude for most disciplines including IT, Sales, Project Management, ERP or Basic Computer Skills.

Through the application of knowledge measurement, organisations can more accurately pinpoint resourcing requirements and dramatically improve the bottom line.

With the ability to reduce hiring time by 55%, reduce training costs by 22%, reduce staff attrition by 15% or reduce the assessment development time by 95%, aCE talentNET will introduce IKM's assessments to its blue chip client base to improve resource productivity.

“aCE talentNET helps organisations meet business objectives through the timely provision of quality consultants. We see a great opportunity for our client base to further capitalise on the resourcing process through the use of knowledge measurement,” said Denise Hall, Director, aCE talentNET.

Unlike other solutions, IKM assessment methodology provides the greatest amount of feedback of a candidate's or employee's exact strengths and weaknesses in the shortest possible time.

“IKM's unique ability to produce a detailed view of knowledge levels ultimately facilitates better decision-making. Companies should take advantage of this to develop clear resourcing and educational strategies and design project teams that will deliver on time and on budget,” said Hall.

“IKM allows you to accurately plan and optimise the workforce. We are delighted to be working with aCE talentNET to introduce the benefits of knowledge measurement to the greater market,” said Frank Palinkas, VP Asia Pacific, IKM.
