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

ASAP for Property Management Reduces the Time, Cost and Uncertainty Associated with Traditional, Outdated Property Management Office Staffing Practices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 Property Management™, its Automated Staff Acquisition Platform that helps property management firms hire talented employees in less time and with less effort. Specifically developed for the positions found within a property management firm, ASAP for Property Management 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 organizations to quickly compare candidates and select the top few to bring in for interviews. ASAP for Property Management  reduces the amount of time managers spend interviewing candidates by as much as 75%, and produces significantly better results than interviews alone.

ASAP for Property Management includes an online job board, branded for each organization, 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 property management organization 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:

• Administrative Assistant
• Bookkeeper
• Collector
• Custodian
• Groundskeeper
• Housekeeper
• Leasing Consultant
• Maintenance Supervisor
• Maintenance Technician
• Maintenance Helper
• Property Manager
• Assistant Property Manager

What separates ASAP for Property Management from other alternatives is the focus on collecting relevant, job-specific information in a simple and pragmatic manner. As a turnkey solution, ASAP for Property Management 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."
