HealthcareSource and TestSource Extend Partnership To Improve Healthcare Providers’ Selection

Preferred Partnership enables joint customers to better assess applicants and improve the quality of new hires

WINCHESTER, Mass., May 1, 2009 – HealthcareSource®, the leading provider of talent management software solutions to the healthcare industry, and TestSource, the leading provider of assessment and test solutions to the healthcare industry, today announced they have formed a Preferred Partnership. The partnership will result in no-cost integrations for shared customers and enhanced product integration. The partnership extends a long-standing relationship between the two companies that has resulted in over 80 integrated customers.

HealthcareSource Position Manager® is the leading applicant tracking solution for healthcare, used at over 1,000 hospitals. TestSource’s Healthcare Selection Inventory (HSI) is a behavioral assessment that identifies the very best applicants in terms of customer service, employee retention, and job performance. It is used at over 400 hospitals. The integration between the two products incorporates the assessment into the online job application. Human Resource recruiters are notified of completed assessments directly within Position Manager, and Feedback Reports are easily generated through the integration between Position Manager and the HSI. As a result, recruiters work more efficiently in evaluating the very best applicants for their organization.

“Our customers have told us that they view Position Manager as their hiring dashboard, and want to manage all aspects of the recruiting and hiring process from within Position Manager. We launched our Preferred Partnership program to meet that need,” said Michael DiPietro, Vice President of Marketing for HealthcareSource. “The integrated TestSource HSI and HealthcareSource Position Manager solution makes life much easier for busy healthcare HR professionals. And more importantly, it helps them improve retention and quality of care by supporting selection of best fit candidates.”

A key component to the partnership is that integration will be provided to customers at no cost. In addition, HealthcareSource and TestSource announced plans to develop deeper integration. “We conducted a focus group with joint customers and believe we have identified some very powerful features that will improve the speed and quality of candidate selection. Our intent is to develop these features, provide tighter integration and offer more value to users of both solutions,” said DiPietro.

“We extended the partnership because our organizational goals are so well aligned,” said Rich Korc, Vice-President of TestSource. “Both companies place client satisfaction as our top priority, we’re both focused exclusively on healthcare, and strive to provide excellent solutions that exceed our client’s expectations. Our customers tell us they receive a high level of value with our organizations working so well together,” added Korc. Other elements of the partnership include joint support collaboration, joint marketing programs, involvement in user conferences, and more.
