PeopleMaps Facebook Application - Psychologist in a Box

The PeopleMaps Facebook application was launched last week - it's called Psychologist in a Box.

Facebookers complete the very same questionnaire that ever other PeopleMaps visitor does - and they get to display a set of 5 specially created mini-profiles on their Facebook home page. They're able to see their friends' profiles, and can vote to "agree" or "disagree" with them.

Well over two and a half thousand Facebookers have installed Psychologist in a Box already - and we're hoping to release some new features soon to increase value for them. It's a truly useful Facebook addition, in a landscape of thousands of time sucking activities, and we believe it's the only personality-based application on there derived from a professional psychology base.

Do you Facebook? Download Psychologist in a Box and add something useful to your FBProfile.   

Great teams make great companies make great profits

Personalities play a big part in team dynamics - we don't have to tell you that!

Understanding those personalities and how they can work together most successfully can take quite a bit of work.

What's that? PeopleMaps has just released a personality profile report that can tell you all of that in minutes?

A report specifically for Team Building? Yippeeeeeee....

No minimum order required - only buy what you need!

Great news! You can now buy PeopleMaps reports in singles - buying only what you need when you need them!

We've removed the need for you to buy reports in packs, so if you want to buy one Sales profile, one Managers profile or one ShortlistAssist profile, you can do it.

If you just want to buy one ShortlistAssist report (or one of any other) from us ever - you can!

You told us this feature would make it easier for you to use the reports, and now it is!

Service with a Smile?

Question: How does customer experience  affect your business?
Answer: There's a general rule that twice as many people tend to be told about a bad customer experience that about a good one.

Whatever the statistic, we're sure you aim for excellence in customer service...

And giving good customer service isn't going to be easy if you have the wrong person in the role.  Hudson  delivers most of the PeopleMaps customer service - and he's great at it. He really cares about helping people out - and understands the most important function of his role is to make anyone who contacts him feel good about dealing with PeopleMaps.

We're lucky we have Hudson - some of you will be recruiting for the customer service role, and anxious that you find someone with as much conviction.

We can help! We've just released a PeopleMaps personality profile especially for customer service staff.

Dealing with topics of particular importance to customer service success, this report offers you the opportunity to measure up each candidate on much more than their experience and qualifications.

You can see what the report contains here. Any questions, just shoot Hudson an email, and he'll do his very best to make sure you're smiling!   

Making your Job Application Process easy as pie

We've enabled the Job Application Manager feature for all our corporate users.

This feature allows you to create job application forms in your Management Centre, and use these to create full profiles for your candidates - linked to their personality profile.

I've just created a job vacancy for a part-time web designer to help me with the PeopleMaps front end. I've asked for some basic information including contact details, skills and experience - if you have an existing application form, you will just use that as a template - and the beautiful thing is that I can send my candidates straight to the unique URL and get them to apply online, before they're automatically directed to take the personality questionnaire.

It's another feature to make your recruitment process easier - and best of all - it doesn't cost you any extra money.

If you want to try it out - make sure you've signed up for a corporate account - and ask Hudson to switch it on for you.
