PBS specializes in employee selection, evaluation, training, development, and retention. We were founded in September of 1999, and offer consulting services as well as assessment products.

We have a proven track record of effectiveness.  The current PBS team worked together for many years as the branch office of a larger and independent consulting firm before forming PBS.  We have known and worked with many of our current clients for 10, 20, and even 30 years.

All of our consultants hold Ph.D.s in industrial psychology, and have extensive and practical experience in:

• job analysis;
• competency modeling;
• skill gap analysis and development;
• test development and validation;
• satisfaction surveys and culture audits;
• performance management programs;
• EEO compliance; and
• litigation support.

Whether custom-designed or off-the-shelf, all PBS assessment tools are:

• valid—measuring competencies required for successful on-the-job performance, including knowledges, skills, abilities, or personal characteristics.
• reliable—supported by sound and professional administration procedures, manuals, and guides.
• flexible—accommodating different local hiring needs, contexts, and applicants/participants.
• fair—giving all applicants an equal opportunity to display their qualifications.
• practical—easy to administer, score, and interpret.
• well-accepted by applicants/participants—asking job-related, non-intrusive, and non-offensive questions.
• defensible—validated in compliance with all relevant standards, laws, and guidelines.
  

We are renowned for our customer service, high standards, and quality products.  We take pride in our team-oriented and practical approach to problem solving and our ability to tailor and customize our services and products to our clients' needs. Our client relationships are built upon trust, confidence, and performance.

Our goal is to strengthen existing partnerships, create new relationships, and help our clients to capitalize on opportunities for excellence.
