A Partner You Can Rely On
Long History of Successful Global Assessment Program Delivery
Both public and private sectors have relied on us to deliver critical programs for decades. Many of these programs are subject to public scrutiny, and the risk of litigation is high. No talent solution developed or delivered by PDRI has been successfully challenged in a legal context.
Unmatched Assessment Development Experience
We develop and validate assessments for thousands of customers. Our clients include:
- Fortune 500 companies
- Federal civilian agencies
- Federal defense agencies
- Homeland security
- Federal intelligence agencies
Industry-recognized Assessment Validation
We design and execute validation strategies suitable to the types of tests to be used, the types of jobs included, the practicality of data collection approaches, and potential legal risks. In addition, we develop and implement industry-leading alternative validation strategies (e.g., synthetic validity, transported validity).
Award-Winning Team
Members of our staff are internationally recognized psychometric and assessment development and validation experts. PDRI Team members have won notable awards for their contributions, including the SIOP’s Distinguished Professional Contributions Award, Distinguished Scientific Contributions Award, Distinguished Early Career Contributions Award, Owens Award for Best Professional Publication, the Workforce Magazine Game Changer Award, and the American Psychological Association Gold Medal Award.
Our staff regularly publish, most recently bringing a new volume dedicated to assessment to market (Kantrowitz, Reynolds, & Scott, 2023).
