Breakthrough in Handwriting Analysis Leads to Revolutionary Hiring Tool

Wed, 19 Mar 2008 15:18:12 GMT

TEMECULA, Calif., March 19 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Written Inc. has developed a breakthrough technology which has led to the first significant improvement to the 150-year-old science of handwriting analysis. This week, the company released the latest version of their personality assessment tool, Candidate Insight(TM).

The enhancements made to this new version will help clients to virtually eliminate hiring mistakes. And, as the economy continues to slow and revenues shrink, more than ever, companies cannot afford costly hiring mistakes. One bad apple can ruin the culture, drive the good people out and seriously impact the bottom line.

As a result, more and more companies are seeking innovative solutions to improve their candidate selection process. Interviews, resumes, background checks and traditional personality tests fall short when it comes to revealing the candidate's true personality.

That's where Candidate Insight comes in. The solution reveals hundreds of hidden personality traits, most of which have never been available to employers prior to hiring.

"Imagine the benefit of knowing, with ninety-five percent accuracy, that the candidate a client is about to make an offer to is argumentative, dishonest, moody and inflexible?" Ryan Vener, Written Inc.'s vice president, queried. "We can even tell clients if the candidate is violent. No other hiring tool or other personality assessment even comes close to our accuracy and insight."

In their research, Written Inc. discovered that traditional handwriting analysis was too simplistic when examining the relationship between characteristics and traits. The one-to-one relationship that's often used - for example crossing a "t" this way means "x" - resulted in ambiguous and inaccurate results. Written Inc. found that a person's handwriting, or as they refer to it - "written body language" - is far more complex and requires technology to get it right.

This newest version of Candidate Insight incorporates artificial intelligence and a sophisticated relational database that keeps track of these complex relationships.

Candidate Insight is fast and easy to administer. Job applicants are simply asked to copy two short paragraphs onto a form that is then faxed to Written, Inc. The company's handwriting specialists analyze the samples with the aid of a software application. The reports are then uploaded as a PDF file to a secure web site where clients can access them directly.

Business consultant and sales training guru, Patrick Cahill of MAC Venture Group in New York City, advises all of his clients to use Candidate Insight.

"After reviewing the numbers, we found that eighty-seven percent of our clients had made a serious hiring mistake in the last two years," Cahill explained. "We estimated the average cost to each client to be upwards of $300,000. By adding this simple and inexpensive tool to their hiring process, they've virtually eliminated these hiring mistakes."

M2SYS Introduces Revolutionary Biometric Artificial Intelligence Technology to Significantly Reduce Fingerprint Software False Reject Rates

Wed, 27 Feb 2008 11:35:18 GMT

Award-Winning Fingerprint Biometrics Firm Leverages Innovative Dynamic Profiling Technique to Resolve the Widespread Industry Problem of False Negative Match Results

ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 27 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- M2SYS, an award-winning biometric technology research and development firm, announced today the release of their newest fingerprint biometrics innovation: Bio-AI(TM). This exciting new artificial intelligence enhancement uses a unique "dynamic profiling" technique to learn about a person's fingerprints over time. This knowledge enables the fingerprint software to take actions that mitigate the chance of generating a false reject following a fingerprint scan.

A false reject (or false negative) in terms of biometric technology occurs when the system fails to identify a successfully enrolled user. In other words, although a biometric template exists for the user that is attempting to be identified, the biometric system returns a "no match found" result, and user authentication is denied.

The probability that a biometrics system will produce a false reject is known as the false reject rate (FRR). The FRR is a critical variable involved in the successful selection and deployment of a fingerprint identification system. False rejects are extremely frustrating, and can also lead to increased costs and decreased productivity for companies that have invested in fingerprint biometrics.

Through constant communication with thousands of end user deployments over many vertical markets, M2SYS was able to recognize the real-world benefit of a solution to the false reject problem. The installation of Bio-AI(TM) reduces the need for users to perfectly align their finger during identification scans, which improves usability and increases the likelihood of a fingerprint match. Production deployments of Bio-AI(TM) have already shown very high success rates.

"False rejects are a common but very serious issue across the entire biometrics industry," states Mizan Rahman, CEO and Chief Scientist of M2SYS. "Undeservedly being unable to clock in for work or being denied the ability to pick up your child from daycare can have serious consequences. With Bio-AI(TM), M2SYS is again solving a vital issue in fingerprint biometrics and reasserting its role as a biometric technology innovator."

About M2SYS Technology
Recipient of Frost & Sullivan's 2007 Biometrics Technology Innovation of the Year Award, M2SYS Technology, www.m2sys.com, is a recognized leader in fingerprint biometrics, delivering a variety of turn-key fingerprint software solutions and fingerprint readers for businesses and consumers.

In this way, patients can receive the best medical care possible." states Rogers Hellman, founder of Gnosis.

"Proper identification of patients in developing countries is critical in providing quality healthcare," states Michael Trader, President of M2SYS. "Without medical history records, there is no way for a doctor to know of patients' past illnesses or medical allergies, which hinders effective treatment. We are proud to partner with Gnosis for such an altruistic project, and are excited to continually provide innovative biometric solutions that will improve the quality of life for individuals throughout the world."
