Towers Perrin's Campus Recruiting Program Gets an A+

CHERRY HILL, NJ, (January 15, 2006) - Towers Perrin selected InterviewDirect ON-CAMPUS to recruit at more schools, to improve the quality of the students interviewed on campus, and to utilize fewer resources.

Trend Integration's InterviewDirect ON-CAMPUS product was selected to pre-screen students at over 70 campuses nationwide for Actuarial and Health and Welfare consulting positions for their 2005/2006 recruiting season. These are challenging, highly competitive, and difficult to fill positions.

These positions require top tier talent, strong communicators, and demonstrated leadership skills. InterviewDirect was the solution that could pre-qualify students quickly for these skills. The InterviewDirect products provides a single source for applicant screening where you listen to applicants respond to interview questions, review writing samples and evaluate resumes. This robust screening capability had a dramatic effect on the quality of the students interviewed on campus, and ultimately hired into the Company.

Jennifer Warne, Staffing Manager, states: "InterviewDirect significantly improved our on-campus college recruiting process." The InterviewDirect Student Comparison Grid enabled recruiters to quickly screen students for written and verbal communication skills, and content, by reading and listening to their answers to open-ended questions.

Ms. Warne went on to say, "The results are impressive - in our first recruiting season using InterviewDirect at colleges and universities nationwide, we advanced more qualified students and exceeded our overall process improvement goals. We couldn't be more pleased!" Further evidence of their success is the reaction of the on-campus interviewers. These business consultants were pleasantly pleased with the caliber of the students they interviewed - a dramatic improvement from previous recruiting seasons.

Towers Perrin plans to use InterviewDirect in future college recruiting cycles, and will continue to pre-screen their student applicants for communication and consulting skills.

InterviewDirect ON-CAMPUS is a direct descendent of the award-winning InterviewDirect CLASSIC which was released in June 2004.
