SEPTEMBER 20, 2018, GLENDALE, CA – Development Dimensions International, Inc., (DDI) a human resources and leadership development consultancy and front-runner in leadership selection, development, and succession planning, recently divested its pre-employment testing assets to PSI Services LLC (PSI), a global workforce assessment and management solutions provider.
PSI will acquire DDI’s automated pre-employment testing content, including customizable career batteries and adaptive reasoning tests, adding to PSI’s suite of talent measurement solutions for healthcare, manufacturing, sales, professional individual contributors, support services, and customer service.
“Over the course of nearly five decades, DDI has built a strong reputation on the quality and accuracy of our assessment services, and we’ve seen a growing demand from companies that want to use our assessments to bring more objectivity into their hiring and promotion decisions,” said Tacy Byham, CEO of DDI. “As the market has grown, we made the decision to focus our core business exclusively on serving leaders. Because PSI is one of the most reputable testing companies in the world, we believe that they are the right company to acquire our testing services for non-leadership roles and continue our legacy of providing top-tier service and innovation to our clients.”
Harbor View Advisors served as exclusive financial advisor to DDI in the transaction.
