WOODSTOCK, GA--(Marketwire - Feb 28, 2012) - PeopleClues, an industry leader in workplace assessments, today announced details of its expansion into the United Kingdom. With increased international demand for the company's modern, validated behavioral assessments for recruiting, U.K. expansion is a logical step for the organization, whose assessment solutions are used by thousands of companies across eight countries. Recently appointed managing director of PeopleClues in the United Kingdom, Nigel Newman will lead growth and operations in this market.
As managing director, Newman is responsible for business sales, marketing and overall support of the company's operations as it expands throughout the U.K. He brings more than 20 years of experience in the use of psychometric assessment for recruiting and developing effective personnel.

The U.K. expansion is fueled by growing demand for the company's affordable and easy-to-use online assessment platform as well as PeopleClues' strong reputation. Recently, PeopleClues earned its certification from the British Psychological Society. The Society aims to promote the application of psychology for public good and to contribute psychological expertise to the decision making process. Certification by the Society is widely-coveted throughout the recruiting industry and designates PeopleClues' assessment techniques as a valid and defensible psychological tool for the commercial market.
"As more businesses seek innovative ways to identify best-fit candidates and develop existing talent, the demand for PeopleClues' valuable assessment solutions in the U.K. continues to grow," said Newman. "I am excited to work with companies who wish to benefit from the award-winning and widely recognized benchmarking, applicant ranking and data mining capabilities that PeopleClues provides."
