CIO WebStudio Episode 54: Saleem Qureshi, President & COO, HireLabs Inc.
In his interview with Jehan Ara on “In the Line of Wire” Saleem Qureshi, President & COO HireLabs Inc., talks about the need for employment assessment so that people are placed in the right professions, in the right departments and at the right level of competency.
Saleem and his company work mainly with large organizations to ensure that all employees and potential employees are assessed to determine that they are right for the jobs they are being placed in. I asked him if similar assessments could be used to determine which disciplines kids should select when entering university and what kind of professions they were suitable for.
Saleem answers this and many other questions in this episode of ITLoW.
What is HireLabs? According to Saleem, HireLabs is the leading innovator of pre-employment assessment services. Their goal is to streamline and simplify the HR decision-making process to maximize talent alignment while minimizing company costs. HireLabs works in collaboration with data collected from the US Department of Labor and Stanford University to create the next generation in employment assessments.
Saleem Qureshi studied Finance and worked as COO for Zurya for 4 years, and as Managing Director at Internet Landrush Private Equity before he co-founded Hirelabs. He is presently President and COO of HireLabs.
Since Human Resource development has been identified as one of the key focus areas by most organizations, perhaps HireLabs can help develop ways of tackling the challenges being faced.
