RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif.— Eyefinity has announced a partnership that will allow its clients to receive preferred pricing on the Optimize hiring tool.

A provider of business solutions to the eyecare industry, Eyefinity now offers its customers the opportunity to use Optimize for selecting and hiring staff more effectively. Optimize employs proven scientific assessments, including cognitive ability, motivation, personality and initiative tests created by Dr. Adam Grant, an award-winning teacher, researcher and tenured management professor at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and chief consultant at Optimize.

Optimize asked employees at more than 100 ECP offices across the U.S. to take assessment tests and then linked employee scores to their actual performance data, including sales revenue and supervisor ratings. Dr. Grant and Optimize found that employees who scored high on the scientific assessments generated, on average, $100,000 more revenue per year than those who scored low. “Optimize’s hiring solution helps alleviate the anxiety of the hiring process and helps you find motivated, results-oriented employees that contribute to the success of your business,” said James Kirchner, OD, chief professional officer for Eyefinity, a VSP Global company.
