Human Resources Research Organization (HumRRO)
The Human Resources Research Organization (HumRRO) was founded in 1958 and currently has roughly 135 full-time staff. We are a non-profit organization specializing in R&D supporting testing programs used in government, education, industry, and the non-profit community. In addition to our work in certification and licensure testing, we develop tests and measures used for large-scale employee selection, promotion, and performance appraisal systems. HumRRO also provides R&D and consulting services related to a wide range of other areas associated with the improvement of individual and organizational performance, including training development, survey research, and program evaluation. We enjoy a strong reputation for quality work in multiple arenas.
HumRRO staff members are excited, engaged in each new challenge, and bring top-notch quality to our work. For our certification clients, we generally have small teams led by a Ph.D. or Master’s-level project director who is directly involved in all aspects of the work.
HumRRO provides the following services to our certification clients:
- Conducting job analysis studies
- Designing and validating a wide variety of test types (e.g., multiple-choice, live and computer-based performance tests, situational judgment tests, oral exams)
