ABOUT IRONHORSE SURVEYS
COMPANY BACKGROUND

What:
IronHorse Surveys LLC is an online provider of university recruitment evaluation tools. We design and host a wide range of quantitative assessment products to measure the effectiveness of client companies' recruitment initiatives, from sourcing techniques to customer feedback to retention analysis - the entire staffing continuum.

Why:
IronHorse Surveys LLC was created to address the convergence of two emerging workplace forces: the acknowledgment of continuous improvement as a powerful competitive analysis tool - and the state-of-the-art efficiency and cost-effectiveness of leveraging Web-based technologies. IronHorse Surveys LLC provides client companies with the full range of traditional evaluation and assessment methodologies - at Web speed.

How:
IronHorse Surveys are hosted on our secure Web servers in West Hartford, Connecticut. Client companies provide us with target group contact information, and we manage the survey process from questionnaire design to data collection and reporting - all via the Internet. Survey participants are assured that their online responses will be reported to the client in aggregate only, thereby providing anonymity and encouraging candor - critical components of meaningful information gathering. And because targeted survey members will each be assigned a unique, encrypted set of credentials that authorize their participation, clients are therefore ensured of the integrity of the data that are generated - and the validity of the reported survey results.
