About Our Company

Alchemy was the medieval forerunner of chemistry, based on the supposed transformation of matter. It was concerned with attempts to convert base metals (like lead) into gold. WORKFORCE ALCHEMY is kind of like that, except with people and businesses.

We provide various skill, attitude, and personality-based psychometric assessment tools and training to help employers with employee selection, engagement, and retention.
