History

Chally Group Worldwide was founded in 1973 through a grant from the U.S. Justice Department to develop selection assessments to measure the skills and motivations of police candidates and predict who would be most successful. Our measurements had to be accurate, statistically valid predictors, and legally defensible.

Chally’s success led us to our next goal (also in 1973), to adapt our assessments to the study of managers, salespeople and marketing environments. Since that time, we have developed research databases of more than 400,000 salespeople, leaders, and professionals. Our current database also includes over 400 predictive validation studies.

Today, Chally is an internationally recognized technology leader in scientific research data for selection, development, alignment and succession planning. Chally is also recognized as the pioneer in World Class sales force benchmark research and continues to analyze and deliver research for the Global Leadership Research Project.
