Maharashtra Government might soon map the brains of applicants to assess their suitability to the jobs they are applying for, before recruiting them, a private agency said today.

Sanda Excellence, an agency, which has tied up with UK-based firm, bringing in 'Prism brain mapping technology', is in talks with Maharashtra Government to adopt the technique in their recruitments.

"We are in talks with state governments and started with Maharashtra, where we will be launching a pilot project," Program Director, Prism and country head of Sanda Excellence, Hemang Laheru told reporters here.

The company intends to get the prism software translated into Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati and Bengali and other regional languages.

The technology is also being increasingly adopted in private companies, who want the suitable candidates for their posts.

Laheru said few companies in Mumbai and Goa have already started training their managers in the Prism technology.

"Prism does not make any decision. It helps you recruit your employee," he said.

Laheru said that Prism applications include recruitment, team building, leadership development, sales training, 360 degree feedback, job benchmarking, conflict resolution, diversity training, customer service, performance management, succession planning communication skills and emotional intelligence profiling.

"It measures the things that people like doing and the behavioural characteristics ties related to those things," he said.
