About The Founder...
Dr. Rafilson, the founder of I/O Solutions, has spent his entire career in personnel selection. He holds a Doctorate in Industrial/Organizational Psychology and has personally developed and implemented hundreds of assessment programs for federal, state, and county/municipal agencies.

Prior to establishing I/O Solutions, Dr. Rafilson led the research and development and marketing efforts for two of America’s most successful employment test publishing and human resources consulting companies. After these assignments, he joined a consulting firm to develop and market human resource products and services specifically for police, sheriff's and fire departments throughout the nation. He took that firm from a start-up to one of the nation's largest.

Dr. Rafilson’s reputation and credibility are well established. His extensive knowledge of public safety selection serve as the underpinning of the firm, and his success in team building has been carried forward and woven into every project I/O Solutions executes. He routinely provides training and lectures to national law enforcement and fire service associations, has worked as a consultant with the U.S. Department of Justice, and has published many scholarly articles about public safety entrance exams, physical ability tests, and personality assessments. Major trade publications in which his articles have appeared include Police Chief magazine, Law and Order magazine, Law Enforcement News magazine, and Fire Engineering magazine.
