Testimonials Return to assessment. The following are testimonial statements from individuals who have found the Survey to be helpful in their task of selecting and developing people: "John may have told you that I went against some of the very obvious issues on 2 of the applicants tests and hired them anyway. Now I am paying the price! So I am really dissecting these reports and if they display any negative social issues or exhibit traits where they cannot accept responsibility for their own actions, they are not coming to work for me! It cost too much to hire, train and let them go for me to not be as careful as possible when I make the choice to employ someone. And if your clients do not use the reports constructively, then they are foolish!." "Personally, I've discovered, after
many years of interviewing personnel for staff positions, that the
interview, the resume and the phones calls for references did not give
me a full and complete picture of the applicant. I have sat behind my
desk hour after hour, gazing into the eyes of such applicants, hoping
that some magic thing would happen that would make me aware of whether
or not this person would do a good job as an employee of my company. It
was only after I met you and became aware of your survey that I was
made to realize which items or characteristics I had been overlooking." "Thanks for the very effective day
and a half training session with our management team. You successfully
covered the topics appropriate to our particular problems at the
present time. Your obvious experience and communication skills
contributed to a very successful program. We will contact you again
next year - this will very likely be an annual event." "In essence, I will say thanks for
all the many times you have helped me grow and improve. There are few
people who I can say have made a difference for me. The training
classes you put together for me were great, but what I miss the most is
our times of conversation, sharing of ideas, planning, and just
discussing change and how "I" and "we" wished things could be. I may
depart not accomplishing everything I attempted. But, I know this plant
was in an improvement mode and we were on our way toward being a better
place." "This test amazes me even more
every time I give it. It also makes me feel better about my own
judgment as an interviewer. Nothing in the results really surprised me,
especially the part about her wanting to move up and be more
challenged. She asked about upward mobility in the company during the
interview. I love this test!! It makes me feel more confident that the
relationship will last when I hire someone new. In the past, I felt as
though it was always a gamble, a 50/50 shot of the person making it.
Thanks." "The Simmons Test has been really
beneficial in helping us determine if a prospective employee will be a
good match for us. Those employees who did well on the test have turned
out to be great workers. We've also hired employees who didn't do so
well on the test, and unfortunately more than one of them is no longer
with our firm." "Over the years your services have
proved to be invaluable. When we hired in line with your
recommendation, every new hire was a success, and when we hired against
the test it turned out to be a painful experience... Best regards. " "The Personal Survey provides the
insight necessary to stimulate goal setting and personal growth. This
helps our people to improve relationships with others and to become
more effective in their jobs." "Our leadership study has already
proved immensely valuable. Through Survey usage, we are now developing
our best-coordinated management team. I have more confidence in our
corporate growth and capability than ever before." "The Survey has helped us decrease
employee related costs (time spent in selection and supervision,
turnover, absenteeism, waste, shrinkage, etc.). At the same time, it
has helped us to increase productivity, sales, and profits." "Survey results are economical and
are very competitively priced. Considering what I get in terms of
higher productivity and lower costs, I have found them to be highly
cost-effective. I recommend the Survey to anyone who knows the value of
having good employees." Return to assessment. |
