Testimonials

The following are testimonial statements from individuals who have found the Survey to be helpful in their task of selecting and developing people:

"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."


Burton L. Bank, President
Chesapeake Interlink, Ltd.

"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."


James A. Adams, President
West Lawn Communications

"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."

Brian Friend, Plant Manager
Greif Brothers Corporation, Atlanta, GA

"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."

Amy Key, General manager,
Hughes and Coleman, Bowling Green, KY

"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."

Linda Thomas, General Manager,
William Berg and Associates, Alameda, CA

"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. "

Gregory Stokes, Esq,
Stokes & Kopitsky, Atlanta, GA

"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."

Walter Lim, President, Aerosol Services, Inc.
City of Industry, CA (9-year users)

"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."

Susan Dailey, Personnel Director
Shirlo Incorporated, Memphis, TN (11-year users)

"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."
