Assess Systems was very professional and came to the sales presentation very client-specific prepared. Assess Systems was very good at listening to the client and responding perfectly. This was by far the best experience I have ever had with an assessment vendor.

IBM Project Manager

Assess Systems had a nice meld of intelligence and an attitude of "easy to deal with" - a great business sense and
an effective product.

Large National Retailer

Assess Systems had the added strategy and value in developing an integrated process. Everyone else tried to sell me a product.

Mike Moerschbacher

Assess Systems responded well to our changes. They made them immediately and were right there with ideas to correct any problems and suggestions for enhancements. I believe our project was successful because of them…it’s been over a year since our project was complete and I can still call them with problems and get a response/solution almost immediately. They were one of the best vendors I’ve ever worked with.

If we are successful in the people selection arena, I attribute a great deal of that success to Assess Systems and how they have advised us in selecting the right people.

We are a user and reseller of the…products designed and produced by Assess Systems . I have worked primarily with them in the technical and implementation aspects of their products. They are easy to work with…they have great forethought in their training procedures and have been able to anticipate most questions our clients or we may initiate. I have great confidence in them to handle any situation that arises.

I would like to take a minute to provide feedbacks with regard to your customer service, your products, and your training. I have been a customer of Assess Systems for about ten years. Working with all of you has been a delight. I have participated in many workshops and other training experiences all of which have been first class. I look forward to many more years of Assess. Thank you for your professional excellence and helpfulness.

Denny Charlton, Ph.D.

In a world of everyone hyping one thing or another of dubious value, I always feel Assess Systems has rock solid professionalism and that I can get great products and the right advice to best serve my clients. Thank you so much.

Maynard Brusman, Ph.D.

I want to say once again how pleased I am with the level of customer service and support you have offered -- undoubtedly the very best I have seen from ANY vendor, EVER. (And please know my standards are very high!) Your technical expertise, pleasant disposition, and unwavering patience with even the most inane questions are to be applauded. With the sales presentations, proposal templates, and other materials you provide us, you make my job very easy. Thank you!

The Assess SSM process has become a "go to" tool for our consulting practice. It is a practical, fast, and efficient process that we have used to create buy-in for leadership development, culture change, succession planning, and change management programs with a variety of international clients. We have used it in the US, Europe, and China with diverse groups of leaders and it has been particularly useful in helping to bridge language, geographic and cultural difference when working with multi-national businesses. It is almost a bonus when the client learns that they can easily have selection and development tools based on the Assess SSM process because they find the structured dialog of the process alone to be so valuable.

Private Consultant

The Assess SSM model has been the core process in assisting me to successfully launch succession planning, leadership development and executive coaching for my clients. It provides a focus for companies to align their selection, development and evaluation strategies and then cascade this process throughout the company.

Ron Beasley, Ph.D.
Sage Concepts, Inc.

The Assess suite of tools is a great resource for my practice, both in marketing and service delivery. They employ solid psychometrics to meet the needs of business people in understanding their talents and taking effective action to improve performance.

Michael Madera, Ph.D.

One big appeal of what you offer is the development aspect, since often clients are not skilled in developing their people. Your products go beyond just helping clients select the best candidates – you provide a starting point for where to focus development efforts in order to increase the likelihood of a successful engagement. It’s helpful to a branch manager, for example, to have the Development Report to use in working with their department managers. Besides the benefit to the subordinate, using Assess helps managers practice and improve their skills at developing people. The competency based reports take it a step further by sharpening the focus on the capabilities that are most critical for success in the specific position and highlighting where shortcomings may exist for the individual. I find that even strong operational leaders often have limited ability in doing this, so having an easy-to-use tool is welcomed.

Marilyn Davis, M.S.

The report and your service to us was exceptional. Thank you so much for every thing you did ...you communicated to us every step of the way, patiently described the process, and maintained the integrity of the report. Thank you so much for your professionalism and your generosity!!! Thank you so much!!!

Manager

I have always believed (and taught) that the difference between good customer service and great customer is "getting it right the second time" - fixing things when they aren't right. Your team has done a terrific job of this, fixing things that we (not you) got wrong the first time. Considering there are 1850 or so Employees involved - each with a Rater and an Approver - we pulled this off pretty well! Thanks again to your and your group.

HR Director
Large Food Distribution Company

I just want to thank you both for your hospitality and for the Assess360 information. I am so pleased to have finally (my fault) had the opportunity to meet you both. Our short time together has reinforced the pride I have felt throughout this past year in being an Assess Systems customer. Frankly, my confidence in your company has actually soared to greater heights after having the opportunity to meet you both. Thank you again and I wish you and your families a wonderful holiday season.

The Assess competency-based reports were a real leap forward for us. The users are now much more able to read and interpret their reports without expert help and we are able to link the Assess output to other competency-based material that we have developed over the years. I've recommended Assess to colleagues and consultants, alike.

When you look at our company website, it's like a new Chevy -- good, solid, dependable. But then you link to yours, it's so clearly a Cadillac! Great graphics -- good well thought out message -- very appealing. All I need to do is help you guys spread the word about where my people need to go and once they get to your site, they will be sold on your professionalism and credibility, and will know the good work you do.

I have used the Assess tool for both the selection of future candidates and employee development. I was very skeptical in the beginning and decided only to try the selection package at first. I have used it for hiring and promoting candidates and it has put more structure into our process. The Assess system is a tool for constructing a more in-depth process centered on the competencies of the position. In all cases, we felt we made a more informed decision based on the process. After going through the training … on the selection tool, we decided to try the development package on a few direct reports…individuals were in agreement with the findings and development suggestions. Overall, I think the development package is a great motivator for stimulating discussions around future plans. I'm requiring all my managers to use this great tool.

Sales Manager of the Technology Sales Team

The info in the reports is very useful when making [managerial] decisions! The results of our validation study indicate the Salesmax assessment is valid predictor of total product sales... it was very encouraging to see that the assessment predicted probably the most important variable -- total sales!

Senior Manager

The users at Anne Grady are amazed at the results they are getting from Select. Their eyes are like ‘deer in the headlights’ and they have a very positive response to the Select reports.

I/O Psychologist/Consultant

No test is infallible either positively or negatively. The biggest benefit of using Select was that it helped me to eliminate candidates that were great on paper but flagged on things like work ethic. Something I would not be able to measure during an interview. Select is an excellent screening tool and a time saver.

HR Manager

Thank you for all of the wonderful support, the opportunity to attend the workshops (one of the most valuable experiences developmentally in my career) and for the wonderful service you provided. I wish you and your comrades continued success!

Just a quick note to thank you for your hard work and an excellent job on these presentations. Your delivery of the project and training information has been exemplary. We are very pleased to be partnering with you on this project.

We love Select -- Just put a class of 14 into CAE training class last week. Select weeded out 50-60% of the original 75 candidates! Thanks for checking in!

HR Manager

As you can see by our Select numbers, we have been doing a lot of Call Center hiring. The good news is that the tool seems to be very effective in helping us identify the stronger candidates.

HR Manager
National Telecommunications Company

We find the Select tests to be an invaluable resource in our hiring process. I don't have the current statistics in front of me, but I can confidently say that our termination rate, voluntary and involuntary, has significantly decreased since we implemented the Select testing program.

HRIS Analyst

I talked with Mike Moerschbacher from Simpson Housing (previously of RCI) and he told me that since they have implemented our integrated selection process a year ago, turnover has dropped from 85% to the high teens. They also have seen a 2.5% increase in revenue, even with the rental property market problems in Colorado. He is doing a presentation to the top HR people in the industry at their national conference in April. He wanted to know if he could give us a plug, and put up a slide with our contact information. Why of course!

Sage Concepts, Inc. is currently a user and reseller of the ASSESS, Select and Salesmax products designed and produced by Assess Systems . I have worked primarily with in the technical and implementation aspects of their products. They are easy to work with; I've found them particularly helpful when I've had a technical problem or request. They have great forethought in their training procedures and have been able to anticipate most questions I or our clients may initiate. Response time is generally less than a day; I usually send an email for non-pressing items, or a phone call for an immediate review. I believe one thing to their advantage is the low turnover of personnel in key positions - they have seen us through the many computer and internet changes in the marketplace - and know their products extremely well.

I have great confidence in them to handle any situation that arises. I recently had a client who needed a particular configuration of a report for their Select data. They worked with us and were willing to create a separate URL to give my client the information they needed. So that way EVERYBODY was happy. We've been with them for close to eight years and would recommend them without hesitation.

When I was hired in 1998, they already had the on-line interview in place from Assess Systems. The project I worked on was integrating the federal WOTC (Work Opportunity Tax Credit) program into the on-line interview. Assess Systems was instrumental in completing the project accurately and on-time. Any of the "major" issues came from us, like changing requirements during the middle of the project, etc. Assess Systems always responded well to our changes. They made our changes immediately and were right there with ideas to correct any problems and suggestions for enhancements. I believe this project was successful because of them. One other thing I liked to mention and that would be post implementation problems. In working with other vendors, I often find problems with support AFTER the software/hardware installed, NOT with Assess Systems. It's been over a yearsince this project was complete and I can still call them with problems and get a response/solution almost immediately. They were one of the best vendors I've ever worked with.
