"I just wanted to let you know that I found the PSS course the most interesting and probably the one single course with the most potential benefit that I've ever attended...
...this does not only apply to selecting individuals but also, creating effective teams through ensuring compatibility of the players, working to a common goal...absolutely convinced this material can be of tremendous 'added value', both in the work environment and on a personal level."
George Nason, Regional Manager, Safety-Kleen UK Ltd

"I have been using Personality Survey
System for our internal recruitment, skills auditing, team
building and also in the recruitment process of our
clients. On one occasion where doubt of such measure crept
in, a decision was made to leave out your system of our own
internal recruitment.
Being in the recruitment business one falls into the
confidence trap of 'I know a good one when I see one', and
we recruited against the advice of your device. The best
that could be said of the results was that it certainly
proved the accuracy of your system and reaffirmed our
commitment to its continued use. We have over the years,
looked at other systems on the market, many of which are
not only very complicated and unwieldy to us but also very
expensive in comparison with PSS.
I will continue to use your product for three main reasons,
its simplicity to use, the accuracy of its results and
last, but not least, its very competitive price."

"Our managers and people being assessed never ceased to be
amazed by the accuracy of the results and the amount of
information that is obtained by such a short questionnaire.
The job scan is very useful when putting together a job and
person specification for a new job… Without which, we
believe there would not be a thorough analysis of the
important characteristics that should be included in the
person specification. …for recruitment at all levels we
find it a very useful tool… and the personality survey
supports the views that have been formed at interview."
Vince Housecroft,
Personnel Director, AHS Emstar

"We make extensive use of agency staff
who are often selected and employed in a matter of days. As
we need to take them on in a very short time-scale, it was
essential we use efficient tools to assess the suitability
of potential candidates.
We employed Success Dynamics' tools, techniques and
training to good effect such that many of the agency staff
have remained with us, bearing out the correctness of the
assessment carried out during their short interview.
Naturally it is only part of the selection process but in
times of urgency, it provided an important confidence check
that the candidate's profile would fit that of the
team."
Simon Springate,
Systems and Planning Manager, London Underground
Ltd
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We have experienced rapid organisational growth,
increasing demand on our recruitment resources never
experienced before - a demand that required the recruitment
of some 3-5 new retail operators each week. It was
necessary to put in place a process that enabled us to see
large numbers of people in a short period (1 day).
We chose PSS because of its relative simplicity, in terms
of candidate use, remote location analysis, interpretation,
and the time to administer. We report total satisfaction,
and our confidence in its ability to meet our aims and
objectives."
A Tompson, Personnel
Manager, City Petroleum

"I am totally convinced that Personality
Survey and job profiling has made an important contribution

"Over the many years I have used PSS, I have found that the
system has provided comprehensive information, improving
with each update. Those who have taken part in the
analysis, with exception on one occasion, agreed with 90%
of the information contained in their individual report."
Pamela Cowen (MIPD),
Personnel and Staff Development Manager

Commerce, Trade and Industry

"I originally used PSS when I was
personnel director of Estee Lauder. When I moved to Heron
Suzuki it again proved very useful in a range of
applications- recruitment, team building, conflict
resolution and as a personal development tool. Since
setting up my own business, I use it almost daily.
I have used it alone, as well as in conjunction with
Myers-Briggs Type indicator TM and 16PF and have found it
extremely useful. It is one of the few tools that provides
insight into the differences between how people function
typically, under pressure, and what sort of behavioural
modifications they may be making in work at a particular
time.
I have used this tool more than 4,000 times, and the cases
where the results were not validated, can be counted on one
hand."
