A selection of Client Testimonials & Comments:
"Hiring mistakes are costly and disruptive. I would now be very reluctant to hire anyone without him/her first carrying out a Personality Survey, as conducted by Raymond Walley."
Philippa Rose
CEO, Rose Partnership
"As a trained Psychometric Profiler for some 26 years, I suspect that I’ve heard every comment, good and bad, made about Psychometric Profiles. Human beings are complicated animals and can’t be analysed to the nth degree – without extensive psychotherapy – and probably not even then.
I’ve been involved and worked with Success Dynamics for nearly twenty years and as good as the system is, it is dramatically enhanced by the back up and service available.
Too many organisations want to sell you a system and then you’re on your own. Success Dynamics want the system to be effective for their clients and give a back-up service to ensure that it is."
Emmanuel Aharoni
Human Resources Consultant
"Fourayes have been using Success Dynamic’s Personality Surveys for a number of years. In our view we think they provide a very accurate insight not only into the character of an individual but also how synergistic the team is. The survey is a very useful tool used in conjunction with others to help you determine the suitability of a candidate at interview stage, but also within an established team to help everyone understand what makes everybody tick."
Philip Acock
MD, Fourayes Fruit Farm
"We have used the Success Dynamics Personality Survey successfully for many years within both client coaching and training sessions. Its accuracy and insight is both startling and developmental – clients frequently comment “how CAN they know so much about me from just a few questions?”! The Survey raises potential behavioural, management and leadership issues at an early stage of coaching which saves both the time and money that it would take to identify such points through discussion alone. I highly recommend it."
Helen Whitten
Executive Coach and Managing Director
"The Personality Survey Expert System is a response, and a solution! for many of the needs for the department of Human Resources of a company.
El Sistema Experto del Estudio de la Personalidad es una respuesta, ¡y una solución!, para muchas de las necesidades del departamento de Recursos humanos de una empresa."
Gonzalo Gamez
Director
"I am totally convinced that Personality Survey and job profiling has made an important contribution to our business development."
Ken Edis
Managing Director, Edis Partnerships Ltd
"Raymond, what can I tell you so far! I do dip in and out of your psychometric profiling to remind myself how I must try to deal with the various individuals in my team. I have just been looking at X’s profile again. He is stubborn, inquiring and doesn’t like change at all which is definitely reflective in your profiling of him. I regard the profiling as a very useful exercise and a tool I am using."
Guy Parker
CEO Country Manager
"Not only did we have a most enjoyable day with Raymond discovering how our personalities manifested their particular traits through our behavioural styles, we also learnt a great deal about each other and how as a small but powerful corporate team we might work more effectively and efficiently with each other.
I would happily recommend this assessment to anyone with a team of two or more."
Denny Baxter-Hill
Director of Sales UK
"I just wanted to let you know that I found the Psychometric 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 Personality Survey.
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."
Frank Swain
Consultant, Portland Personnel and Training
"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' psychometric 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 Personality Survey 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 to our business development."
Ken Edis
Managing Director, Edis Partnerships Ltd
"Over the many years I have used Personality Survey, 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, Chamber of Commerce, Trade and Industry
"I originally used Personality Survey 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."
