Client Results

“The front line Group Leader position is one of the most critical positions within our organization. Prior to using Select International’s assessment tools, we relied on basic interviewing techniques. With the GL assessment tool, we look for specific competencies to ensure success of the folks we promote or hire into these positions. We also have significant data to review such as: the in-basket exercise, role plays, interviews, etc. The process allows us to spend a day with a candidate to really get to know and assess their strengths, weaknesses, and suitability for our organization. This truly is a great process.”

Sales Hiring Around the World

High-scoring candidates have proven to be highly successful sales people for us. Thanks for creating a selection tool that works!"

“Many test vendors are more than happy to show you how their latest technology will solve all of your problems. Very few, however, can do that and provide superior customer service before, during, and after the technology is implemented and rolled out to multiple locations. Select truly understands how to partner with a client and give them as much information as needed to help resolve issues and make better decisions. Regardless of whether the request is big or small, Select understands a client’s “sense of urgency”. Select has slick assessments, but they understand that customer service is their competitive advantage.”

Consistency in 130 Locations
“PPG Auto Glass operates over 130 branches across the country. Without the EZ App system and Select International screening interview, each supervisor could have potentially used different criteria when selecting individuals for the same position. Since implementing the new screening program, we are now able to ensure that all candidates meet the same basic criterion levels, regardless of where they work. It enables the supervisor to select the best of the best without getting bogged down in preliminary interviews.
The Select International team's experience base was critical to our success in identifying and selecting relevant criteria. The program and questions were customized to fit exactly the position we needed."
