I’ve worked with Valerie for several years now using the Profile XT “personality assessment” software. The product is fantastic! Check it out if you’re looking for these software tools – or if you aren’t consistently making good hiring decisions.
We engaged Valerie to assist us in developing criteria for hiring new sales people. She spent a considerable amount of time developing a model that we use on everyone we hire...we are more focused in our hiring and have made fewer mistakes. She is terrific to work with, and always provides suggestions to make the process even better!
I highly recommend Valerie and the Profile Assessment System. We no longer struggle to hire the type of person who is a top performer, and have greatly improved the quality of our hires. It takes the guesswork out of matching the right applicant to the right position. It's so much more than a hiring tool.
