There was one very sharp candidate who was on the bubble for me in the initial part of the process. A couple things he said gave me slight concern. Based upon the results of the SPQ assessment, there was no way I could move him forward. He would have been very unhappy doing this job and would not have been a performance and culture fit. The SPQ assessment saves me a lot of time and money!

There is nothing that burns up cash flow like a bad hire. We have used the SPQ to assess search consultant candidates. I interviewed a potential search consultant who had experience from the recruiting side. After reviewing her SPQ, I decided to pass. She would have taken too much of my time to ramp up. There was a big question as to her manageability and ability to succeed from the marketing standpoint. The SPQ is a great assessment tool to help determine if someone has the skill set to succeed. The SPQ is worth the cost to avoid lost time and money on a bad hire.

I find the SPQ invaluable. I would not hire against it. We combine it with the PEAC assessment, a thorough interview process, reference checks, a big glass of Scotch and a Ouija Board.

The sales candidate had a few "red lights" according to the SPQ* Gold. However, he had the technical knowledge in our field, along with the personality characteristics to fit in our work environment, so we decided to hire him. Eight months later without any sales production, we let him go. The SPQ* Gold was right on target and warrants serious consideration

We cannot say enough about how important a tool the SPQ* Gold has been in seeing past the candidate’s ability to sell us on themselves during the interview. The SPQ* Gold provides an accurate perspective on the candidate’s true motivation, goals and thought processes that will dramatically impact our return on the investment in hiring them.Over the past two years, our office as grown by 250%. The SPQ Gold is an essential ingredient in our hiring process.

I've tried most of them through my 25 years of hiring and training salespeople. . . personality profiles . . . skills based testing . . . psychological profiling by a psychologist. . . and NOTHING compares with the SPQ* Gold. It offers insightful information about candidates and salespeople, lets you look below the surface and truly understand the person and how he or she will perform. If you want to consistently hire top-performers, then the SPQ* Gold is the tool that you cannot do without

Connie Kadansky and our use of the SPQ Assessment not only righted my sinking ship (when all other attempts had failed) but changed the direction of my business in immeasurable ways.
I don’t believe that the SPQ process in and of itself is the total answer but is nevertheless a major player.
