“As the new owner of the Waterfront Coffee Company I knew that some staff changes were necessary.  I hired GSB Consultants to help with the hiring process and specifically the Simmons Personal Survey was used to assemble the best people for the team.  I am glad that I had more than resumes and interviews to help in the selection process.”

“100% of the Surveys we have processed have been accurate and were verified by other reliable information.  The Survey has consistently helped us hire good employees, reduce turnover, greatly enhance performance, and increase customer satisfaction.”                     Tom Howard, V. P. Human Resources, Wang’s Intl. Inc.   Memphis, TN.

“The Survey helps to pick the best professional football players.  In the last five years, 90% of the NFL players drafted have been Surveyed.  “One year I personally validated 132 Surveys.  I asked their coach, advisors, and people that knew them very well, “How accurate is this description?”  All 132 were validated as accurate.”  “Among the professional teams who have used the Survey are the Miami Dolphins, New Orleans Saints, Green Bay Packers, and Dallas Cowboys.  Collegiate teams include among others, U.C.L.A., Tulane, University of Oklahoma, and University of North Carolina.”
David Michiels, Ph.D.

“Using the Survey for promotion decisions dramatically reduced turnover.  In the six months after we started using the Personal Survey, we did not turn a single manager.  After starting to use the Survey, we only had 2 turnovers in a 3 year period of time.”  [a reduction in turnover by 89%]                                                                                                  Wes Crane, Human Resources Consultant

“The Survey really helped the supervisor build team work, with everyone drawing off each others strengths and supporting them in the areas they need to work on.  As an employer, we saw we had to have it.”                                                                                                        Keith Floto, Human Resource Manager, WenLake (a Wendy’s franchise.)
