” I would not consider hiring an employee without using IdealTraits in the process. The system is easy to use and interpret. Evaluating employees and getting them in the right ‘seat’ was always hit or miss until I started using IdealTraits. Making a good hire makes all the difference! IdealTraits is a vital part of that process for me. “
Bowker Insurance Group
“IdealTraits allows me to find, screen and test before interviewing. I’m able to narrow my interview time down to only those that will really fit the bill for what we need. IdealTraits has saved us time and money by giving us a tool that is professional, customizable, and accurate every time. I will not hire anyone going forward without IdealTraits.”
Olson Insurance Agency
“We have a team of 40, so a pretty big team, and we were just going through the numbers and we literally have only had to let one person go in the last two years and that’s out of 40 people. That just shows you this assessment truly gets it right. We do not hire people if they don’t assess as the personalities that we want on our team and it is a very very good predictor.”
