Overall

“Working in the corporate world and also with undergraduate and graduate school admissions, I am familiar with the need to assess an individual’s strengths, interests, needs and relationships with others.  The Birkman Method is best tool I have seen to accomplish these goals.  It is an extremely comprehensive and valuable tool for individuals and for an organization.  The Birkman Method not only offers an assessment of interests and behaviors and how they relate to ideal job types and fit within organizations, but it delves deeper into the underlying needs that should be met for an individual to perform in an organization, and the resulting potential stress behaviors when the needs are not met.  I would say it is should be a required piece in the process of anyone conducting a job search, hiring employees, understanding co-workers, developing leaders or trying to figure out what they want to do in life.”

Career Exploration, Focus and Job Search

“Self-understanding is the springboard for success as a leader.  A lack of self-awareness is disastrous for today’s managers and almost always assures a mediocre career at best. Knowing this, the Office of Career Management at Moore uses The Birkman Method® as the foundation for all Graduate Career and Professional Development.  Since we’ve been using the assessment, we’ve really found the Birkman is what defines who we are now.  Not using the Birkman is like making cake without the flour.”

“I really appreciate all your help throughout the career exploration process.  The Birkman was really the catalyst for my re-evaluation of what I thought I wanted to do and now I am so happy with the choice I made.  I secured a great job that makes me very happy.”

Recent Georgia Tech Graduate

“You’ll never know what a big help you’ve been to us.  My wife found a new job thanks in part to the Birkman assessment and your tips on how to find a job through networking with people instead of looking on the Internet.  Also, I am getting more focused on what I want to do and what I am passionate about. I think it mixes well with my Birkman scores and I wanted to extend my sincere thanks for all your help.”

“The Birkman Method is by far the most comprehensive, user-friendly assessment I have come across in my career. It goes beyond personality and drives deeper to unearthing hidden motivators, identifying ideal job fit and career-pathing and illuminates potential conflict areas. The reporting options are terrific and provide wonderful tools for managers and associates to utilize in growing both individually and as teams. I highly recommend the Birkman for any person or business interested in using a tool that can assist them in their personal and professional growth.”
- Mindy Czuchra, Director

“The Birkman Method is a great tool.  I think the students will refer to it and reflect on it for the rest of their lives.  It’s something that gets them to really think about who they are.”

Employee Effectiveness

“Successful people are able to capitalize on their own behavior styles and the styles of those around them. The Birkman focuses that reality by measuring and reporting the unique behavioral and motivational qualities that each of us bring to our work and our relationships. Birkman has the methodology to help optimize the performance potential of individuals, teams, and organizations by providing unequalled knowledge about how people interact with one another and how they effectively contribute to an organization’s goals and objectives.”
- Bob Miller, Senior Manager Human Resources

Hiring and Recruiting

“For one global client operating in more than 100 countries, their unbroken six-year use of The Birkman Method® has produced 27 senior-level hires without the need for one termination, while also providing a talent pool which has enabled seven promotions within. Interestingly, one senior officer who scorned use of the Birkman made two independent hires, one of which cost $600,000 in severance and related upset and for the second he selected the ‘wrong’ executive for a key position in a new acquisition who piled up losses of eight million in the first year. By the time the Birkman was shown to the key officer in charge, it was too late. In my 19 years as a Certified Birkman Consultant, I have learned that wise and constant use of The Birkman Method® does not cost anything; rather, it is often an authentic profit center through judicious application of the knowledge gained.”

“In March of 2000, Capodice & Associates integrated The Birkman Method® into the executive search process. At that time, we felt we had made a good choice by choosing the Birkman tool but didn’t understand just how powerful it really was. What we have found is an unequaled level of behavioral predictability and the ability to significantly raise the bar in the selection and development process. The Birkman Method® has been instrumental in distancing Capodice & Associates from competitors and has led us to a leadership position within the industries we represent.”
