"Please forward this note to your scoring manager; I got his voice mail
message re the candidate I asked about and very much appreciate his response. He
answered my questions completely. In general, you folks at Walden are
tremendous, and worth every dime you're paid! (Maybe even more?) Thanks very
much for your rapid and full responses to our questions, and turnaround time
scoring the assessments, and generally pleasant "bedside manner".
You're great service providers. It looks like we can expect our second
programmer development effort to go as well as the first one did, and for both I
believe the assessment gets us over the biggest hurdle."
Stephanie Brown,
State of California
In a newspaper interview, Ms. Brown said her
organization probably saved thousands of dollars in training costs when it used
one of Walden's aptitude tests to fill eight computer-programming vacancies.
After failing to find experienced external candidates, the department decided to
offer aptitude tests to its current employees, regardless of prior programming
experience. More than 300 employees accepted the offer and, from there, eight
were chosen, including some who had never before used a computer, but had scored
highest on the aptitude test.
The eight were trained at a cost of nearly $10,000 U.S. each and all have
succeeded on the job, Brown said.
"We hired some people who we otherwise would never have considered and
avoided hiring people who would have been mistakes," she said.
"...We have received excellent customer service from the people at
Walden. They assure that all information and scores are confidential. They also
are flexible! We have used several different methods in receiving booklets and
test scores. Each time, the information has been timely. They are very easy to
get in touch with and return phone calls promptly. I have been very impressed
with their friendliness and professionalism.
