Deputy Director, «HotSupport»having learned about «Azimuth» and «360 degrees» we decided to try it out. Te results we received confrmed that the key fgures in our company were indeed the best picks. however, in regards to matters of self-esteem, the results were quite surprising for many of our colleagues. According to the data collected during the assessment, 30% of our employees had low self-esteem. Tis information made us think of the ways in which we can encourage and show our appreciation to colleagues who are valuable to the company, though they may not be aware of it.
Another aspect of «Azimuth» that we really appreciated is the possibility it ofers to quantify qualities. most of the time, staf assessment reports are extensive descriptions of employees characteristics: all you can do with them is read them over and over. Te reports ofered by «Azimuth» provide quantifable data that is easily interpreted.

Commercial Director, FlexisAt Flexis, for many years we have had quite successful hr department. Tats why, originally, we were a bit skeptical of the idea of testing. however, Bss-Around assessments turned out to be very helpful. For instance, one of our managers received very high scores for various competencies we didnt know he had, so today we are looking into ofering him more interesting projects and possibilities to advance his career growth. in another case, the assessment resulting letting go one of our pretty good specialists, who, it turns out, was negatively impact his co-workers. We are now looking to replace him.
I would like to add that upon conducting the assessment we have encountered the typical hawthorne efect. Many of our colleagues were rather enthusiastic about the idea of such an extensive evaluation and volunteered their thoughts on how to improve both the organizations structure and the way we do business.

Andrey Skvortsov
General Director of «Merkator»
Consultant for BSS AroundTwo years ago, we conducted «360 degrees» with BSSL at Merkator (a company with over 90 employees), and i was much surprised by the results. i thought i knew everything i needed to know about my colleagues and employees, but, afer getting the results of the evaluations, i realized that some very talented people were occupying positions well below their skills and capabilities, while other positions were flled with people who shouldnt have been there!
At frst, i thought Azimuth was just a game, but then i became absolutely fascinated with the multi-faceted nature of my peoples interactions. here are some examples of what i observed:
«Wow, how many work contacts does this guy have? Well, it could be because he is involved in so many projects. Perhaps we should take some load of him… Now, this one, responds to my e-mails right away, but seems to be completely inaccessible to everyone else even though many people depend on him. Perhaps he should be doing something else.»
So, in the end, what did i get out of using BssLs products?
I liked «360 degrees» because of its simplicity, price and processing speed. Although the selection of competencies tested is standard, all the problems get solved.
What i like about «Azimuth» is not only its simplicity of use, but also the visual aspect of it. Tere is no need to read any long explanations: all the data is right there on the charts.
In fact, i liked BssL and its products so much, that about a year ago i made the decision to join the company as a consultant, and now i am very involved with its project Bss Around. having used BssLs services as well as having worked on some of its projects, i am absolutely confdent of the quality of their products, and feel very comfortable recommending them to directors of small and large companies alike.
