Financial planning practice takes the short track to high performance for a new recruit
Bernard Fehon of Tactical Solutions, in Penrith NSW, indentified the potential of Harrison Assessments for use in the induction phase of a new office manager. The new employee was happy to complete the online questionnaire in her first week on the job. Bernard received reports detailing the new recruit’s strengths, work preferences and interests. These reports, together with face to face debriefing that included the employee, helped her make a smooth transition into the business.
Bernard says “Reviewing the assessment reports was like taking a short cut to getting to know our new office manager and settling her into the role. She has now completed her probation period and is progressing well, thanks to realistic expectations on both sides.”
Accounting and financial planning firm understands and consolidates team
Matthew Prentice, Partner of Pegg & Associates in North Sydney, called us on a recommendation from another Harrison Assessments user.
“We were referred to Susan by a professional colleague who found Harrison Assessments to be invaluable to their practice. We are delighted to have had a similar experience with Susan too. Susan’s in-depth knowledge of employee assessment and appraisal tools including Harrison Assessments has been illuminating to our Firm’s staff at all levels, including Partners, Managers and professional and administration staff. We look forward to retaining Susan’s services and continuing our talent development.”
When it was time to recruit a new office manager, Ian Walsh of PlanWell Financial Services in Brisbane recognised the benefit of using an objective assessment tool to confirm his selection decision.
We worked with Ian to determine the right industry-specific template we would use to assess the candidate’s suitability for the role. Within hours of her completing the online questionnaire, we were able to provide detailed reports.
With our comprehensive Job Success Analysis report, an Interview Guide and the How to Attract this Candidate report, the decision was easy.
This is what Ian had to say: “Although we were pretty sure we had the right person, the assessment reports gave us details of specific traits relevant to the role, as well as an overall job fit score and advice on how to manage and motivate the employee. The added confidence this gives when you’re investing in a new employee can’t be underestimated.”

An internal applicant showed good potential for this role which had very specific needs in terms of personality traits and work preferences. We put in some extra time to customise a job template that took these needs into account. When the candidate completed the online assessment and ran the reports, the results supported her suitability for promotion.
According to the General Manager Corporate Services: “The reports are FANTASTIC and very useful!”
