About Us

Staff Development Services

We provide clients with hiring assessments and human resource consulting.

Our process begins by making certain you have the best staff. By using our highly accurate assessment in the pre-employment phase of hiring, our clients get the best candidate to fill the role. Putting the right person in the right job significantly increases employee retention and decreases employee turnover.

By using this hiring assessment, your interviewing and selection process can be strengthened so that 90% of your new hires perform better from the beginning and stay with your organization longer.

We can also assess candidates for management potential or for other roles they could successfully fulfill in your organization. We work with your human resources department to make it more effective in bringing the right people into your organization.

John Beane

John BeaneIBM, the U. S. Senate, Westinghouse, Xerox, NASA, Environmental Protection Agency, Greif Brothers Corporation and the US Armed Forces are just a few of the organizations that have used my services. I’m John and as a consultant my business is to understand your business and help you define and accomplish your goals. This could include assessment instruments to evaluate individuals and your organization.

With over 30 years of business experience I combine theoretical knowledge with everyday practicality to give you the best of my experience. I have been president and CEO of several businesses in which leadership was an everyday occurrence. I’ve also been a consultant, lecturer and speaker on the topic for the past 25 years.

I am well versed in organizational development and personal change. I believe in getting the job done – helping each organization and client meet their needs.

My other areas of expertise include certification by Simmons Management Systems to conduct surveys which are used to determine how people feel about organizational issues.

To measure performance I use the Simmons Personal Survey to delve much deeper into an individual’s emotional intelligence and character making it well suited for predictive work during the hiring or promotion process. Use of this tool enables me to discuss in great detail the capabilities of an individual, his or her probable success or failure. This instrument can also be used in coaching when someone is not performing at a desired level.

My style is not only knowledgeable, but warm and approachable. People say that my work can turn an abstract concepts into a workable approach enabling them to apply my strategies on the job. Some people have told me such things as, “He not only knows what he’s talking about, he makes complex ideas clear I now know what my next steps need to be.”

If you wish to talk with my clients I will be glad to provide names and phone numbers.

“Over the years your services have proved to be invaluable. When we hired in line with your recommendation, every new hire was a success..."
