Testimonials

Skillscan helps clients identify what they are good at, the skills they enjoy using, and the transferable skills they bring to the world of work. The robust reports boost confidence, provide greater awareness of marketable skills, and are helpful when applying for jobs and preparing for interviews. I use SkillScan with every coaching client and the results are a springboard for our career exploration and coaching work together.

SkillScan is the best tool on the market to take a close look at the skills you have to offer an employer, your community service, or the skills you take into self-employment. I love that it can be used with other self-assessments to strengthen and enhance your self-knowledge

SkillScan is deceptively simple and transparent, yet profoundly useful. Asking clients to sort and rank their skills, together with clustering them into occupationally meaningful patterns, provide them positive, hopeful insights, helps to clarify their core career identity and builds confidence and self-esteem--all necessary to maintain an effective career development program in the face of inevitable challenges.

I frequently use DRIVE with both my entry level clients and career changers. It's always a confidence booster for clients not only see their transferable skills, but also the potential application of skills. The new supplemental exercises are also very helpful in terms of providing a comprehensive understanding of career preferences.

I find your seminars inspirational and right on for being able to use the ideas almost the next day with clients. It is so good to hear from professionals who have developed useful practices based on SkillScan.

After I was laid off from my job in July, SkillScan was a really great tool that helped me reassess my strengths and skills. What was unique about it was it not only confirmed the skills I thought I excelled in, but presented additional results that I wouldn’t have even considered if I hadn’t taken the assessment. Easily digestible, clear, concise, and informative, SkillScan was absolutely worth it! 

Millennials are hungry for relevant resources that will help them grow as professionals. As a career coach, I have used SkillScan Drive with hundreds of young professionals. I have found that it helps my clients to better understand their skill sets and discover more options as they explore their career paths. It is an excellent assessment that I have consistently received positive comments about — and I will keep using in the future.

The new Advance Pack SkillScan is an excellent tool. I have been using it with university students and alumni and have had great feedback. The updated categories make sense to clients and the new cards have a very professional look. I am ordering more to use them in workshops!

I have used the original SkillScan Professional Pack for many years with many clients, and although I have always felt that the SkillScan was a valuable tool for my clients, I now see even more positive results with the SkillScan Advance Pack. Clients find the tool and the supplementary materials incredibly valuable in clarifying direction and identifying skills that they can use with employers to articulate their marketability. There is also an increase in confidence and preparedness. When working with clients, the SkillScan Advance Pack is my tool of choice.

I've been using the Skillscan assessment tool, cardsort and online versions, for more than 15 years. I was looking forward to the new online version and upon trying Drive, I was impressed with the enhancements. The interface is very appealing. The instructions were easy to follow, and the personalized report is comprehensive. It's a great resource for career counselors to use with clients as a foundation for generating career options, writing a resume, and preparing for interviews. It can be used with a range of clients from college students to professionals in career transition.
