Overall Review Sentiment for SuccessFinder
Log in to view review sentiment.
We have been using Sucessfinder for few years to manage our psychometric assesments. I can trully say it is one of the strongest psychometric tool I have ever used. It's accuracy to understand people's natural behavioral preferences is remarkable. As it is an A/B test, we can have strong insights about the people we decide to assess.
We mainly use Successfinder for these four purposes:
1. Hiring: The test allows us to have a more objective understanding of the candidates during the interview and to validate the fit not only with the company, but also with the position and the team.
2. People development: It helps us to aim the development targets for employees and adjust individual development plans. Furthermore, we use the test during our inhouse coaching. With the insights that the test brings, our understanding of the coached person is better and our coachings are more adapted.
3. Career exploration: We are striving to make this report available to all our employees to help them better understand their strengths, vocational incentives, lifestyle priorities and their top job family matches.
4. Team building: We also have used the Successfinder assessment a few times to analyze team portraits. This allowed us to better understand the strengths of each member of the teams but also the complementarity between the members, therefore guiding our intervention with the team.

There is nothing I dislike from this product. The richness of the information received from this test requires a well-trained person to interpret it properly. If you don't have someone with those skills in your organization, plenty of consultants will do it for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Our executive team was initially skeptical about the efficacy of Psychometric Tests.
We have used other vendors in the past and the traditional tests usually put people in defined boxes (or colors like personality tests).
While some of the characteristics and traits of those defined box did fit with the profiles of our employees, most of our teammates felt the results were too black and white to be accurate. In consequence, they would not believe that the results truly reflected their whole personality and they would immediately distrust the usefulness of the results.
Successfinder's analysis proved to be much different.
By focusing on preferences of behaviors and regrouping these into a broad array of competencies, it was much easier to appreciate the nuances of each individual in their reports. The broader view allowed for teammates to concede that the Successfinder tests were significantly more accurate than previous tests we ran. In return, they became more open to coaching based on the predictive insights brought up by the data.
We initially opened to test to all our job candidates and the management team, but the reports were so insightful that we decided to open testing across the board a few weeks ago. And results are already starting to be noticed : some employees are considering moving into new roles and we are thinking about shifting the composition of certain teams.
I could not have hoped for a faster contribution to our internal decision-making process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The science behind their product is amazing, but the design of the app feels out of date.
It was a bit of a hard sell to my executive team at the beginning because Successfinder does not leave a good first impression when looking at the current platform (June 2022). Especially when compared to other players out there.
Nevertheless, when my partners saw the predictive insights we got from the test reports, we agreed to concede on the design part and focus on the content.
They would however gain a lot of traction and ease the "internal selling" job of their leads by significantly improving their design system.

The onboarding is also very sales-led. It's "hard" to buy more from them. You have to go through a sales/onboarding rep each time you'd like an upgrade or purchase a new training. Finally, documentation for self-help is scarce.
They should invest more in self-onboarding/support capabilities.
Trusting the savviness of their users would likely prove to be facilitating for their users and I predict that it would result in greater sales velocity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is so much to like about SuccessFinder…where can I start?! First thing first, this is an amazing psychometric assessment system. As an industrial psychologist, I had the opportunity to use many assessment tools, and as far as I know, this is the most comprehensive and solid assessment on the market.
It is powerful as much in its descriptive capabilities as in its predictive ones. Hundreds of data points, millions of unique profiles, a large library of benchmarks, research-backed leadership levels - this is a huge amount of information in one single assessment, that will require only about 30 minutes to complete.
SuccessFinder provides information that can be applied to a large variety of talent management applications. I used it for selection, promotion, succession management, leadership development, team effectiveness and conflict mediation.
The accessibility and usability of the platform are easy and efficient. And I am really pleased to see that they are constantly investing in the development and improvement of the online platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is nothing I dislike at the moment. I started to use the SuccessFinder assessment system eight years ago and at the time the online system and the outputs needed much improvement. The current solution is miles better than it used to be and has so much more options and flexibility. I know they have a road map for product improvement/development, which adds to my confidence in the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The rationality and fact-based approach to what has historically been more of an experienced-based and subjective decisions domain. No other tools on the market can predict career success with equal accuracy and reliability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Because it is a complex tool, for assessing a complex subject (the human being), SF requires a lot of guidance, explanation and interpretation from the practitioner. This is not a self-evident tool, and a lot will be lost in the process if respondents or clients are left by themselves to consult the automated reports and/or conclusions.

Insightful assessments with descriptive explanations. I really enjoy the online toolbox (easy to sort, focus on certain areas etc.) and the Coaching tips sections.
The service provided by the team is unparalleled. They strive to make it easier for the clients to understand, use and leverage SuccessFinder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Role Fit is a little generic and we would have liked to see roles like Management consultants, roles in analytics.
I would have liked an option to be able to easily select and print portions of data from the toolbox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We are using SuccessFinder to provide staff with an opportunity to "know themselves better" and update their development plan accordingly. SuccessFinder provides actionable insights useful in that talent development context. Also, we are finding their client success team does care about our success.

To understand the full report, one requires some training. At first, it was a daunting task, given the richness of the information received. However, we find SuccessFinder very supportive in getting us ramped up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Elevates awareness of natural behavioural strengths and areas to flex based on scope of role and future aspirations. Helps pinpoint the ROI for meaningful targeted development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is expensive; hence the opportunity to scale is limited. Level of certification required to access full suite. Continued focus on streamlined reports for self-interpretation and broader use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Most comprehensive behavioral assessments in the market, I like how they focus on preferred strengths and behaviors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Employees may find interpreting results challenging if they don't take the time to read the reports carefully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
SuccessFinder goes much deeper than typical assessments, offering each individual a tremendous amount of insight into their unique strengths and blindspots. The assessment is highly reliable and valid from a statistical standpoint, and actively mitigates bias. As such, it's a powerful tool that enables targeted development for each individual, while also supporting DE&I efforts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A few competency labels can be misleading to the user without a detailed explanation, such as Inspiring Others. Other than that, nothing else to mention! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
