Reviews
"Stated simply, the best talent wins and Topgrading helps identify and hire the best talent. This is true for internal promotions and external hires."
--KEN CAMP, CEO, Hillenbrand

"The Topgrading interview process is one of the best tools in our arsenal for getting an in-depth understanding of high-potential managers. It probably improved our success promoting high-potential managers from maybe 50% to over 80%."
--BILL CONATY, former Senior Vice President of Human Resources, General Electric

"The most valuable management skill a person can have is the ability to produce high-talent teams. Nothing else even comes close. That's why Brad Smart's Topgrading approach should be a top priority process in your organization."
--PRICE PRITCHETT, Ph.D., Chairman and CEO, PRITCHETT LP

"Topgrading is the best practice I know of for hiring and promoting people who turn out to be A Players. In a not-for-profit, that can translate into raising more money to educate the public, and that can save lives . . . Having the best talent at every salary level is crucial."
--CASS WHEELER, former CEO, American Heart Association

"Turnover came down, and sales and profits skyrocketed. With 98% hiring success due to Topgrading, the business took off."
--JACK HARRINGTON, then CEO, Virtual Technology, now CEO, Thales Raytheon Systems

"When I look back at the dramatic success of our company, I can clearly point to the implementation of Topgrading as the pivotal moment that made our success pos­sible. I implore every business owner to make Topgrading mandatory. A Topgraded team is the ultimate secret weapon to crush the competition."
--RICHARD ROSSI, Co-Founder, EnvisionEMI

"We've Topgraded the entire company and our sales and profits have soared."
--ORRIN KLOPPER, CEO, Netsurit
