Working closely with Ascend has enabled Phoenix to more professionally lead and manage our workforce because we have a level of knowledge and insight that didn’t exist before. I believe our hiring, onboarding, development, and promotional decisions are well above what they would be without the advice from Ascend.

Working with Ascend Talent Strategies (ATS) to screen potential engineering hires was a game changer for us. ATS took time to really learn about our business and what makes an engineer successful at Creative Automation. Since we started working with ATS, our hires have been much more successful. Pre-hire testing with ATS has given us a remarkably powerful tool to hire engineers who are both technically competent and the right personal fit for a long career at Creative Automation Inc.

M3 Insurance has worked with Ascend Talent Strategies for 5+ years and they have become an extension of our team. I most appreciate their ability to help M3 hone in on the root of what is holding our employees back from a performance or development perspective vs. fixing the actions. Between their work with our team on everything from Executive Coaching to acting as a sounding board in one-off situations, the insight and expertise of their industrial/organizational psychologists have provided to the M3 team is invaluable.
