Testimonials

“I just wanted to take a moment to thank you, Chief Falese, and each of the assessors for conducting an extremely professional assessment center for the Carpentersville fire department. I truly appreciate the time that you all took to communicate with me to ensure the best scenarios were developed for the assessment. I feel that the candidates benefited from the experience and I look forward to working with you in the future. If there is anything that I could ever do for you, please don’t hesitate to ask. Please extend my appreciation to your staff.”

Chief Bill Anaszewicz, Carpentersville, IL, Fire Department, 4/16/2024

“Thank you Steve for another organized and successful testing process!”

Deputy Chief V. Bonomo III, Plainfield, IL, Fire District

“I wanted to send a quick thank you for all of your efforts in the preparation and assistance with our sergeants testing process.  The Evaluator Instruction Manuals were well prepared and accurate. I think your organization of the manuals and the level of comprehensiveness they contained, provided our evaluators with a solid foundation to which they could accurately assess our candidates. Our assessors had a vague understanding of our department and the manuals were able to outline our organizational structure and give them guidance into the process that was to take place. So again, I thank you for that. Chief Field’s oral interview questions were able to test and pull from the candidates the qualities and characteristics that our Chief was looking for. During my brief phone conversations with Chief Field, it was obvious that he was very experienced and passionate about providing questions that accurately solicited our desired attributes. As a side note, one of the questions was eerily similar to a very recent incident here at our department. With no prior knowledge of this, Chief Field’s response to me on the phone was, “Chris, the problems are the same throughout the country.” How true!  

Overall, each candidate we debriefed after the process overwhelmingly said that they thought the process was challenging, but very fair. This is a testament to being able to work cooperatively with a company, RMA, to ensure a fair, accurate and thorough process as we build our leadership team to serve our community for many years to come.
