“We contacted Ms.Farzeen for our assessment needs as a part of our candidate selection process. The Hogan's Assessment was a credible tool for evaluating the candidates` areas of strengths as well as concerns. In fact, the assessment enabled us to segregate the candidates who had almost the same calibre through the fine analysis of their characteristics` dimensions that define their occupational success clearly. A well recommended tool to identify the right candidate especially in the technical domain. Thank you Ms.Farzeen for conducting these assessments for us”
“As Farzeen's first client, I was very impressed. She went the extra mile gathering my requirements even when there were obstacles. She spent countless hours over the phone and made efforts to visit our establishment over the weekend. Having multiple entities, I thought it may be a challenge to standardize HR policies, but she was extremely adaptable and took the proactive approach. She spent time with me understanding my requirements and aligned them with MOMP rules and regulations. She was a pleasure to work with and she was always positive. On weekends or weekdays, she did whatever needed to get the job done. I would recommend Farzeen to all SMEs and legacy corporations that need to assess their HR policies."
"I have known Ms. Farzeen for close to a decade now, initially as colleagues and now as business partners. She brings with herself immense knowledge and a razor-sharp focus aimed at timely solutions to even the most complex situation. She is one of the most pleasant and professional people I have come across. I highly recommend her and her organization Ascends consulting ."
