Checkster is a Personal Feedback Management System. It enables you to request anonymous career assessment feedback from your colleagues, friends or customers. Anonymity is guaranteed by Checkster as it is the key to receive candid career assessment feedback.

Research shows that we are often the worst judge of our strengths and potential. Furthermore today's fast paced world provides us with less time for open discussion with each other. Checkster helps you be fully aware of your strengths, limitations and potential by cutting the formalities and getting authentic candid feedback.

Typically, 3 types of individuals: First, the self-confident top performers who are always in a quest to become better at what they do. Second, the individuals in career transition who need to know where they stand and need validation of their strengths. Third managers or HR departments who want to provide the best employee assessment tools available to their team in order to obtain superior talent performance, acquisition and satisfaction (if you are an employer or in HR see Employer section)

All Talent Checkup reports are strictly confidential. Nobody will see them except from you.

All Talent Checkup are strictly confidential when triggered by you. Nobody will see them except you. So it may affect your jobs to the extent in which you decide to act on the obtained results.

If you are seen as ready for a promotion by 80% of your colleagues, for example, but did not realize this yourself, these results will be a major motivator for you to push yourself to reach the next level. On the other hand, if you feel you are stuck in a position and your colleagues' feedback reveals they don't see you advancing in that position either, you can avoid many more wasted years with no prospective earning growth in your current department. You know that change is necessary in order for you to grow.

You need to have a minimum of 3 people to respond to your career assessment questions. We ask a minimum of 3 people to achieve consistency and to ensure anonymity of the raters.

Your career assessment report is a unique window into your true talents. Most people act on the results to strive towards what they do best. They also repeat the career assessment process on a regular basis to monitor their progress and make sure they are spending their time and energy in the best way possible.

Not in the Talent Checkup, the existing career assessment questions have been carefully created to provide maximum value and meaning while asking the minimum of efforts from your raters. If you would like to have specific career assessment questions you need to use the 360 Checkup for employers.

If you are seen as ready for a promotion by 80% of your colleagues for instance but you didn't realize this yourself, these results will be a major motivator for you to push yourself to the reach the next level in your career advancement. On the opposite if you are stuck in a position and your colleagues feedback reveals that they don't see you moving up either, it will avoid you to waste many more years with no prospective career advancement. You know that change is necessary in order for you to grow.

It is good practice to take a Talent Checkup once you are settled in a new job. It is recommended to repeat the Talent Checkup to monitor your evolution. Frequency will depend on your job but quarterly is not unusual.

You cannot change the career assessment results, as Checkster guarantees data integrity. But remember it is how your performance is perceived by others not by you. You may redo a Talent Checkup with other people to confirm the results. It is also a great opportunity to understand where the discrepancy comes from.

The Talent Checkup process only takes about 10 minutes. When you are done, you invite your peers and friends to visit the site and fill out the easy 7 minute survey. You may want to take time to invite more people or remind the people you invited to come back and take your survey.

When a minimum of 3 people responded to your career assessment survey, your report will be generated. The report is generated automatically, after your raters responded. This usually takes 24hours or a couple of days depending on their availabilities.

The Talent Checkup report provides an insight into:

• your promotability;
• your key strengths and accomplishments according to others;
• your overall performance;
• your likelihood of being rehired in your same job;
• your ability to reach satisfaction in your job;
• how accurately you perceive yourself compared to others.

Until 2006, Yves Lermusi (aka Lermusiaux) was leading Taleo Research, advising Fortune 500 companies on their talent management strategies. Yves discovered a common gap many individuals in these companies had yet to discover their own true talents. Yves knew there had to be a tool that would uncover their strengths, talents, and potential. After much research and development, Yves Lermusi created Checkster. Checkster gives you the ability to excel , through the feedback from others.

Your prior or current colleagues, clients, managers and subordinates are all good sources of feedback. Anyone who has worked with you in some capacity, whether in a company or as a volunteer in a non profit organization make great participants. If you are just coming out of school, a Talent Checkup could be from an interim work agency, a professor for whom you assisted, or other groups you were involved with. We do not recommend asking family, friends or neighbors, as their opinion is not work related. Start with individuals from your most recent job.

Checkster, in some aspects, is similar to a 360 feedback survey. The difference is that with Checkster you are in control of initiating the career assessment process. Checkster is also faster to perform and provides better reports for interpreting the respondents' data.
