Phocas

David Leahy and his company Directions Unlimited has had a hugely beneficial financial and cultural impact at Phocas. He’s saved our company literally hundreds of thousands of dollars in recruitment errors. He’s helped everyone in the company understand who they are and how they are different to others. And he has helped our leaders to become better leaders.

Phocas has benefitted enormously from the introduction of Profile XT’s in our recruitment process. We are making better informed selection decisions by comparing shortlisted candidates to established benchmark profiles. As a result, we have experienced little turnover or recruitment error since introducing the profiles, and are thinking more intelligently about the cultural and role fit of those we hire.

On a personal level David is a delight to work with and has become a trusted advisor to Phocas. He operates in partnership with the People & Culture team and our key line managers. His patience, insights, advice and coaching style are always appreciated.

David provides excellent support in our recruitment processes and has assisted with the development of a number of our senior people through his one-on-one coaching with them during the last two years.

The insights that David has been able to provide through the debriefing of PXTs has been invaluable to ensuring that our culture is able to continue to flourish and empower us (P&C) as well as leaders to support their team members on a different level.  

His down to earth approach and relatability makes for an easy conversation/interaction and nothing is ever too much.

His style certainly makes your brain cells think beyond the norm which is refreshing when there are so many similar tools out there.
