Mission & Values
The Core Of The Company

Biddle Consulting Group, Inc. was established by inheriting the technologies and business practices of three decades of experience in the Equal Employment Opportunity and Personnel Selection fields. This statement is built on lasting principles that we intend to carry into our future.

Our Areas of Practice

We specialize in the areas of Equal Employment Opportunity and Personnel Selection. In these two areas, we provide consulting, tests, and software. By specializing in only these two areas, we maintain a solid level of competence and expertise that benefits our company, our clients, and the communities we serve.

Our consulting services will be marked by thoroughness, timeliness, and professionalism. Our services to clients will be punctual, relevant, and beneficial. Our billing will be accurate and fair for the time we invest. Our work will be performed with the client’s best interests in mind.

Our tests will be developed and administered as if we were on the receiving end of them. They will have a justified relationship to the job that will be evident to both advanced practitioners and the test taker. They will conform to both solid principles of classical measurement and new theories that work. We will strive to balance the qualities and benefits of merit and objectivity with social awareness and the realization that measurement tools will always have limitations. We believe that the total selection process should closely mirror the actual requirements of the job, and should measure those requirements using tools that will effectively and accurately do so. The results should be interpreted and used in a way that fairly considers the limitations of the tools and the context of the organization. This provides and represents fairness to individuals, groups, and the community at large.

Our software will be functional, clear, and responsive to our clients’ needs. Our design philosophy will encompass two primary goals: general applicability and customizability. It will be as broadly applicable as possible and will be designed by considering the diversity of our clients. And, it will be customizable for our clients’ specific needs. We believe this balance optimizes our software and distinguishes it from others.

The Way We Work

Leadership is a practice, not a title. For the company to be successful, everyone needs to practice active leadership.

We work together to find ways to be successful.

Problems give way to effort. Effort is most effective when all members are rowing, the ship’s course has been determined, and everyone knows the destination.

Accountability, autonomy, and competency: Members will have as much autonomy as their competency and accountability will allow. This balances what we do and who does what.

Democracy and autocracy: We strive to balance the two. Decisions are better when refined through input, but then they are made and we move on.

Plans are only as effective as their follow through, their monitoring, and their adjustment when necessary.

We make things simple by working through their complexities.

Principles before profit.

Anyone can be right.

Everybody counts.

Integrity matters.

These are our standards of practice. We will lose money, decline work, and restrict our expansion before we compromise these.
