It is a versatile management tool that develops Job Match Patterns that can be customized by company, department, manager, position, geography, or any combination of these factors.

Job Match Testing Makes the Difference

Job Match Patterns are effective because they compare the qualities of your job candidates to the attributes of your most productive employees. The patterns tell you whether candidates are like or different from your top performers. A study published in the Harvard Business Review concluded that Job Match more accurately predicts job success than any of the commonly accepted factors, such as education, experience, or job training. Matching people so they fit the work they do builds productivity and job-satisfaction and diminishes negative factors such as stress, tension, conflict, miscommunication, and costly employee turnover.

The Profile XT™ produces these valuable reports:

Individual Report - An Individual Report is used for personal growth and development. It describes a person’s attributes and gives insights to improve job performance and productivity.

Placement Report - A Placement Report is used to put the right person in the right job. It gives employers assessments of job candidates’ thinking style, behavioral traits, and occupational interests, giving the candidate’s percentage match to the company’s top performers. The report also provides behaviorally based questions interviewers can ask to help determine a candidate’s suitability for the position being filled.

Succession Planning Report - The Succession Planning Report lets you look into the future. It compares a person to all of the jobs in your company and indicates those where they have a good job match.
