HIRE THE BEST PERSON FOR THE JOB WITH ASSESSMENTS!

Profiles International is the most technologically advanced, state-of-the-art, web-based system available today for measuring human potential and predicting job performance.

We can no longer use the old subjective methods of hiring people because “they passed an interview.” Today’s candidates pay people to teach them how to write resumé’s and be seen favorably in an interview. How do you combat that?

People let you see what they want you to see! Only 10% of the total person is understood through a resumé, referrals, appearance and work history. For a positive job fit, you need to know the other 90%. A person’s thinking and reasoning style, their occupational interest, their behavioral traits and how they handle a specific job responsibility make up the 90% that is hidden in a "traditional” method of hiring.

The assessments from Profiles International satisfy all the requirements of the EEOC, the ADA, the DOL, and the Civil Rights Act. They were designed to be specifically job-related and have been validated in accordance with the American Psychological Association Standards. Profiles International assessments are validated to be Age-blind, Gender-blind, and Ethnicity-blind. It measures only those factors relevant to selecting the best people to fit the requirements of specific jobs.

The majority of the assessments can also
be customized to match job patterns for:

*Your Company * A Department * A Management Style
* A Corporate Culture * Your specific Needs
* Your Location * Your Job Requirements
