Job Match makes the difference
A well-documented study, published in Harvard Business Review concludes that "Job Match" is by far the most reliable predictor of effectiveness on the job. The study considered many factors including the age, sex, race, education and experience of approximately 300,000 subjects. It evaluated their job performance and found no significant statistical differences, except in the area of "Job Match." The conclusion: "It's not experience that counts or college degrees or other accepted factors; success hinges on a fit with the job."
Job Match is critical! We help you learn what is required for every job and establish benchmarks that are easy to understand. When evaluating your candidates, you measure them against the job pattern for the position they are applying for. You have immediate access to easy-to-read reports with just the level of information that you need, including job match rating, behavioral-based interview questions and coaching suggestions.
"We have found The ProfileTM a very user-friendly tool in benchmarking our retail positions."

Case Study
When using our assessments, you can quickly and easily understand more about a person’s strengths and work style. The graph below shows a candidate’s score (indicated by the X) falling above the shaded area, which represents the customized Job Pattern for a Project Coordinator position. This means that the person’s natural work style will be different from the job requirements, noted in the legend below. These differences can create challenges for work performance and require more effort on the part of the individual and manager to compensate for the gap.
In this particular manufacturing company for this Project Coordinator position, employees who score lower on the Independence scale have a greater level of success in the role. In this role, the Project Coordinator must be willing to follow the direction of a highly involved manager and other key members of the organization. It is important to remember that the “fit” is more important that whether a style is “right” or “wrong.”
