Hiring Employees

Profiles International helps you significantly improve your existing employee screening and employee hiring practices.

The renowned business guru, Peter Drucker, estimates that two-thirds of employee hiring decisions may be hiring mistakes.

From your experience you know you have hired some excellent employees and some who failed. Now take a moment and think back. Did you use the same employee screening method to hire both? Typically we find that employers do employ the same methods for each position. This suggests that your existing employee selection process may produce inconsistent hiring results. Employee Hiring
 

Further, your employee selection process is one of the most strategic and valuable places you can cut costs and maximize productivity – if your process works correctly the first time. Employing a proven employee screening system is key to making sure that your selection process works effectively.

Profiles International assessments are invaluable employee screening tools for increasing consistency in your employee selection system. What makes Profiles International assessments the leading assessment tools in the industry is our exclusive Job Fit™ technology.

By including job match as a key factor in your employee selection process, your allocation of human capital will be significantly more effective. Most employee hiring decisions are made with inadequate information; however, Profiles International assessments will deliver the information you need to know before tendering a job offer and making a hiring mistake.

Client Comments
 

"Idaho Fish and Game has its share of baby boomers within our Conservation Officer ranks, and they are rapidly retiring. We have had to step up our recruitment efforts to fill our increased vacancies. We began looking at ways to identify those talents in our successful officers and find a mechanism to identify those traits in our candidates. We found what we were looking for when we were introduced to the Profile XT offered by Profiles International.

We hired seven officers who have become known as the “Magnificent Seven”. Every one of them exhibits the behavioral traits identified in our Profiles XT Idaho Fish and Game Officer Job analysis. After two years, all seven continue to excel in their work and have set the bar higher for future recruits."

- Jon Heggen, Idaho Fish and Game
 

"We have saved a great deal of money using Profiles’ assessments because we haven't made a bad hiring choice. I like the variety of the assessments that we can use, and the option to specialize in different areas."

- Jerry Hosko, Redi Carpet
 

"We used the assessments when hiring 141 people in the 18 months after implementing. The end result: An incredible 99.3 percent score in terms of identifying and hiring productive and retainable team members. We find Profiles and its products tremendously helpful in showing us how to guard our key assets -- our people."

- Michael Owens, VHI Healthcare
 

"By implementing the ProfileSelect system in combination with The Profile XT assessment tool, we are now able to quickly and accurately evaluate tens of thousands of candidates' resumes each year. The AMS also provides us the ability to search this extensive database in seconds whereas the previous manual process was administratively onerous. And, the Profile assessment tool has allowed us to customize the tool's pattern to more accurately reflect a candidate's propensity for success with OUR jobs in OUR company."

- Chuck LaMotte, White Lodging
 

"We screen applicants and then use the Step One Survey II. We specifically look at integrity, attitudes about substance abuse, reliability, and work ethic. Next, we go to the Profile XT, which helps with questions to ask in subsequent interviews. We've used these products for a while and will revisit them in future recruiting."

- Kip Botkin, Highland Police Force
