The Profile XT is a "Total person" assessment that has a myriad of uses. It measures the job-related qualities that make a person productive - Thinking and Reasoning Style, Behavioral Traits and Occupational Interests.
The Profile XT is used for placement, promotion, self-improvement, coaching, succession planning, and job description development. Our clients tell us The Profile XT is three to five times more effective than any other assessment they have used. It is a versatile management tool that develops Job Match Patterns that can be customized by:
- Your company
- Your location
- Your department
- Your specific needs
- Your management style
- Your corporate culture
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 diminish negative factors such as stress, tension, conflict, miscommunication and costly employee turnover.
There are three methods of creating a company's unique job profile.
Based on objective criteria, the management team selects top performers in a given position. The top performing employees are assessed based on mental abilities, behavioral traits, and occupational interest. This data is processed at your company's Online Assessment Center. The result is a unique top performer JobFit profile.
Using 26 years of research and the inclusion of 117,000 working individuals, we have constructed more than 1,200 validated job profiles in our Assessment Center Matrix. This is an ideal method when a new position is created or top performers are not present. From the online assessment center, companies can select job profiles from the matrix database.
With the job profile analysis, multiple managers have the ability to weigh in opinions and views regarding a specific position. Once the 57-question analysis is complete, managers' responses are entered into the assessment center for processing. The result is a unique JobFit profile.
The Profile XT produces these informative reports:
- - 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.
- - 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 suggests questions interviewers can ask to help determine a candidate’s suitability for the position being filled.
- - 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. With this information, you can help employees prepare for greater responsibilities by making sure they acquire the skills and experiences they will need in order to perform competently the jobs they will fill in coming years.
- - The Candidate Matching Report is helpful for narrowing your search as you seek to fill a position. It compares the attributes of several candidates to your Job Match Pattern and, at a glance, shows you which of them have the highest Job Match Percentage. Then, by closer examination of the top candidates’ Placement Reports, you can easily determine which of them you want to interview and graduate to the next steps in your hiring process.
- - Coaching reports are a manager’s guide to helping the people they manage develop better work habits. The report has suggestions for improving employee performance so it approaches the productivity of the company’s top performers. Using the reports to direct the development of employees enables managers to develop their leadership abilities.
- - The Job Analysis Report describes in great detail, the type of person who has the right qualities and characteristics to fit a particular job. This report complements a standard job description that details the skills and duties the job requires. Used together, they contain a Total person approach to explaining the requirements of a particular position.
- - Profile XT Sales reports are detailed reports designed to help evaluate prospective sales professionals seeking to join your sales force as well as your current employees. It reveals key strengths, weaknesses and areas of interest that will make placement, coaching and training consistently more effective.

- A company has 100 employees.
- Turnover is only 20% per year.
- Employee turnover cost is 3 months wages (very conservative)
- Average wage is $9.00/hr. plus 20% benefits.
- Existing yearly employee turnover cost = 100 employees X 20% X $5,616 (including benefits) = $112,320 per year.
- Let’s say the Profile XT reduces employee turnover by a conservative 50%.Often the percentage is significantly more. The yearly savings is = $56,160.
- The yearly cost of using the Profile XT after the initial study = $7,200
- Your Return On Investment (ROI) = $56,160/$7,200 = 780%!!!
This is why so many organizations are using the Profile XT.
