Psychometric Profiling Tools

Job Analysis 01


The revolutionary Job Analysis tools allow you to identify the key requirements of a particular role by generating an Ideal Role Profile. The crucial competencies and behaviours for your role can be automatically identified with the Job Analysis questionnaire, or you may prefer to design a bespoke Ideal Role Profile by picking your own mix of behaviours and competencies. A selection of Competency Based Interview questions can also be generated.

Job Match 02


The Job Match tools are ideal for the identification of areas to probe at interview, for candidate sifting during the recruitment process, or for the identification of training and development needs. By matching candidates against the key requirements of an Ideal Role Profile, you can easily identify development needs and sift applicants. Job Match can be applied to both The Quest Profiler® and the Job Match Matrix reports.

Threesixty 03


Threesixty looks as specific aspects of people’s working behaviour, such as people management, team working or interpersonal style, with a view to improving it. It is based on objective data gathered from people who are well positioned to observe the individual at work – typically their own staff, peers and manager. Feedback, whilst completely anonymous, is therefore very specific, meaningful and powerful.

Culture & Engagement 04


The culture, values and level of employee engagement within an organisation are widely acknowledged as having key influences on its performance and effectiveness. An organisation’s culture, values and engagement will therefore have a crucial impact on the way it operates. It influences what behaviours are rewarded, how people work together and how decisions are made. Managers need to have access to accurate, reliable and comprehensive information about their organisation’s perceived culture and values and to act promptly yet sensitively to deal with the implications that follow.
