Which of your business activities could benefit?
With the huge range of tools available, testing and assessment tools can be used in practically all aspects of people management. Four key areas where many businesses find profiling useful are:

1. Recruitment
Selecting people for jobs, whether they’re external or internal candidates. Tests can be used to create an initial short list (known as sifting), to decide on interview questions or to investigate essential characteristics for a job.

2. Retention
Profiling can help to manage team relationships, resolve conflict, tailor training programmes and ensure staff are doing the right job for them. A positive work environment where staff feel valued is one they are less likely to want to leave.

3. Training
Profiling can identify strengths and weakness, pinpoint training needs and be used to evaluate the success of training courses.

4. Development
This covers a huge area from individual to organisational development. Profiling could be used to coach employees struggling with aspects of their job, put together high performance project teams, assist with change management, or survey potential issues within a team, department or company.

5. Suitable for all candidates and exiting team members
We can also conduct profiling on your existing team as well as all candidates submitted to you, not just those submitted by New Leaf Search, including any internal candidates you may have.

What benefits can personal profile analysis bring to your organisation?
We can quickly and effectively profile the job you are recruiting for to produce a behavioural template. We can then conduct personal profile analyses (PPA) on prospective candidates to find the best fit against that particular job profile.

The PPA provides a comprehensive assessment of an individual including working strengths, fears, motivators and the value that person brings to an employer. It also includes how they are likely to perform under pressure, how they modify their behaviour in their current job and any frustrations or problems they may be facing.

Closely matching a job profile and PPA will provide you with an additional tool to confirm your gut instinct and back up the recruitment decision making process.

Once a PPA has been completed there are a wide range of reports available which will enable you to appreciate and understand the way your people work, including Interview Questions, Interviewer’s Guide, Candidate Feedback, Strengths and Limitations, Compatibility, How to Manage and Training Needs Analysis. Please speak to your consultant for further information on each of these reports.

Since the PPA system enables employers to become aware of their employee work styles, it also improves the effectiveness of people management through greater understanding of why people behave the way they do.
