1. Who is Profiles International?

Profiles helps organizations worldwide create high-performing workforces. We do this through our comprehensive suite of employee assessments and performance management solutions.

We help our clients gain a competitive advantage by understanding their people at the deepest levels. This includes how they think, natural tendencies, behaviors and preferences, and attitudes toward key workplace issues. This helps them select the right people, place them in the right roles, and manage them to their full potential.

Since our founding in 1991, we have delivered over 45,000,000 assessments to over 40,000 organizations in 122 countries. We do this through our team of nearly 200 home office employees and 1,000 business partners with backgrounds in organizational psychology, human resource management, sales management, corporate training, coaching, consulting, education, and information technology.

2. Why do organizations use employee assessments?

Only about 10% of a person’s behavior can be described by what others can observe through day-to-day interactions. Our assessments are based on sound scientific and psychological principles, and give organizations in depth, objective, comprehensive and reliable information about their people.

This includes:

  • How they think
  • Natural tendencies, behaviors and preferences
  • How they interact with peers and managers
  • Attitudes toward important performance-related issues

This information enables the organization to select the best people for a job, improve communication between employees and their managers, improve team performance and organizational climate, and to build consistent culture and values.

3. What do Profiles business partners do?

Profiles business partners use our assessments to support the services they offer to their clients, such as recruiting, training and development, executive coaching, and human resources consulting. All have one thing in common: they are passionate about working with organizations and people.

If you have ever dreamed of launching your own recruiting, training, or consulting practice, we have the tools and the knowhow to help you succeed. Or, if you are already in this type of business, we can help you add additional products to make your solutions more robust and your practice more profitable.

By offering our assessments to your clients, you will provide them with tremendous insight into their organization and their people. You make money re-selling our assessments, which in turn creates many additional opportunities to provide value-added services to help you clients apply this insight to improve performance.

So, we provide you with exceptional assessment and talent management products, an incredible on-line assessment delivery system, outstanding sales and marketing support, and over 20 years of experience working with entrepreneurs. We take care of all of the science, technology and branding so you can focus on building your practice and helping your clients succeed.

4. Who makes a good business partner?

We have over 1,300 active business partners around the world, which gives us a very good understanding of what it takes to succeed in this business.

Individuals must have a seasoned business background with a strong desire to build and maintain long-term client relationships.

5. Is the market for employee assessments and talent management solutions healthy?

Every organization can benefit from helping their employees improve productivity and performance. You will have the opportunity to provide the one thing that every company needs.

Employee and employer costs such as payroll and benefits etc., typically make up as much as 60% of a company's expenses. Research shows that if people related costs make up more than 50% of expenses, the business is going to struggle to succeed financially. By helping companies make the most of their most important asset, their people, you will help improve both the top and the bottom line.

In fact, the market for employee assessments and talent management solutions is growing and offers numerous opportunities for our business partners. During prosperous times, organizations fight “a war for talent” and assessments help them identify current and future leaders and offer the right development to fuel future growth. During slower times, assessments help organizations talent cut the fat without cutting the bone and work more efficiently.
