Thomas designed its job profiling tool specifically to make the creation of job profiles much simpler and more intuitive. This unique online tool is fast and effective with the results displayed in a clear graphical format.
Before you can recruit the right person you need to understand not only the candidate’s profile but that of the role itself. Just as behavioural profiling with PPA enables you to understand the behavioural characteristics of an individual, job profiling helps you identify the behavioural requirements of a job.
Why use Thomas job profiling tool?
Job profiling complements the psychometric profiling that Personal Profile Analysis delivers. Both enable you to 'fit' job and candidate together seamlessly. By comparing a PPA profile against that of a job profile you are able to assess how well a person would 'fit' the role. Thomas' psychometric and behavioural profiling works in tandem with job profiling.
What does job profiling do?
This tool helps you to think of the key behavioural requirements of the job you are recruiting for in a natural and intuitive way. The process is structured to give you a template into which you can slot a candidate. Just as psychometric profiling helps you understand people's behaviour, job profiles provide an objective view of the characteristics required for a particular role.
To assist in analysing how well PPA results compare to a job profile, Thomas has designed a guideline that offers external, expert opinion on how good a fit there is. Called ‘Goodness of Fit’ the guidelines are in the form of a rating system ‘Fit 1’ through to ‘Fit 5’.
How does job profiling work?
You can create job profiles very simply and quickly. Four simple steps is all it takes. You will be presented with a blank graph with the four points (D, I, S and C) in a flat line on the centre line.
To the left are the Job Demand lists, consisting of four sets of words that can be applied to a job. They describe the main focus of the job under review and highlight the main potential characteristics required to be successful in that role. The words represent the high factors you are looking for in that role.
Thomas also offers behavioural and skills profiling. Skills profiling offers over 100 tests measuring hard competences such as MS Office, secretarial skills as well as literacy and numeracy. Behavioural profiling is delivered via the Personal Profile Analysis (PPA), a fast, accurate and cost effective way to understand people at work.
