JobFit™ Assessments

When your business invests in an expensive piece of equipment, you receive a manual containing instructions for operating, maintaining and troubleshooting. But when you invest in human capital through you employees, you do not receive a similar manual. Executives Online in conjunction with Profiles International are now able to offer JobFit™ assessments to our clients.

What Will a JobFit™ Assessment Tell Me?

JobFit™ assessments fill the information gap in human resource management, providing organisations with critical information to enable them to understand why their people think and behave as they do. This understanding leads to the better allocation of human capital, maximises the effectiveness of every employee, and gives tangible results in terms of

• increased productivity
• reduced stress
• reduced tension
• reduced conflict and
• a positive impact on the bottom line.

There's no doubt that, when people match their jobs, they perform up to and beyond expectations.

What is a JobFit™ Assessment?

They are employee assessments that reveal the human characteristics that make each of us unique and individual and allow you to match employees to the work they do.

Every role has requirements that go beyond the job description. Jobs that require assertiveness can be performed by people trained to act assertively, but they will be consistently performed better by a naturally assertive person. And, when the duties of a role conflict with a person's inborn characteristics, they suffer from tension and stress that can lead to organisational conflict and employee burn-out.

How Does JobFit™ Work with the Executives Online Recruitment Service?

If you have an executive role to fill, you can complete a JobFit™ assessment in conjunction with our executive recruitment service. Completing the JobFit™ analysis survey, which consists of around 50 questions concerning the characteristics of the role to be filled, costs nothing to complete and will provide you with an excellent insight into the type of characteristics you should expect candidates for the role to have.
