PROFILE:MATCH pulled in a full house at the HRD conference Topic Taster Showcase, with standing room only for late comers. In his presentation, ëCompetency Metrics ñ bringing personality to lifeí, PCL M.D. Geoff Trickey explained the science underpinning the revolutionary PROFILE:MATCH online assessment system.
ìPROFILE:MATCH is not just another questionnaire on web pages rather than paper, explains Geoff, it involves a complete shift in process management exploiting the features of the internet.î PROFILE:MATCH draws on state of the art psychometrics, but delivers in the readily understood language of work place competencies. Results donít need further explanation for clients or decision makers ñ they are immediately accessible and readily understood.
PROFILE:MATCH is an expert system offering tailored assessments, and standardised interpretations based on the well researched relationship between personality and job effectiveness. Using the technically innovative ëcompetency metricsí*, PROFILE:MATCH completes all the advanced interpretation for you, transforming personality profiles into finely incremented competency ratings for the competencies that YOU selected.
To those who have got used to the typical ëone size fits allí approach to assessment, presenting the same questionnaire to candidates for all sorts of different jobs, PROFILE:MATCH is an amazing experience. This will be the first time that THEY really feel in control of the science. THEY just have to select the competencies to be assessed, but in effect, THEY design the questionnaire and THEY design the reports. And, everything about the system is straightforward, clear and incredibly simple to use.
Since October 2005, when PROFILE:MATCH was launched at the CIPD Conference, its creators at PCL have been continuously developing the system. New functions, new competencies, new languages and new reports are continuously being added, ensuring that PROFILE:MATCH maintains its leading position.
