The Ideal Profile

Ideal Profiles model the optimal behavioral characteristics for each job. There are two main types of profiles: Best Practice Profiles which come pre-loaded in the system and can be used to "jump start" the implementation process, and Custom Ideal Profiles which are custom-developed for your company through a highly automated system.

Best Practice Profiles have been pre-assembled by PeopleAnswers. They represent both the experience of dozens of experts observing top performers, as well as other companies' aggregate knowledge of top performing employees. The PeopleAnswers system comes pre-loaded with many of the most common positions found in corporate environments today. 

Custom Ideal Profiles are an ideal solution for companies that would like to duplicate their own exiting top performing employees. PeopleAnswers allows you to model your assessment criteria based on your own employees so that every candidate evaluation is based on your proven criteria for success.

The process of creating a Custom Ideal Profile is highly automated. Your existing employees complete the online assessment. You provide us with their current performance data. The PeopleAnswers system then creates your Custom Ideal Profiles with all the supporting information (Concurrent Validity). This highly predictive model based entirely on your own existing employees can then be used to assess all your future candidates and other current employees.
The element of corporate culture

Regardless if you are using a Best Practice Profile or a Custom Ideal Profile, PeopleAnswers allows you to include the unique characteristics of your culture into all your assessments. The best candidate in the wrong culture will not perform at their best. Cultural Fit has a significant impact on an employee’s job satisfaction and performance. Unlike our competition, PeopleAnswers includes your company’s culture in the analysis for a more complete and meaningful assessment.
