Talent Management

Profiles International provides talent management solutions for acquiring, cultivating and retaining skilled employees.
In a time where creative growth and technological advancements are a crucial part of maintaining success in business, companies are becoming more aware of the importance of attracting and retaining talent. Talent management, over the next few years, will become one of the most difficult tasks an organization may face as fewer workers with the right skill sets are entering the marketplace.
Developing an effective talent management strategy is the first step in making sure your business can respond to challenges like preparing for the emerging talent crisis, cultivating the skill sets of your current workforce and retaining highly talented employees by protecting them from competitors.
Profiles International has a family of products that will help you develop a strategic plan to manage talent throughout the employee cycle.
The ProfileXT is the most technologically advanced, state-of-the-art system available today for measuring individual talent potential and predicting job performance.  Using the ProfileXT as a key part of your talent management strategy will help you discover employee skill sets both before and during employment.  Placing the right people in the right positions will cultivate talent within your organization. The Profiles Performance Indicator is a valuable performance assessment tool that can be used to evaluate employee talent. This knowledge can be used to increase employee productivity and motivation. It measures critical behavioral tendencies in five critical job related competencies: productivity, quality of work, initiative, teamwork and problem solving. The Profiles Performance Indicator also provides recommendations for improving employee performance such as how to respond to job-related stress, frustration and conflict, how to stimulate employee motivation, and whether the employee is internally motivated or will need external stimulation. These are all critical components to a successful talent management strategy.
