Explanation

Job Profiler

The Job Profiler is presented to several respondent groups, such as role experts, role holders, stakeholders, employees and managers, to get a broad picture of a role.

From a selection of 50 competencies, respondents indicate per competency on a 6-point scale how relevant it is, from irrelevant to essential.

The Job Profiler is a competency-based profiler of roles: for each competency you set how important it is for the role. The questionnaire preview reflects this.

  • Competency relevance
  • Working and thinking level
  • Multiple perspectives

Additionally, the required working and thinking level and optional questions about risk factors, developments in the role and leadership styles are asked. The report collects all answers clearly with rankings, as input for the conversation about profiling a role.

This test measures Competency relevance, Working and thinking level, Multiple perspectives. You use it in the HR cycle: Selection → development → performance → appraisal. A report indicating per respondent group which competencies and behaviours they consider important. Completion takes 10 minutes (Multiple-choice questionnaire supplemented with open questions.) and you receive the results in your inbox, with no PDF to download.

All about Job Profiler

Why several respondent groups?+

This creates a broad and supported picture of which competencies and behaviours are really important for the role.

What do you use the outcome for?+

As well-founded input for selection, development and appraisal.

How long does an online assessment take?+

Most assessments take 15 to 45 minutes. The exact time depends on the test type and number of sections; you work at your own pace and see an indication of the duration beforehand.

In which languages can I take the test?+

Our assessments are available in Dutch, English, German, French, Spanish and Romanian. Candidates choose their preferred language at the start, so language never gets in the way of a fair measurement.

What results do I get and what does the report look like?+

After completion you receive a clear report with scores, charts and a plain explanation per dimension. The report includes concrete insights and, where relevant, recommendations for selection or development.

Are the tests scientifically validated?+

Yes. Our instruments are built on established psychological models and validated through norming studies. We support construct and criterion validity with periodically updated data.

How reliable are the results?+

The tests have high reliability coefficients (internal consistency and test-retest). This means the scores are stable and consistent and provide a solid basis for decisions.

Can I subscribe or purchase a single test?+

Both are possible. You can buy a single administration for one candidate, or choose a subscription or credit bundle for frequent use with better rates and management via your own environment.
