Job Analysis Survey
Filling a job with the right person is often a challenge
because the most important requirements of the job have never been defined
in a truly comprehensive manner. Traditional job descriptions may list
duties to be performed, but lack definitions of the intangibles that result
in exceptional job performance.
The Profiles Job Analysis Survey is
a system that fills the gap between perception and reality when it comes
to describing what a particular job "looks like."
First, the survey measures the thinking style required
for the job in terms of problem solving ability, verbal reasoning and
skills, numerical ability, and numeric reasoning.
Then it does an analysis of the job to see what it has
that appeals to different people. Will this job, it asks, interest people
who are enterprising, or interested in financial data and business systems,
or want to provide service, or who are technical, mechanical, or creative?
And finally, it determines the behavior traits that facilitate
successful job performance; traits such as energy level, assertiveness,
sociability, attitude, objective judgment, and others.
The results of the survey are compiled and processed
into a written description of the person who has high potential for accomplishment
in the job, plus a "Job Match Pattern" that graphically presents the significant
data. This information is used to identify people who match the job's
requirements in their thinking style, occupational interests and behavioral
traits.
It is not enough to hire bright, educated, and trained
people. Unless they also match the jobs in which they are placed, their
job performance will fail to be as high as expected. People do not reach
their full potential in jobs they do not fit.
By using the Job Analysis Survey, you
are assured that the people you place in jobs have a significantly higher
likelihood of meeting and exceeding your job performance expectations.
