The Right Person in the Right Role:

Stop relying on gut feeling and subjective interviews. The Psychometric Portal® helps you take the guesswork out of hiring by providing objective data on how candidates' personality traits align with the specific requirements of your open roles. Our powerful Job Match tools, combined with the insights of The Quest Profiler®, will transform your recruitment process and help you build high-performing teams.

Quickly identify strengths, potential challenges, and areas for development, enabling you to make informed hiring decisions and support employee growth.

What is Job Matching?

Job matching is a sophisticated, data-driven approach to talent optimization. It goes beyond simply filling an open role; it's about finding the right person for the right role. By aligning an individual's behavioural preferences with the specific requirements of a position, job matching increases the likelihood of employee success, job satisfaction, and long-term retention.

The Psychometric Portal® facilitates this process by analysing data from Quest Profiler®, our robust personality assessment. This allows you to identify candidates whose inherent behavioural tendencies are best suited to the demands and responsibilities of the role in question. By understanding these preferences, you can gain valuable insights into how a candidate is likely to approach tasks, interact with colleagues, and respond to challenges within the workplace. This data-driven approach helps you make informed hiring decisions that contribute to building high-performing, engaged teams.

How it Works:

Define the Ideal Role Profile:

Start by identifying the key personality traits and behaviors required for success in the role. Our Job Analysis tool allows you to pinpoint the most relevant Quest Profiler® scales and define the ideal score ranges for each, either through manual selection based on your expertise or by using our guided questionnaire.

Assess Candidates with The Quest Profiler®:

Gain deep insights into your candidates' workplace behaviors and preferences with The Quest Profiler®. This comprehensive personality assessment measures a wide range of traits, providing a detailed understanding of each individual's strengths, potential challenges, and preferred ways of working. The Quest Profiler® delivers detailed narrative reports that can be used to understand individuals on a deeper level, and can be administered in multiple languages to support global recruitment efforts.

Generate Job Match Reports:

Our platform offers a variety of reports to help you compare candidates'Quest Profiler® results to your defined ideal role profile:
  • Job Match Matrix:

    This concise report provides a clear, tabular overview of how multiple candidates measure up against the ideal profile. Color-coding highlights areas of strong match, potential mismatch, and areas where scores fall within the desired range. This report is ideal for quickly comparing candidates and identifying those who best fit the role requirements.
  • Integrated Selection & Recruitment Reports:

    For a more comprehensive view, you can access job match information directly within the Quest Profiler® reports. This provides a holistic understanding of each candidate, combining personality insights with specific job match data.
  • Job Match Interview Guide:

    This report not only shows how well a person's Quest results match the ideal role profile, but also provides a structured framework for conducting interviews. It includes suggested interview questions and probes, along with criteria for evaluating responses and space for taking notes. This tool helps ensure consistency and objectivity throughout the interview process.

We have been working with eras for many years now and specifically use the 360 function regularly. The 360 function is fantastic as we can amend it to suit whatever we need. It's easy to use and produces really useful information in a very professional report. When working with eras I've personally found them to be extremely responsive and very helpful, they go out of their way to support and find solutions.

The trainers are very knowledgeable, bringing the subject of psychometrics to life, and there is a nice blend of practical and theory to cement learning objectives in place. I highly recommend it to HR, L&D or Recruitment professionals!
