In today's business environment where companies desire to foster diversity and ensure compliance with all fair hiring practices, assessments are a valuable tool.

Profiles International has designed their assessments in compliance with EEOC, ADA, civil rights and all other federal and state regulations. While there are assessments in the market place that may not have validated their assessments against these critical factors, our company continually validates our assessments based on historical and RECENTLY enacted regulations. This ensures that the questions on the assessments are not only legal, but protect individual privacy and support diversity in the workplace as a natural outcome of the selection process.

Here is what the experts say about assessments:

"Chances are good that up to 66% of your company's hiring decisions will prove to be mistakes in the first twelve months."
Peter Drucker, Management Consultant

"When an employee leaves you,...you're going to lose 2 1/2 times the person's annual salary, whether they're entry-level or senior management."
Dr. Pierre Mornell, as quoted in Nations Business

"In these days of talent wars, the best way to keep your stars is to KNOW THEM BETTER THAN THEY KNOW THEMSELVES---and then use that information to customize the careers of their dreams."
"Job Sculpting: The Art of Retaining
Your best People"
