Success profile
One thing is to need a new employee – another is knowing which work they should perform – the third is being able to tailor a search for candidates. The increased impact on your company’s turnover and growth is, in fact, deeply dependent on whether you get the right candidate, one who hits an average level or a top performer. A success profile based on talents unveils the essential success criteria for a candidate to perform as a top performer in your company. It will ensure that he / she has great success with the tasks he / she gets, and at the same time focuses on well-being and continuous development within the job role. Since all of the data comes from your own top performers in your current work, you can utilise statistics from your own successes in your existing culture.

When a candidate fits the company’s success profile, the company has statistically found a “clone” of their top performers. Several traditional tests and tools will inform you which box or category a candidate belongs to, and the challenge here is that there is still quite a difference between what exactly creates a top performer. Cognitive talents explain why each individual succeeds in what they do, and a success profile compares all the data from the tested top performers at the company. Therefore, the company takes all success criteria into account and clarifies whether the candidate’s talents match. The test works inside out, revealing the inner elements that create each of the unique top performers. It also increases the chances of even better development, as the company can uncover unique talent combinations along the way, in turn creating further success.

Research studies show a direct correlation between increased output on revenue and engagement, and the companies that utilise a talent-based approach to recruitment and development. This is mainly because talents are an accurate way to uncover success. They explain our instinctive and preferred behavioural traits, specifying in which areas they occur most frequently. Cognitive talents clearly show where our brains possess the greatest activity, and this is where an employee needs to be used. Success profiling through identifying talents can therefore increase the likelihood that a new employee can work in a similar, or better, manner in upcoming tasks and projects at the company, thus ensuring success.
