The assessment products themselves exceed the thirteen requirements determined by the Department of Labor for assessments and meet all EEOC, ADA, DOL and Civil Rights Act requirements. The assessments are engineered to be gender, age, and ethnic neutral. All assessments can be administered online with 24/7 access and are supported with documentation regarding their reliability and validity. The diversity, depth and richness of the assessments themselves as well as their supporting reports lead the industry by a significant margin and have been noted by a number of third parties such as The Aberdeen Group.
Profiles International has been in this business for twenty years, is active in 122 countries and counts among its 40,000+ worldwide clients companies such as Mercedes-Benz, Motorola, Wells Fargo, Southwest Airlines, SAP, Ernst & Young, and Time Warner Cable.
