Our History

Established in 2013, Global Test Consultants is full service professional company that was created due to the needs and requirements of an ever-growing client base. Considering the requests of our associates, a partnership between GTC and Profiles International was made and therefore, starting with September 2016, GTC was announced as being the “Official Profiles International Distributer” in the region.

By doing so, GTC takes forward the legacy of the outstanding work Profiles International delivered, through its partners, on the Romanian market since 2002.

Profiles International is widely acknowledged as being one of the leading companies that develops employee assessments and talent management solutions in the world. We help our clients gain a competitive advantage by understanding their people at the deepest levels. This includes how they think; natural tendencies, behaviors, and preferences; and attitudes toward key workplace issues. This helps them select the right people, place them in the right roles, and manage them to their full potential.

How will assessing employees help my business?

Job assessment tests provide managers and executives with a greater understanding of the characteristics and tendencies of their employees. Profiles’ assessments enable organizations to: match applicants with jobs that fit their characteristics, understand strengths and limitations for successful onboarding, and identify opportunities to enhance performance and maximize their long-term contribution to the organization. This reduces costs associated with employee absenteeism and turnover, minimizes disruptions to customers, coworkers, and operations, and improves overall workforce productivity.

What types of assessments do you offer?

Profiles International offers a full line of assessments to help your organization select the right people and develop them to their full potential. These include:

• Pre-screening assessments that measure basic job-related skills and give you insight into an applicant’s work ethic, reliability, and integrity.
• Customizable job-fit assessments that help you select and develop people in specific managerial, technical, sales or service jobs in your organization.
• Four-quadrant type personality assessments for motivating and coaching employees, and resolving post-hire conflict and performance issues.
• 360-degree multi-rater assessments, used primarily for improving the effectiveness of leaders and managers in your organization.
• Managerial and team-fit assessments that help improve alignment, interpersonal relationships, and workforce productivity.
• Workplace engagement surveys that check the pulse of the organization and identify opportunities to improve employee morale and satisfaction.
• Customer loyalty surveys to drive retention and growth.
• Our assessments are designed to work together and are administered from a single platform for maximum convenience, utility, and efficiency.

Are your assessments scientifically valid and reliable?

Yes. We take the science behind our assessments very seriously and invest heavily to do so. We employ a team of full-time psychologists and psychometricians who conduct ongoing research and development to ensure that our assessment instruments exceed all employment assessment guidelines. Our assessments have been adapted and validated in over 32 languages and are using local norm groups. Furthermore, an impressive amount of scientific research papers have been published proving the reliability and technical quality of the tools itself. The assessments are also continually monitored to ensure no gender, age, or ethnic bias.

How do your assessments help me select the best people

Our career assessments give you deep, objective insight into a candidate’s personality, behaviors, and interests necessary for success. These include:

• Work ethic, reliability, and integrity
• Fit with the job
• Fit with the team
• Fit with the manager

For example, the ProfileXT®(PXT) helps a manager benchmark top performers in a specific job to identify the qualities required for success, and then use this model as a basis to evaluate new candidates. Hiring managers typically receive training on the PXT that includes discussion of statistics showing that employees who come closest to these ideal profiles are most likely to stay with the company. The training also covers how to use assessment results and helps guide managers’ choices regarding what questions to ask in job interviews. The PXT is one input to the hiring decision. If the hiring manager decides to hire an employee who is not evaluated as a good fit, the information from the career assessment is not lost. This data provides valuable insights to the manager in order to develop a plan that will increase the individual’s success in the role – data the manager would not have had otherwise.
