“Good to Great”
Best selling author Jim Collins
says that the most critical driver
for a great company is the ability
to hire and retain top performers.
Easier said than done, but
POLARIS has the tools and
processes to make that happen.
We provide critical information to
companies large and small that
helps them select, develop and
retain top performers in every job
position throughout the company,
from entry level to CEO across
industries.
Veteran management guru Peter
Drucker says that the chances of
a “good hire” are only 1 in 3. We
can improve those chances to 3
in 4!! Considering that the cost
of management turnover ranges
from 300% to 600% of the annual
salary, that drain is large enough.
But resultant leadership gaps
threaten a company’s ability to
execute against current strategy
or future operations altogether.
POLARIS can change that.
“Bad Hires” Cost Billions
Today corporate America loses
$11 billion a year to employee
turnover. Bad hires and untested
employee evaluation practices
create a tremendous drag on
productivity and profits at
virtually every company. Those
least affected are taking
advantage of easy-to-use
employee assessments that help
you make the right choice at a
critical moment.
Right Person- Right Job-Right
Now
A well-documented Harvard
Business Review study concludes
that job match is by far the best
predictor of effectiveness on the
job—much more dependable than
experience, college degrees or
other accepted factors.
Putting the “right people” in the
right jobs is half the battle in
business. With The Profile XT, for
example, you will hire more of
the right people, put them in the
right jobs, promote the best
people to leadership positions,
and coach your people to be
better at what they do for you.
Famed headhunter Lou Adler
says, “We recommend this test
highly.” Indeed, he says, “Hiring
great people is the single most
important thing you can do to
insure your own success.”
Expect higher production, better
management, reduced turnover
and a much happier workplace.
Oh, yes, one more thing you
should expect: higher profits!

Powerful & “Bulletproof”
Reduce your risk exposure and
hire safe, honest, reliable and
competent employees. Our
Profiles International
assessments satisfy all
requirements of the EEOC, the
ADA, the DOL, and the Civil
Rights Act. They have been
validated as specifically job-
related and have no adverse
impact. The pre-hiring
assessments set up a structured
interview process, a best practice
suggested by the US Department
of Labor.

Dramatic Results & Big ROIs

A manufacturer said, “We are
saving $785,000 per year for an
assessment program that costs
us just $18, 500.” A client
hospital reduced their 90-day
turnover rate by 60% in six
months. Many clients in health
care, finance, hospitality and
other industries experience huge
savings and Returns On
Investment of 22-1 and more.

Only 1 of 6 “skill-qualified”
candidates actually “fits” the job.
We can tell you which one is a
good match for you and produce
a good hire 75% of the time. Our
clients hire better, manage easier
and fire less often than their
competition. How much would a
systems approach to HR
development and succession
save your company?
