Almost 40% of people say that they have ‘fallen into’ a job they’re not suited to.
How can a hiring manager be sure that they are employing the right candidate, if the candidate themselves isn’t sure it’s the right job for them?
The strongest and most attractive candidates know what career they are suited to. They know what motivates them, what they are good at and what they can deliver. And most importantly, they know how to communicate this!
The LAB Profile allows us to look at how people are motivated, how we process information and therefore how we make decisions.
Candidates are increasingly turning to the LAB Profile in order to understand themselves, and target their job applications appropriately. The LAB Profile allows candidates to see beyond the job description and determine whether this is the right role for them. Not only is this ability increasing their rate of return in terms of securing interviews, but it also allows the candidate to confidently stand out from the crowd.
As an employer, how can you use the LAB Profile in order to streamline your recruiting process?
“The LAB Profile is not just a tool for candidates to assess themselves against what hiring managers are looking for. It’s an invaluable tool for decision makers and hiring managers.
"It allows us to take a closer look at a candidate’s language and figure out what they’re really saying (or not saying as the case may be!). They might be saying “yes” when you ask if they work well in a large team, but is this something they actually enjoy? Or will they end up feeling dissatisfied and disengaged, damaging team morale and productivity levels? Recruiting is a costly process and not something you want to repeat unnecessarily!

The science behind the LAB Profile is worth reading about if you feel that psychometrics and gut feel aren't helping you hire the right people.
