What is meant by a Job Match Pattern?
A Job Match Pattern (also called a “benchmark” or “success” pattern) refers to a composite picture of the characteristics of top performers produced by assessing and analyzing a sample group. Job Match Patterns are developed to help employers understand what characteristics and traits tend to be associated with successful performance in a specific position. Job Match Patterns are developed utilizing the actual assessment results from the top performers using the ProfileXT assessment. Thus, the Job Match Patterns reflects the characteristics which are typically found in those who are found to be successful at the job under study. Typically, when someone’s score falls inside the desired pattern, their overall job match percent is higher than the job match percent for those who fall outside the job match pattern. The higher the overall job match percent reported, the higher the expectancy that individual will fit well into the job under consideration.
