Finding the right candidate goes beyond matching a resume to a job description. It requires identifying an individual who aligns with your company culture and is motivated to contribute long-term. Whether you are reviving an old position or building a new one from the ground up, a well-defined Position Profile is critical to attracting the right talent and setting them up for success.
Most organizations start a search with a job description. The problem is that most job descriptions are outdated, generic, or written to satisfy compliance rather than to attract and evaluate the right talent. A Position Profile is fundamentally different. It is a strategic document that defines what success looks like in the role, not just what the role does. At TCG, we build Position Profiles by engaging directly with the people who understand the role best: hiring authorities, HR, peers, subordinates, and key stakeholders across the organization. We combine these insights with industry benchmarking, behavioral analysis through DrakeP3, and internal and external research to create a comprehensive profile that includes a detailed job description, target behavioral characteristics, clearly defined KPIs, and a structured Performance Appraisal Evaluation. The result is a hiring tool that eliminates ambiguity, aligns every stakeholder around a shared definition of success, and gives both recruiters and candidates a clear picture of what the role truly demands.
Key team members provide insights on role expectations, team dynamics, and organizational goals.
Existing descriptions are reviewed and aligned with current market standards and best practices.

A poorly defined role leads to poorly matched candidates. When stakeholders disagree on what they are looking for, searches drag on, good candidates are passed over, and the eventual hire often underperforms because expectations were never aligned in the first place. A well-built Position Profile solves this problem before the search even begins. It creates a single source of truth that guides sourcing, screening, interviewing, and final selection. When engaged for a retained or engaged search, TCG frequently builds a Position Profile as the foundation of the entire process. It is also available as a standalone service for organizations that want to strengthen their internal hiring capabilities. Whether you are creating a brand new role, redefining an existing one, or simply struggling to attract the right caliber of candidates, a strategic Position Profile ensures every decision from that point forward is grounded in clarity and purpose.
