Timing is Key: Why Well-Maintained Employee Profiles Are Crucial

Imagine this scenario: A company is looking for a developer for an IT project and reaches out to an IT consulting firm. Since the project is with an Italian automotive manufacturer, not only technical skills are required, but also Italian language proficiency and intercultural competence. The search for a suitable expert begins at the IT consulting firm. What they don’t know is that Laura K. is the perfect candidate - however, while her last project was with an Italian insurance company, she hasn’t updated her language skills in her profile. By the time the sales team gathers all the necessary information, it’s too late: The competition has already submitted an offer - and secured the project.
This example illustrates how outdated or incomplete employee profiles can result in lost revenue. The key question is: How can companies avoid this scenario?
The Speed Factor: Who Delivers Fast, Wins
In many cases, the success of a project depends on the response time of the service provider. The ability to quickly present a complete and professional profile provides a clear advantage. Clients expect precise information about available experts - without the need for long follow-ups or missing documents. Companies that rely on outdated or incomplete profiles risk missing valuable opportunities.
Challenges in Profile Management
So, why are current profiles often a challenge in practice?
- Manual Updates are Time-Consuming and Error-Prone: Employees often need to update their profiles themselves, which tends to be overlooked in the daily workflow.
- Profiles are Dispersed Across Various Systems: Information is stored across CRM systems, Excel spreadsheets, or internal documents, making it difficult to compile quickly.
- Lack of an Overview of Skills and Availability: Who is available for which project at what time? Without a centralized and up-to-date database, this information often remains unclear.
