The contracting company is also supported in the processes of evaluating the position, identifying the right people and resolving questions that may arise.

What is the Profiling Method?
The profiling method is a system developed by Lantegi Batuak to find which job is best suited to a particular person or which individual is best suited to a specific job. It also helps to know which aspects a person ought to improve in order to access a particular job.
The profiling method thus helps to create:
• the profile of the person to evaluate their abilities
• the profile of the job to evaluate the demands of the task
That is to say, it is used to make an assessment of the job, selection the personnel, facilitate the match between the person and the job, and draw up individual training plans.

Individualised support plans are made for people with mental disabilities, traumatic brain injury and mental illnesses.
These plans gather all the support regimes that the person needs for their full integration into employment and society, and thus improve their quality of life. Lantegi Batuak offers this support and subsequent monitoring to assess the fulfillment of objectives and the person’s satisfaction.
