DISC Profiling for Employers

Your people are your greatest asset but how well do you really understand how they communicate, make decisions, and work under pressure?

At Parmar Staffing, we use DISC Profiling to help employers build stronger teams, improve communication, and make confident, data led hiring decisions.

What Is DISC Profiling?

DISC is a behavioural model developed by psychologist William Moulton Marston in the 1920s.
It categorises how people naturally behave and communicate into four main styles:

  • Dominance (D) – Direct, decisive and results-driven.

  • Influence (I) – Energetic, persuasive and people-focused.

  • Steadiness (S) – Patient, supportive and consistent.

  • Compliance (C) – Analytical, organised and detail-oriented.

Just like three primary colours can create every shade, these four styles combine to form every behavioural blend in your team.

Why DISC Matters for Employers

Understanding your team’s DISC profiles helps you:

  • Build balanced, complementary teams

  • Improve communication and reduce conflict

  • Support development and motivation

  • Make better hiring and promotion decisions

When you know what drives people, you can align roles, leadership styles and responsibilities to get the best from your team.

Using DISC to Review Your Team

DISC isn’t just for recruitment it’s a powerful way to review your current team structure.

For example:

  • A salesperson with a naturally Steady personality may benefit from confidence or assertiveness training.

  • A High C personality may excel in analytical roles such as finance or compliance.

These insights help ensure everyone is in the right role for their strengths improving performance and retention.

Using DISC in Recruitment

Including DISC profiling in your recruitment process helps you make more informed, confident hiring decisions.

It allows you to:

  • Identify behavioural strengths early

  • Avoid culture mismatches

  • Benchmark applicants against your best performing team members

  • Build teams that work together naturally

You can use DISC before final interviews to tailor your questions or confirm how well a candidate fits into your existing team dynamic.

We’ll review the results with you, helping you interpret how each candidate’s profile fits your team’s communication style and business goals.

Pricing for Standalone DISC Tests

If you’d like to use DISC assessments outside of recruitment, the cost is £65 + VAT per person.

  • Existing team development

  • Leadership programmes

  • Internal promotion decisions

You don’t have to use Parmar Staffing for recruitment to access DISC testing, it’s available as a standalone service.

What About Free DISC Tests?

Free DISC tests online may offer a quick overview, but they often lack the accuracy and depth required for business use.
Our professional reports provide actionable insights, not just general summaries so you can make decisions that genuinely improve performance.

Combine DISC with Staff Surveys

For a complete understanding of your team, we recommend pairing DISC profiling with Staff Feedback Surveys.

  • DISC reveals how people behave

  • Surveys reveal how people feel

Together, they provide the clarity to improve retention, engagement and overall culture.
