HOW TO CREATE A COMPANY PROFILE: TIPS & TRICKS
​
Before we answer that question, let’s first understand “What is a company profile?”
A company profile or a corporate profile is the formal description of your business that is written, designed and presented in a manner that can explain to the reader important information about your company. Just as you have a social profile on the social media platforms, the organization profile is more focused on a formal presentation of your company whether it is on a website or in the form of a document or even in the form of a video. It is made to present information like your products, services, vision, mission, key personnel, address, contact info, what the company does, how it does that, company’s growth since inception and much more.
Your corporate profile is the foremost thing that people are keen to see to make their first impression of how good or bad your company is. The 'about us' section on most websites or your company’s page on Facebook or LinkedIn or Twitter etc. tries to explain this in detail. Even though this profile is meant to cover all the important aspects of the business, it should be formed creatively. When on one hand, too much information can always turn things boring, a short profile with too little info can leave the reader or viewer disengaged. Quite a few companies don’t pay enough attention to such an important part of their public image, and some don't find it necessary. The importance of a business profile can’t be stressed enough.
Company Profile: How to Create One?
Think of it as your company’s resume. Capture all the crucial information about your company like a proper introduction, history, products, services, strengths, vision, mission, values. You can use some infographics, graphs, charts to present data in an easy to understand format. Framing a Company profile can be a difficult task regardless of how you look at it. One way could be to go overboard by writing pages and pages of text and adding anything and everything that comes to your mind. The better way, though, is to take enough time to plan and visualize what should be covered, how it should be covered, the length of the document you want and the kind of visual elements you should use. Make notes and discuss the strategy with someone you can trust. Visualize it from the perspective of your readers which can often be your clients.
​
Now, let’s go step by step as to what forms an integral part of your company profile.
​
​
1. INTRODUCTION - Begin your company profile with an intro to your firm. Make sure the information provided in the introduction is up to date. Important points that are to be presented in it-
· Company name
· Established date
· Director/s or Partners or Proprietor
· Other important personnel
· Company Vision (Vision Statement)
· Company Mission
· Company Culture
· History
2. INFORMATION ABOUT THE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES - This section is very important as it needs to intrigue and connect with your client and make them need to peruse on. This section clarifies to your potential clients that you offer products and services that they are looking for. If you miss any of these important points there are high chances of your profile to turn them off and you will probably lose them before they even meet you. Below listed points will be handy when you start writing this section (maybe different depending on your business type. Some may not apply to your corporate profile):
· Description of your product/service
· Industry information
3. HIGHLIGHTS, ACHIEVEMENTS, AWARDS - It’s always great to highlight your achievements, as it’s the milestones that you have achieved with your hard work and it is also the reward of your status today in the industry. Noted below are some points that you should never forget to add to your corporate profile.
· Awards
· Accolades
· Certificates
· Honours
· Special programs and projects
· News or media recognition
​
4. CONTACT INFORMATION - Make sure your contact info like your official email, phone number, fax, physical address etc. is captured clearly as this is how any outsider can reach out to you regarding connecting with you professionally or for joining your team.

​
3. Mention client testimonials - Reviews are what your clients or the people who have interacted with your business think about your company. Adding them will make your profile stronger in terms of building trust. It is an important aspect to have.
4. Some trivia can also help strike a chord with the reader like how you came up with your venture's name, how you decided to start the business and what inspired you and so on. People love getting internal impressions. It resembles being welcomed in the company.
​
5. How you do what you do is significant at times if you have an interesting process you are comfortable sharing with the world. Here is the place where your audience can check whether what you offer and the qualities you pronounce have a match, as well.

What’s the difference between a CV and a resume?A CV (Curriculum Vitæ) is, relatively, a more detailed document when compared with a resume. While the resume is a more concise document essentially capturing your career, education and some basic info, the CV, which can run into two or more pages, would generally list more detail about you, like - your accomplishments, awards, achievements, publications and even a much greater detail about the responsibilities handled in your previous roles. The usage of the terms CV and Resume, however varies from one country to another. While these terms are used interchangeably in India, Australia and South Africa, CV is used mostly in the UK and New Zealand. In the US and Canada, resume is the first choice.
-
What’s the difference between a CV and a Cover letter?While your CV is intended to provide the hiring manager with the details of your past employment, education, achievements, awards and accomplishments, the cover letter is intended to explain to the hiring manager why you are a great fit for the role they are hiring for. In other words, the CV details the facts about you while the cover letter compliments the CV by persuading the hiring manager that you are not only qualified for the job but also a great fit for it.
-
What’s the difference between Text CVs, Visual CVs and Infographic CVs?"As the name suggests, a Text resume / CV would essentially be textual in nature. On the other hand the Visual and infographic CVs essentially have a visual component to it in the form of charts, graphs, timelines and more.
-
Do the recruiters prefer Text CVs over Visual / Infographic CVs?While both have their own benefits, the recruiters find the visual / infographic CVs more easily readable as they are able to capture the most important information / highlights in much less time. The text resumes, on the other hand, are considered more ATS (Applicant tracking system) friendly. But, that doesn’t mean the visual resumes are not ATS friendly. Both, visual and text resumes have their own pros and cons. You should choose which one is right for you depending on your designation, role, industry, function and similar factors. Talk to our experts to find out which one is best for you.
-
What is an ATS or Applicant Tracking System?As the recruiters around the world are having to deal with heaps of resumes everyday, an ATS (Applicant Tracking System) helps them automate a lot of recurring activities. It helps them with conducting a preliminary analysis of a candidate’s profile, ranking candidates, aggregation of data, automating responses, interview reminders and alerts and a lot more.
