A performance profile system is provided. The performance profile system may embody a method for creating a performance profile by surveying relevant performance references. The performance profile system may include receiving at least one performance category of the job-seeker, wherein each performance category is associated with at least one performance competency question. The performance profile system may prompt the job-seeker to identify at least one reference associated with the performance categories selected, wherein the job-seeker provides referential information associated with each reference. The performance profile system may then generate a referral questionnaire comprising the at least one performance competency question for each selected performance category and then transmit the referral questionnaire to the at least one reference using at least in part the referential information. After receiving a response from at least one reference part to the referral questionnaire, the performance profile system may create an accessible report incorporating at least the performance competency questions, the responses and other details of the job-seeker.
