Cultural & Behavioural Assessment

Hire for fit,
not for the
interview performance.

A disguised, AI-powered pre-hire assessment - custom-built around your culture. It measures what candidates actually value, not what they’ve learned to say.

of mis-hires are due to cultural misalignment - not skill gaps

01 - THE PROBLEM

Interviews don’t predict culture. They reward performance.

Every HR leader knows the feeling: the candidate looked perfect on paper, aced the interview, and quit in six months. The problem isn’t skill. It’s fit.

“

Personality tests are generic. Reference checks are polite. Interviews are performances. None of them tell you whether this person will still be here - and thriving - eighteen months from now.

02 - OUR APPROACH

Three layers. One true signal.

Each layer is designed so candidates cannot identify what’s being measured - or which answer scores highest. You get signal, not rehearsal.

01
Layer One

Forced-Choice Blocks

Four equally desirable statements. Candidates pick most and least like them. Each statement maps to a hidden cultural dimension - so there’s no “right” answer to game.

Sample Block · Pick most & least like you
Which of these feels most like you at work?
  • A I get energised solving problems no one has solved before.
  • B I find satisfaction when my work improves someone’s livelihood.
  • C I need complete data before making an important call.
  • D I step in to help even when it’s outside my role.
02
Layer Two

Situational Judgment

Realistic workplace scenarios - drawn from your actual business context. Four or five possible responses to rank. No obviously right answer. The ideal ranking depends entirely on your culture.

Scenario · Rank responses 1–4
A key supplier fails to deliver on a rush deadline. Your response?
  • 1 Escalate through formal channels and document the breach.
  • 2 Drive to the supplier’s site and resolve it in person.
  • 3 Find a local workaround and ship on time.
  • 4 Bring the team together and brainstorm options.
03
Layer Three

Implicit Value Pairs

Quick either-or choices under a soft time pressure. Prevents overthinking. Reveals the candidate’s natural value hierarchy before they can strategise.

03 - HOW IT WORKS

From your culture to a live assessment - in days, not months.

A guided four-step pipeline, co-piloted by AI at every stage. Your HR team stays in control - AI just removes the grunt work.

STEP 01

Discover Dimensions

Describe your organisation, mission, leadership priorities, and team traits. The platform generates your 6–8 cultural dimensions - the real ones that separate thrivers from leavers.

AI-Generated Editable Weighted
STEP 02

Anchor Behaviours

For each dimension, define high / medium / low behavioural anchors. These become the scoring rubric - what does “high mission alignment” actually look like in a Monday-morning?

AI-Assisted HIGH / MED / LOW
STEP 03

Design Questions

Generate the full question bank - 15 forced-choice blocks, 8 situational scenarios, 25 value pairs - all mapped to dimensions, all balanced for dimension coverage, all disguised.

AI-Generated Auto-Balanced
STEP 04

Deploy & Score

Send token-based candidate links. Scores roll up automatically across the three layers. Get dimension-level breakdowns, consistency flags, and side-by-side comparisons.

Token Links Auto-Scored Comparable
04 - CAPABILITIES

Everything HR needs. Nothing candidates can game.

A complete assessment operating system - from designing the framework, to running deployments, to surfacing the insight that actually drives the hire/no-hire call.

AI-Powered Dimension Discovery

Feed the platform your org context - it proposes the cultural dimensions specific to you. Edit, re-weight, approve.

Three-Layer Question Engine

Forced-choice, situational judgment, and value pairs - auto-generated, auto-balanced across dimensions.

Disguised by Design

No right answers. No leading language. Candidates can’t reverse-engineer the scoring model.

Pipeline Locking & Versioning

Lock dimensions before moving to behaviours. Lock questions before deployment. Full audit trail.

Token-Based Candidate Links

Secure, single-use candidate URLs. No logins needed. Mobile-friendly 20-minute experience.

Dimension-Level Scoring

Per-dimension scores across all three question types, plus a weighted overall cultural fit index.

Candidate Comparison

Rank and compare multiple candidates side-by-side on the same deployment. See where each one shines — or doesn’t.

Consistency & Gaming Flags

Automatic flags for response inconsistency, rushed completion, or socially-desirable answering patterns.

Continuous Calibration

Feed back hire outcomes over time. The model refines which dimensions truly predict success at your firm.

05 - WHY IT WORKS

Built on what decades of I-O psychology proved - finally usable.

The methodology isn’t new. What’s new is making it take twenty minutes to take, two days to build, and zero effort to score.
— GroSum Design Principle
06 - WHAT YOU GET

Deliverables your hiring team will actually use.

This isn’t a report that sits in a drawer. It’s a decision tool your interviewers open before every final-round call.

01

A bespoke cultural framework

6–8 dimensions unique to your org, each with high / medium / low behavioural anchors. Yours to keep, update, and reuse.

02

A complete, ready-to-run question bank

15 forced-choice blocks, 8 situational scenarios, 25 value pairs - all mapped, balanced, and disguised.

03

A candidate-facing 20-minute assessment

Mobile-friendly, token-based, fully branded. Respects your candidates’ time. No login walls, no friction.

04

Per-candidate reports

Dimension-level scores, consistency flags, an overall cultural fit index, and narrative interpretation.

05

Side-by-side comparisons

Rank shortlisted candidates on every dimension. See exactly where each one aligns - or doesn’t.

06

Continuous calibration

Feed post-hire performance data back. The model sharpens. Your predictions improve with every cohort.

07 - SAMPLE OUTPUT

A sample candidate report - at a glance.

Every candidate gets a report like this. Every hiring manager gets the answer to one question: “Will they thrive here?”
