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.

traditional interviews reliably predict fit - candidates tell you what you want to hear

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?”
