Don’t See a Personality Trait You Want to Measure?

Often times clients are looking to measure candidate’s against a specific personality trait or company value. Our team of workplace psychologists will partner with you to define those, build an assessment that measures them and provide a report back that rates each candidate against those traits or values using your company’s language, not ours, which improves hiring manager adoption.

The Compass Candidate Experience is:

Short

Compass only measures qualities that matter most to you, rather than every aspect of a candidate. Our assessments are significantly shorter than our competitors, improving the overall experience.

INCLUSIVE

Compass’ customizable language ensures that traditionally marginalized groups feel welcomed and included, leading to less funnel abandonment, higher completion rates and better brand perception.

OPTIMIZED

You can’t get candidate insights if you don’t have completions. Compass was developed to ensure the highest completion rate, so you never have to decide between quality and quantity of candidates.

Compass Reporting

Compass reports are highly visual, with intuitive dashboards that help you quickly see whether a candidate is a fit based on their overall score, as well as high-level scores on specific qualities and skills alongside the ideal ranking.

Compass reports can also include personalized Interview Guides with the addition of HighMatch Interview, which help hiring managers have more consistent, informed interviews.
