What actually happens
A Big Five (OCEAN) inventory that turns self-report answers into five validated trait scores with percentiles and role fit notes.

Short, balanced statement sets
Candidates rate everyday statements on a five-point scale, with reversed items mixed in to catch straight-lining.

Answers roll into five validated traits
Scoring is normed against a working-population sample, so a 70th percentile means something outside your own applicant pool.

Before you ask.
Percentile scores on Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness and Emotional Stability, plus facet-level detail and role-relevant behavioral notes.
Forced-choice items and consistency checks make impression management visible, and the report flags a response pattern that looks socially desirable.
No, and the report is written to prevent that. It's a structured input for the interview, not a pass or fail.
Yes. Items are built with I/O psychologists, checked for reliability (Cronbach's alpha above 0.80 on core scales), and reviewed for adverse impact. Norms are refreshed against a working-population sample.
Yes for the major platforms Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, SmartRecruiters, iCIMS, Ashby and others through native sync or API. Anything custom is handled with a webhook or scheduled sync.
