At first, we weren’t quite sure. But once we understood the models behind the signals Traitwise gives us about applicants, we realized they’re way more relevant than anything you get from an interview or a résumé scan. Even better: those signals spark genuinely meaningful conversations—because you’re suddenly talking about things that actually matter. When we ran the assessment on our own team, it led to engaging discussions, fresh insights, and a few lightbulb moments—like why certain colleagues felt stuck, and how to shift them into roles where they’d thrive. Fantastic product. Highly recommended.

The assessments give us a new, objective view of our applicants and ensure that we can immediately focus on the candidates who fit the position. This saves us an incredible amount of manual sifting through resumes in recruiting and quickly gains us valuable time. I find the insights from the personality section particularly helpful, as they help us break the ice in interviews or directly follow up on critical points.
