5 Scales Behind the Chart

Autonomy

Comfort making independent decisions vs. preferring guidance and check-ins.

Social Ability

Energized by people and interaction vs. focused on tasks and systems.

Pace

Fast-moving urgency vs. steady, methodical rhythm.

Conformity

Preference for structure, rules, and precision vs. flexibility.

Energy Units

Natural stamina for sustained effort.

Natural vs. adjusted

Two views of the same person

The survey captures two views of the same person: how they’re naturally wired, and how they’re adjusting to their current role. The gap between the two helps you understand energy, stress points, and the support they may need.

A Different Layer of Candidate Insight

Culture Index is a behavioral assessment tool that provides insight into an individual’s natural work-related behavioral tendencies.

Tempo Matching

Measures natural energy and urgency. We match fast-movers to high-volume roles and steady professionals to methodical workflows.

Communication Tendencies

Reveals how candidates share information. We align direct communicators with assertive roles and empathetic listeners with client-facing tasks.

Independence

Assesses need for autonomy vs. support. We distinguish self-directed candidates from those who thrive in structured, team-oriented frameworks.

Structure

Evaluates preference for routine vs. flexibility. We place detail-oriented pros in compliance-heavy roles and adaptable thinkers in dynamic positions.

Problem-Solving Approach

Identifies reliance on data/logic vs. intuition. This ensures their decision-making style complements your agency’s operational culture.

Work Environment Preferences

Maps conditions where candidates perform best. We ensure the role’s reality—remote, hybrid, or high-pressure—matches their natural comfort zone.

Culture Index does not replace experience, skills, interviews, or human judgment.
It adds another layer of insight to the decision-making process.

From Candidate to Fit

Culture Index is one input inside a larger, human-led evaluation process.

Understand the Role

What does the client actually need?

Define the Requirements

What skills, responsibilities, and working environment does the role require?

Assess the Candidate

Culture Index provides additional insight into behavioral tendencies.

Evaluate the Whole Candidate

Combine behavioral insight with experience, skills, interviews, and other screening factors.

Match & Prepare

Align the candidate with the role and prepare them through ABS training and support.

Culture Index is not the decision. It’s part of a bigger decision.

The industry hires on instinct. We hire on analytics.
