Background

The Bridge is not only a tool allowing and easy automated digital interview and data processing, reducing the hiring time and saving money, it can also help increase diversity amongst candidates by removing subconscious bias.

Our digital assessment invites candidates to answer open questions using their natural language. There is no right or wrong answer. Over 30 years of research shows language provides true insights into personality and behaviour. Unlike traditional assessment methods, language cannot be manipulated as it is formed in our subconscious. To detect patterns of success, our platform analyses multiple layers of language such as syntax, word choice, and vocabulary. Through asking 3, simple, open ended questions we can create a candidate report that has scores on five personality traits (Big Five) and 6 six global competencies (drives). Without completing any test or assessments.

The Big Five

The Big 5 personality traits (also known as OCEAN) represent a continuum that groups individuals by specific features of their personality. The main categories are Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness and Neuroticism. High scores in a particular category indicate that an individual is significantly aligned with the trait, while low scores indicate the opposite.

The Six Drives

The scores on the Six Drive make it possible to understand what is driving a person’s behaviour, whether they are driven by the need for achievement and self-actualization, domination, reward, avoidance of risk or by engaging in risk-seeking behaviour.
