The Big 5 Model

The Big 5 Personality Traits, also known as the Five-Factor Model, is one of the most widely accepted and researched models in psychology for understanding personality. Talent Tells uses this model to help you identify the personality traits that will thrive in your organization and in the specific role you are hiring for.

• Openness to Experience: Creativity and willingness to embrace new ideas.
• Conscientiousness: Reliability and attention to detail.
• Extraversion: Sociability and energy in interpersonal interactions.
• Agreeableness: Cooperation and warmth in social settings.
• Neuroticism: Emotional stability and resilience under pressure.

Our AI helps you narrow down which of these traits are most important for the role, ensuring you hire candidates who are not only qualified but also a great fit for your company’s culture.

Aligning Core Values

We use Shalom Schwartz’s Value Theory to help you identify and communicate the core values that define your organization. Schwartz’s framework categorizes values into ten broad types that reflect universal human motivations. By guiding you through a process of choosing between value pairs, Talent Tells identifies the values that are most important for your organization and aligns them with candidates who share those same priorities.

• Self-Direction: Independence and creativity.
• Stimulation: Excitement and novelty.
• Hedonism: Pleasure and personal enjoyment.
• Achievement: Success and competence.
• Power: Influence and authority.
• Security: Safety and stability.
• Conformity: Social order and respect for rules.
• Tradition: Respect for customs and cultural heritage.
• Benevolence: Concern for the welfare of others.
• Universalism: Tolerance and understanding of all people.

Our AI helps you narrow down which of these traits are most important for the role, ensuring you hire candidates who are not only qualified but also a great fit for your company’s culture.

Grit and Problem-Solving Ability

Grit, defined as perseverance and passion for long-term goals, has been shown to be a key predictor of success. At Talent Tells, we use advanced AI to evaluate a candidate’s GRIT during interviews, helping you assess their ability to stick with challenging tasks and overcome obstacles.

Additionally, our AI analyzes candidates’ responses to interview questions to evaluate their problem-solving approach. By understanding how candidates tackle complex problems, you gain deeper insights into their critical thinking and adaptability.
