How We Can Help

Diversity

Improve Diversity and Inclusion

Women account for only 25% of the U.S. tech workforce but 50% of the national population. This underrepresentation extends to other historically excluded groups, including Black and Latinx workers, who together comprise only 15% of the tech workforce but 30% of the population. Incorporating personality into your talent strategies can help build and retain a diverse workforce, plus create lasting cultural change so employees are included and heard.

Make Decisions with Data

With the time to hire in tech as high as 51 days, maintaining an efficient talent acquisition process is critical to being competitive in a small candidate pool. But efficiency isn’t about haste — it’s about data. With the world’s largest database of personality research, we can tell you what it takes to succeed in any job role. Let us crunch the numbers so you can select people who are not only equipped to do the work you need today but ready to reskill tomorrow.

Retain

Improve Employee Retention

Median tenure at some of the world’s largest tech companies is only one year. The predominant reasons people quit so quickly? Salary dissatisfaction and a lack of career development opportunities. The solution for retaining your best employees is easily decipherable: help them cultivate strategic self-awareness to work toward their goals. In the process, you’ll see greater organizational productivity and develop a stronger succession pipeline.
