Understand how candidates think, work, and perform — before you hire them. Science-backed talent intelligence that predicts top performers and reduces costly turnover.
A behavioral assessment identifies the core traits that shape how someone performs at work. These traits influence how individuals make decisions, communicate, stay motivated, respond to stress, and collaborate within a team.
Understanding these patterns gives hiring teams a consistent, objective lens for evaluating candidates beyond resumes and interviews — enabling more accurate, bias‑reduced, and repeatable hiring decisions.
Most personality tests describe people. SmoothHiring goes further by measuring behavioral traits that help predict how someone will perform at work.
Our behavioral assessment measures 16 scientifically validated traits that reveal how candidates think, collaborate, lead, manage themselves, and approach their work. These traits provide a more job-relevant and predictive understanding of workplace behavior.
More accurate than personality tests — personality tests describe people; psychometrics help predict how they will behave at work.
More job-relevant than generic SJTs — situational tests measure reactions to scenarios; psychometric traits measure the underlying behavioral tendencies that drive those reactions.
