Research preview — not for employment decisions. The instrument is built and the scoring works, but its validation study has not been run yet, so scores have no reference sample to be interpreted against. Explore it, take the sample, tell us what you think — but do not use it to screen candidates.

Stop guessing.
Start knowing.

A pre-employment platform that observes what candidates actually do — not just what they say. AI-scored behavioral simulation + psychometric assessment in one.

Free, no signup, about 5 minutes. Paid plans are not currently for sale.

AI Behavioral Narrative
Demonstrated strong triage instincts — prioritized the urgent supplier issue and connected it with the maintenance update. Coaching approach with team members rather than directive.

Bad hires cost $240,000. You can't spot them in interviews.

The signals that predict real-world performance are invisible to traditional hiring methods.

81%

The Interview Problem

of hires who fail in the first year passed the interview with flying colors. Interviews measure charisma, not capability.

0.45 SD

The Assessment Problem

higher conscientiousness scores from real job applicants than from non-applicants on traditional personality tests (Birkeland et al., 2006). Candidates know which answers look good — and they pick them.

45%

The Resume Problem

of candidates embellish their qualifications. Paper credentials don't predict who will figure it out on day one.

Three layers of signal. One clear answer.

HireDex combines methods that are individually strong and collectively unbeatable.

Situational Judgment

Real workplace scenarios with no obvious "right answer." Measures how candidates think when the path isn't clear.

Behavioral Simulation

A timed, interactive work-sample test. Candidates handle a messy inbox — we watch what they actually do. AI scores their behavior.

Faking-Resistant Design

Forced-choice pairs matched on social desirability. Meta-analytic evidence puts score inflation at d = 0.06 for forced-choice formats, against d = 0.45 for single-stimulus measures among real applicants.

Live results in under an hour.

🔬 Science

  • Grounded in Proactive Personality Scale research (Bateman & Crant, 1993)
  • Forced-choice format per Thurstonian IRT model (Brown & Maydeu-Olivares, 2011)
  • Forced-choice score inflation of d = 0.06 in high-stakes settings (Cao & Drasgow, 2019, Journal of Applied Psychology, 104(11), 1347–1368), compared with d = 0.45 for conscientiousness and d = 0.44 for emotional stability on single-stimulus measures among real applicants (Birkeland et al., 2006)
  • Behavioral simulation based on work-sample methodology
  • Norms in development. No reference sample has been collected yet; sample size and reliability coefficients will be published in the technical manual before scores are offered for selection use
  • AI scoring calibrated against expert human raters

Indicative pricing. Not currently for sale.

This is where pricing will land once the platform leaves research preview.

Paid plans are disabled. HireDex will not be sold as a selection tool until its validation study is complete and the technical manual — sample size, reliability, and adverse-impact analysis — is published. If you want to be told when that happens, or you’d like to take part in the validation study, get in touch.
