That's what the U.S. Department of Labor says a bad $80K hire actually costs you. Not including the sleepless nights, the team drama, or the 6 months you'll never get back.
PRISM-7 shows you which candidates will actually fit your team—before you make an offer you'll regret. 15 minutes. No subscriptions. Science you can trust.
Here's the uncomfortable truth: most hiring failures have nothing to do with skills. The candidate interviewed great. Their resume was impressive. So why are they gone in 8 months?
The U.S. Department of Labor's estimate for what a bad hire costs—minimum. For senior roles? Try 50-200% of salary. That's real money you're lighting on fire.

Leadership IQ studied 20,000 new hires over 3 years. Nearly 9 in 10 failures had nothing to do with technical ability. They just didn't mesh with the team or the role.

The performance reviews. The coaching sessions. The awkward conversations. The HR meetings. The search for their replacement. Time that should've gone to growing your business.

See how a new hire would change your team's dynamics. Identify gaps, avoid redundancy, maximize collaboration.
Automatically rank your entire candidate pool. Spend time on the top 10%, not screening the bottom 90%.
Most hiring assessments are horoscopes dressed up in corporate branding. PRISM-7 is built on the actual science—the kind published in peer-reviewed journals, not marketing decks.
HEXACO personality dimensions measured (the academic gold standard)
Questions designed to resist faking and social desirability bias
Average completion time—candidates actually finish it
Adverse impact on protected classes (EEOC compliant)
The Science Behind It
Schmidt & Hunter's landmark meta-analysis of 85 years of hiring research found that structured assessments significantly outperform unstructured interviews in predicting job performance. The HEXACO model we use has been validated in hundreds of peer-reviewed studies across cultures.

Most hiring tests use outdated models or aren't designed for workplace assessment. PRISM-7 is built on HEXACO—the most current personality framework in academic research—and specifically designed to identify job-relevant traits like conscientiousness, agreeableness, and emotional stability.
12-18 minutes. It's designed to be engaging (not tedious), works on any device, and doesn't require scheduling or supervision. Candidates can complete it whenever works for them.
Yes. PRISM-7 assesses personality traits, not protected characteristics. The HEXACO model has been extensively studied for adverse impact and shows no discrimination against protected classes. We provide documentation for your records.
We've built in multiple validity checks that flag inconsistent responding and social desirability bias. You'll see a 'validity score' with each candidate's results. That said, no assessment is cheat-proof—use it as one data point alongside interviews.
The assessment provides data, not a hiring decision. A low fit score might mean the candidate needs more support in certain areas, or that the role requirements need adjustment. Use it to have better conversations, not as an automatic filter.
You can keep doing what you've been doing—resumes, interviews, references, and hope for the best.
Or you can spend 5 minutes setting up PRISM-7 and actually know who you're bringing onto your team.
