Talentful launches world's first personality-based jobseeker platform

- Discover your work personality style and be matched to apply for your perfect job by taking Talentful’s ‘Insightful’ culture matching quiz here -

Talentful today launches theworld’s first platform which links jobseekers to their best-matched roles on the job market based on their personality type.

With 85% of the global workforce described as “emotionally disconnected from the workplace”*, Talentful believes there’s a better way for people to find jobs and get more fulfilment from their career.

That’s why they’re on a mission to unleash human potential and the new culture matching platform was born out of the belief that even the most brilliant people will only hit their full potential when surrounded by a balanced and supportive team.

Talentful has perfected the practice of building great teams after working with hundreds of the world’s most innovative companies to help them build game-changing teams, including WeWork, King and Starling Bank.

Now, Talentful launches its service directly to jobseekers with the ‘Insightful’ culture matching platform, which was created by combining cutting-edge technology with expert insights from psychometric experts and Talentful’s experience of building the best teams in the world.

The tailored questions algorithmically calculate the jobseeker’s personality type, to give one of eight personality archetypes**:

• The Leader
• The Innovator
• The Team Player
• The Adaptable One
• The Executor
• The Analyst
• The Influencer
• The Entrepreneur

Then, it connects you to the real positions on the job market based on your results and shows the best-matched jobs available to apply for, giving a personalised culture fit score out of 100 for each position.

So, whether you’ll be taking charge as The Leader (like Winston Churchill), focused and calm as The Executor(like Amazon’s Jeff Bezos), or the ideas person as The Entrepreneur(like Richard Branson), you’ll be walking into your new job confident that you’ll be a perfect match for your new team!

Phil Blaydes, Talentful founder and co-CEO, said: “Over the last few years Talentful has helped some of the best tech companies in the world build great teams, and we’ll still continue to do that.

But now we’re also focused on giving power back to the jobseekers, giving them the best chance for them to find their ideal team by matching their unique personality with the perfect role. Our mission at Talentful is to unleash human potential and we believe the new culture matching platform is an exciting step to help people enjoy work and get more fulfilment from their careers.”
