Step 3 Connect

When everyone on the shortlist fits, Connect tells you who is most likely to thrive.

Behavioural fit gets you the shortlist. Environmental fit picks the hire. Connect measures engagement drivers and cultural preferences — the factors that determine whether a strong candidate stays strong once they're in the role.

What It Measures

Fit isn't just behaviour. It's also environment.

Match tells you who has the right behavioural profile. Connect tells you whose drivers, preferences, and working style are the closest match to the role's actual environment. Both matter. They answer different questions.

Match answers

"Do they have the right behaviours?"

Ranked FIT Score against five priority behaviours. Use Match to build the shortlist.

Answers "can they do the job?" — run this first
Connect answers

"Will they most likely thrive here?"

Engagement drivers, working style preferences, and cultural alignment. Use Connect to choose between the shortlist.

Answers "will they stay?" — run this on the shortlist
How It Works

Run Match first. Then Connect on the shortlist.

Connect is not a standalone assessment — it's a tie-breaker. Run it once you have a shortlist of behaviourally strong candidates and need to distinguish between them.

~10-minute questionnaire. Shorter than the Personality Questionnaire, focused on engagement drivers and working style.
Role environment profile. You describe the team, culture, and working style — Connect matches each candidate against it.
Side-by-side comparison. See how your shortlisted candidates stack up on every environmental dimension.
Onboarding intelligence. The Connect report also tells you how to manage the hire you make — what drives them, what doesn't.
Connected to Drivers. Connect and Drivers use the same 14-area model — deliberately. Connect asks what matters to the individual at the point of hire. Drivers, run at six months, asks how well those same areas are being met. The model runs as a designed thread through the employment lifecycle.

The shortlist tie-breaker.

Connect is most powerful when you already have a shortlist from Match. Start with Match — add Connect when the scores are close.
