Great teams start with alignment.
15 traits. 8 personas. One smarter way to hire. Our proprietary behavioral assessment profiles every candidate for fit and performance before they join your team — so you stop guessing and start hiring with confidence.
Included free with every client we onboard. It's not a feature — it's how we work.
Résumés show experience. Interviews show personality. Neither shows how someone will actually think, lead, and collaborate on your team — or how they'll perform when the work gets hard. Our assessment does, and it's how we reduce costly mismatches before they happen.
15 traits → 8 personas
A word-based exercise maps each candidate across 15 behavioral dimensions and matches them to one of eight predictive workplace personas — not generic labels, but a picture of how they'll work with your team.
Performance under pressure
Twenty-four real workplace situations reveal how someone performs when things get complex, unclear, or difficult — scored across four pillars into one overall RESOLVE score. It's about action, not just preference.
From a quick exercise to a hiring decision you trust
Word-based reflection
The candidate chooses 3 of 12 words that best describe them across 15 behavioral categories — quick, but revealing.
Behavioral mapping
Those choices place them on 15 spectrums (Fast-Paced ⇄ Steady, Strategic ⇄ Tactical, and more) to build a unique 15-dimension profile.
Persona match
The profile maps to one of 8 workplace personas — a predictive picture of how they think, lead, and collaborate.
Resolve under pressure
24 real workplace situations, each scored 1–5, produce a score across the four Resolve pillars and one overall RESOLVE score — how they actually perform, not just how they prefer to work.

Assessment — common questions
What is the ADBM assessment?+
A proprietary two-part behavioral assessment — a 15-trait, 8-persona personality profile plus the Resolve situational assessment — that we run on candidates before they join your team, so you hire for fit and performance, not just résumé.
How is this different from a personality test?+
The personality half maps how someone prefers to work; the Resolve half measures how they actually perform when things get complex, unclear, or difficult. It is about action and outcomes, not just traits.
What do we receive?+
A clear, role-aligned report: the persona overview, the 15-dimension behavioral map, team-fit and communication guidance, and Resolve scores across four pillars plus an overall RESOLVE score.
How much does it cost?+
It is included for every client we onboard at no additional cost. It is not an add-on — it is part of how we build teams.
