The Most Powerful

Talent Assessment and Analysis Tool

We understand the demands on HR professionals to support their organizations in hiring top talent. Socrates is the most powerful assessment and analysis tool for those wanting to identify the very best candidates for external hires and internal promotions.

Our powerful analytics engine answers the questions that matter:

How high are our selection standards?
Are the candidates we’re hiring today stronger than our current best in role?
Is our selection process biased against any minority group?
Are we making progress in identifying and selecting more Talented and diverse individuals for key roles?
How accurate were our performance predictions for new hires?
What was the business impact of our hiring decisions?
How well could we be performing if we raised our selection standards?

What Are Talents?

The term “talent” is far too generally used as a hiring characteristic. To us it has a limited, specific and impactful definition – talents are naturally occurring thoughts, feelings and behaviors that can allow individuals to convert their experience, knowledge, skills and motivation into superior performance. Our assessments provide an objective measurement of the talents that matter for the role you are hiring.

Examples of Natural Talent:

1 /

Generating many plausible ideas about how to solve a problem.

2 /

Delivering tough messages and making difficult people decisions.

3 /

Inspiring others with a positive message about the value they create.

4 /

Setting exponential goals that drive others to superior performance.

5 /

Seeing a clear sequence and eliminating ambiguity in work planning.
