Hiring for critical roles
When a bad hire costs years, not months. Assess candidates against the capabilities the role actually demands, not a generic personality archetype, and identify who has the trajectory to perform.
Trajectas · Capability assessment
Trajectas builds psychometric instruments around the capabilities your organisation actually needs, with measurement tied to the outcomes you're trying to move.
Why now
Off-the-shelf assessments score people against a single fixed model of human potential. Trajectas measures the capabilities your roles depend on, and links the measurement to the performance outcomes you're trying to move.
How it works
Discovery is where it starts. A short scoping engagement maps the capabilities your organisation actually depends on, then the instrument is built around it.
We map your roles, your competency framework, and the outcomes you're trying to predict. No assumptions about what "capability" means until you tell us.
Capabilities are designed around your organisation. AI-drafted, your team approves. Pre-built starting points if you'd rather customise than start blank.
Participants take the assessment in a co-branded runner. Items drawn from a calibrated bank. Campaigns send to whole cohorts at once.
Individual capability profiles ship today. Over time, we connect the instrument to the performance signals you choose to share.
How we measure
Trajectas isn't a personality quiz dressed up as a tool. The capabilities we measure are drawn from the research that distinguishes performance at work, and built into measurement that's calibrated to your roles.
Every capability we measure is grounded in established research on what actually predicts performance at work. Not pop psychology, not personality typing. The underlying science decades of organisational research has stress-tested.
The point of measurement is to predict what people will do under pressure, in ambiguity, when stakeholders push back. We build items around the behaviours that distinguish outcomes in your roles.
Items are calibrated for reliability and discrimination before they reach a participant. The underlying statistics are inspectable. We won't bury you in psychometric jargon. We won't fudge the maths either.
A 60-second snapshot
Six quick questions, then a simple snapshot across three capabilities. It's a taste of how Trajectas turns measurement into something you can actually act on.
Six quick questions. We'll show you a simple snapshot across three capabilities at the end. No sign-up, no storage — just a small experiment to see how the measurement feels.
Use cases
When a bad hire costs years, not months. Assess candidates against the capabilities the role actually demands, not a generic personality archetype, and identify who has the trajectory to perform.
Map your people against the capabilities that drive outcomes in your organisation. See where strengths concentrate and gaps hide. Connect the map to performance data once you have it.
Move beyond proxies. Identify who is ready, who is close, and what each person needs to develop, anchored to the capabilities your next leaders will actually need.
