OUR FUTURE OF WORK RESEARCH
Our research started with the cyber workforce of the future because our founders come from cyber, defense, and tech recruiting.
But we soon learned that answering the question "what role in the future workforce am I?" has more to it. There's more to a role, there's more to a job, and companies are very different, as are teams within companies.
So we expanded our research to include 1,000 roles from the US Department of Labor, 30,000 job titles from enterprises, and 8,000 company profiles. This is the invisible "back-end" of our systems and apps. To explore the first prototype of our role-matching data, visit these example work profiles: Nurse, Architect, Software Engineer, Project Manager, Sales Director.
MY WORK INTERESTS
The first survey you will take is based on the RIASEC theory of workforce traits of interest from decades of research by the US Department of Labor.
Work interests are our preferences for specific work-related activities, tasks, and environments. The leading model of work interests is Holland's Theory of Vocational Choice. In this model, we measure six interest types: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional.
Understanding work interests is proven to help us make informed career decisions and find jobs that align with our preferences. We also use RIASEC-based data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. This is the foundational theory for the NIST NICE Cyber Workforce Framework and how global governments assign military talent.

MY THINKING STYLE
Our Thinking Style model is designed to enhance problem-solving and decision-making by identifying our personal cognitive preferences.
Drawing from Foursight and HBDI theories, it classifies thinking into four styles. Thinkers, merging Foursight’s 'Clarifier' and HBDI’s analytical thinking, are adept at critical evaluation and logical analysis. Dreamers, combining 'Ideator' with relational thinking, excel in creativity and innovative thinking. Feelers, akin to 'Developer' and emotional thinking, focus on empathy and emotional intelligence, essential in understanding and relating to others. Planners, blending 'Implementer' with structural thinking, are skilled in organizing and strategic execution.
Applying this model in daily life enables us to leverage our cognitive preferences and collaborate more effectively within teams. By recognizing and harnessing these styles, we unblock problem-solving and innovative thinking in professional settings, leading to enhanced team dynamics and successful outcomes. Its effect on conflict mitigation (prevention, reduction) cannot be underestimated, in both work and home.

MY PERSONALITY
Based on OCEAN, which explains 75% of human personality.
Personality is defined as the set of unique traits and characteristics that shape most of our behavior, thoughts, and feelings.
The framework we use, based on the scientific OCEAN model, assesses six major personality traits and 25 minor traits to help guide your career choices and filter your custom match algorithm.
You will learn how your Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism influence your professional success and satisfaction. This personal approach ensures that your career aligns with your natural tendencies, leading to a more fulfilling and rewarding professional experience. It's about creating a career path that not only uses your skills but also resonates with who you are at your core.

MY MORALITY
Based on the core five moral virtues of the Moral Foundations Theory.
Moral foundations refer to the principles and values that guide our ethical decision-making. The Moral Foundations Theory suggests five universal virtue/vice pairs: Care/Harm, Fairness/Cheating, Loyalty/Betrayal, Authority/Subversion, and Sanctity/Degradation.
These moral traits influence our attitudes and behaviors towards social and political issues, as well as our ethical decision-making in the workplace (Haidt & Graham, 2007). This approach acknowledges the importance of moral alignment in professional settings, guiding you towards roles where your ethical beliefs are central to your responsibilities.

MY PERSONAL VALUES
Companies that align with our personal values offer an environment that fosters a sense of belonging, purpose, and job satisfaction.
As noted by the American Psychological Association, "Individuals who align their personal values with those of their organization have greater job satisfaction and commitment to their employer" (2019). By prioritizing values and finding companies that share these values, we can find fulfillment in our work and contribute positively to our companies. In the future of work, understanding personal values and seeking alignment with company values will be a key to creating a fulfilling and satisfying career.
