Pre-interview behavioral assessment

The problem with hiring

A resume tells you
what someone did.
VantifyIQ shows you
who they are.

VantifyIQ is a 7-minute behavioral simulation that candidates complete before the interview. No right or wrong answers — their choices reveal how they naturally handle pressure, customers, and hard moments. You get a second data point before you spend time on a phone screen.

Why this matters

The average bad hire in a customer-facing role costs $8,000–$15,000 once you account for recruitment, training, callbacks, and customer damage. Most hiring processes screen for experience and enthusiasm — neither of which predicts how someone handles a customer who pushes back, a situation that goes sideways, or a moment where they have to say something the customer doesn't want to hear. VantifyIQ surfaces that before the interview, not after the offer.

How it works
1
Candidate receives a link before the interview
Takes 7 minutes on any device. No login required. Works as part of an application or sent after initial contact.
2
Five real situations specific to their role
HVAC techs get HVAC scenarios. Sales AEs get B2B sales scenarios. Every situation is realistic, trade-specific, and pressure-tested. No generic HR questions.
3
They see their own report first
Candidates receive a personal report showing their selling style, what it means, and where to focus. This builds trust and produces more honest answers.
4
You receive the hiring manager report
Separate report with hiring signal, stage-by-stage breakdown, and specific interview questions to probe what the assessment revealed.
The core insight

Every other assessment has a "right" answer. Candidates game them — they pick what they think the interviewer wants to see. VantifyIQ has no right answer. Each response maps to a different selling style, all of which can be effective. Candidates can't game what they can't decode. The result is honest behavioral data instead of performance.

The five styles VantifyIQ reveals
The Challenger
Direct and confident. Reframes the conversation. Strong on pitch and objections. Watch: rushes discovery.
The Consultant
Thorough and trusted. Exceptional discovery. Customers believe them. Watch: rarely closes.
The Relationship Builder
Warm and genuine. Drives loyalty and referrals. Watch: avoids hard truths, soft on objections.
The Closer
Deal-driven and urgent. Always defines next steps. Watch: pushes before people are ready.
The Craftsman
Technically authoritative and deeply trusted. Watch: doesn't share what they find, leaves without a next step. High upside with the right coaching.

Before VantifyIQ, I was making hiring decisions based on how well someone interviewed. That's exactly the wrong signal for a customer-facing role — the best interviewers aren't always the best with customers. Now I know how they actually handle pressure before I spend an hour on a phone screen.
