London startup launches first ever 'personality-based' platform for job seekers

Today (May 29), Talentful has launched a ‘world’s first’ for job search platforms.

Talentful is said to be the first platform which links jobseekers to their best-matched roles based on their personality type.

With 85 per cent of the global workforce described as “emotionally disconnected from the workplace”, Talentful’s aim is to find jobs for people to feel more fulfilled in their career.

Phil Blaydes, Talentful’s founder and co-CEO, said: “Over the last few years, Talentful has helped some of the best tech companies in the world build great teams, and we’ll still continue to do that.

“But now we’re also focused on giving power back to the jobseekers, giving them the best chance for them to find their ideal team by matching their unique personality with the perfect role.

“Our mission at Talentful is to unleash human potential and we believe the new culture matching platform is an exciting step to help people enjoy work and get more fulfilment from their careers.”

The culture-matching quiz was created by combining tech with psychometric insights. The tailored questions algorithmically calculate the jobseeker’s personality type, to give one of eight personality archetypes, including a ‘Leader’ or an ‘Influencer’.
