Not a personality test — interview input
NormSignal reads how people decide through short workplace dilemmas and makes it usable at the last step of hiring, at onboarding and when teams change.
Why we exist
The last step of hiring often rests on a feeling: CVs read, interviews done, two good finalists left. A decision is made, then the first 90 days are trial and error.
NormSignal structures that moment. It shows how the candidate decides in hard dilemmas, so your final interview asks targeted questions instead of guessing, and onboarding is prepared from day one.
Where we came from
NormSignal started as an HR analytics tool monitoring teams with short weekly scenarios. Our own measurement showed that in teams of 5–15 the weekly trend doesn't separate from noise: an 8-person team whose behaviour never changed raised a false alarm half the time over 12 weeks. Instead of selling that, we moved the product to where the measurement is reliable: a single session, about one person, as a descriptive report.
Our principles
- Transparent assessment
- People know when and why they're assessed; they see their own report, can add a note, and know the HR report has extra sections.
- People make the decision
- The report can't be the sole basis for a hiring or promotion decision; this is in the contract.
- We don't claim what we haven't shown
- Our validity study isn't complete, so we sell structured interview input, not prediction.
- Little data, short life
- Only the choices made are collected; unsuccessful candidates are deleted within 30 days, individual team-round answers when the round closes.
