Frequently asked questions

Practical guidance about the platform, its use, and the workforce decisions it supports.

Is job fit the same as job performance?+

No. Job fit is one source of evidence. Performance also depends on experience, skills, management, opportunity, motivation, and other factors.

Does a high Fit Score guarantee success?+

No. It indicates stronger alignment with defined role criteria, not a guaranteed outcome.

Does an integrity indicator prove misconduct?+

No. It identifies review context and should not be treated as automatic proof.

Who makes the final decision?+

The organization and its authorized decision-makers make the final decision.
