Assess Talent
How We Assess Talent Instead of Skills, Experience or Certifications
Pythia Cyber has collaborated with our talent partner, Conchie & Associates, to create a cybersecurity assessment with unique features:
Validated through AI-based review of 10-K filings, AI-based review of cybersecurity job openings and AI-based review of cybersecurity performance standards.
Cybersecurity ‘talent stack’ developed specifically for cybersecurity – not repurposed from other occupations or based on foundational human individual differences (e.g., “Big 5” factors of personality, general mental ability)
Built on the premise that talent is found along discrete dimensions reflecting leadership, motivation, interpersonal skills, capacity to persuade others, and approach to planning and executing work schedules
Reflecting a practice based on decades of empirical studies as summarized in a peer-reviewed meta-analysis at a top-tier academic/practitioner journal ( Schmidt & Rader, 1999) Administered using materials and a platform that ensure minimization of potential score differences based on work-irrelevant factors
Comes in three role-specific variants: View this blog post for more information
