Describe the role by its outcomes. Then see how each person would actually meet it.
UnicornWorks reads a slate of candidates against one role—and tells you what every claim rests on, ranks what can honestly be ranked, and names the path to fit for every single pairing.
An assessment is one input to a decision a human makes—never the decision.
See the sample slate instantly—no sign-up, no wait. Assessing your own role runs the same scoring and keeps it in your account.
2 clear of any cap, 1 structurally bound—the footing decides more than the order does.

Most hiring calls are made on the least honest evidence in the room.
A résumé is a positioning document. An interview is a performance with a small sample size. “Culture fit” is usually a feeling wearing a process costume. None of that is bad input—it just shouldn’t be treated as more than it is.
Ranked on uneven footing
One candidate you know well, one you've read about, one who just interviewed brilliantly. Ranking them as if the evidence were equal is how the wrong hire wins.
The gap is the story
How someone presents, how they develop, and how they actually deliver rarely agree—and the distance between those tells you more than any one of them.
“Not a culture fit”, unexamined
Said out loud with nothing behind it, it's the phrase bias hides inside. Stated culture, read structurally, is a defensible claim instead.
Every claim arrives with its footing stated.
The strongest: a Stance360 the candidate completed and shared for this role, their acknowledgement recorded. Invitations are built in—the consent is specific, and it travels with the assessment.
A real measurement that stops short—a shared result without a role-specific acknowledgement. Used, and labeled as exactly what it is.
Read from public signal alone, with no input from the person. A starting hypothesis, never a finding—and the report says so in plain words.
The person is always the best source on themselves. Where a reading has no evidence behind it, it reports itself unavailable rather than being filled in.
Beyond the ranking.
The culture lens
State your culture in your own words and every candidate is read against it—which of their readings it rewards, which it taxes, each claim quoting the exact phrase it rests on. Standings and paths. Deliberately, never a score.
Team fit
A team's coverage is the union of what its members are naturally aligned with—not an average. See what the group absorbs, where strain lands, and what a hire would change.
The audit record
Every ranked slate, the scoring version that produced it, exported for an auditor. Where law regulates hiring tools, this is the file that exists from day one—and no demographic data, ever.
I’m hiring. I’m applying. Same honesty.
