Understanding Sprockets Fit Scores

In Sprockets, fit scores provide a nuanced understanding of each applicant's personality and suitability for a role. We compare the applicant to the top performers for that specific position. This article explains how to interpret these traits and utilize the additional guidance provided for hiring managers.

Personality Trait Spectrum

Sprockets uses descriptive words at each end of the spectrum to better articulate the trait. These are not simply good or bad variations. For example, if you're looking for a cautious employee, you might prefer someone described as “Careful.” On the other hand, if your location needs someone more daring, the lower end of the spectrum might be more suitable. In either case, the closer the applicant's traits align with the top performers, the better the match and the higher the fit score.
