I get wanting to make sure people work well together but do you think this could hinder diversity? Not only gender and racial, but thought diversity too.

@esleysvanas Awesome question, so glad you asked it! This is where Fortay is different. A large proportion of existing tools focus on psychometric (aka personality) analysis. Fortay is based on a fundamentally different philosophy and provides insights on your unique company culture, employee engagement as well as a cultural correlation function for potential candidates. Culture is best described as the behaviours and actions within a company that is governed by the core values and beliefs of the company. Fortay enables companies to obtain insights based on the very best people in a given team/company! The data collected to date indicates that objective culture-matching can promote diversity (i.e. personality, ethnic, thought, gender) in a company.

@marlinakz I guess not knowing the questions asked I'm still a bit skeptical. Behaviors and actions can still be very related to a single gender or race and if the "very best" people are in a company are all say, straight middle aged white dudes, then it seems like the results would skew to things they believe or perhaps behaviors and actions only they find acceptable. I guess I don't see how this could be objective culture matching if culture is a subjective matter?

@esleysvanas @marlinakz Based on the objective data thus far, I can state that there is strong evidence that Fortay induces personality/gender/ethnic diversity. By way of example, 1/3 of the engineering team at Mercatus Technologies is female (including leadership roles). In effect, the collective beliefs and values of an organization is what forms the the common bond among otherwise diverse groups of people. You should try it out and see for yourself! :)

@hnshah thanks so much for hunting us! :) Hey PHers, I’m Marlina, CoFounder at Fortay and we're thrilled to officially launch our product on Product Hunt today! Making the right hire for culture fit is hard. My CoFounders and I are Hiring Managers who built Fortay for other Hiring Managers. Fortay is a data-driven culture fit hiring solution for Hiring Managers to accelerate the hiring process, drastically reduce screening times and keep teams culturally aligned. We asked our users, "What intrigues you about Fortay?" - I'm spending half of my day screening candidates - I'm swamped - We care about culture on our teams and want to see how Fortay can help here - We want to see what your tool can tell us about what's important to our people to help us identify our culture - We've had a few bad hires recently which really hit our company on multiple levels - We're rapidly hiring and worried about the impact on our culture and team in general We’d love for you to check us out and let us know what you think. We love feedback. The first 100 signups get dibs on an exclusive offer on top of an unlimited 30-day free trial. Hope you enjoy it! My CoFounders and I are here to answer all your questions. Thanks y'all!

We tried Fortay at Edusight and it was super simple to use. For us, the insights on our own team from the internal survey were just as useful as the insights on potential candidates.

Great service! Employee engagement survey is usually very expensive practice for many companies. I found the successful employee engagement survey typically have these qualities. 1) Good and non bias questions 2) Make sure anonymity. For example you cannot see result if you are the manager of 5 members. Need to reach certain threshold to see the result without names. 3) Communication to make sure anonymity. I think Fortay is doing great job making sure anonymity. Does it also help businesses coming up with good non bias questions?

@kzynakamura Thanks for the comment! We're big on anonymity, it's the best way to get an open dialogue going and help make improvements in the workplace. We work closely with companies and will make non-biased question suggestions if asked. In the future, we will offer a list based on demand and feedback. Keep the questions coming! :)

@marlinakz That will be great. In my experience, the most difficult part really have been asking right questions. Words and phrases can be interpreted differently depending on team/department/country and etc. I think Fortay is awesome. Good luck :)

Determining culture fit for people within a company can be a tricky thing. Products like Fortay that help with that process are exciting to see come to fruition. I look forward to hearing more about how Fortay and others are helping people recruit and keep great people for their teams.
