The same 48 pairs, read in different contexts
WorkStyle Compass started inside Hire Mountain's matching. The reading turned out to be useful well beyond staffing. These pages describe how each context uses it — and, just as important, how each one commits not to misuse it.
Hire Mountain
Hire Mountain places remote professionals with North American companies. The Compass is the work-style half of its matching, alongside skills, experience and interviews.
Scholar Quest
Scholar Quest is a family planning site for getting into university and winning scholarships. It runs the same 48 questions, reworded for school, so a teenager's reading carries forward into their working life.
Employers building remote teams
A team of four Navigators will move fast and miss the details. A team of four Surveyors will produce excellent work late. The Compass gives a hiring manager a shared language for the balance they are actually trying to build.
Job seekers and career changers
Most people can list their skills. Far fewer can say clearly how they like to work, what they need from a manager, and what kind of team they do their best work in. A Compass reading gives you the words.
Students choosing programmes
Programmes differ as much in how they are taught as in what they teach. Cohort-based, lab-based, independent, competitive, cumulative. A Compass reading helps a student see which settings will feel natural, so they can choose with their eyes open.
Teams already working together
A team that has worked together for a year has already discovered its friction points. Mapping everyone's directions usually shows why: it is rarely about effort, and often about two people sitting at opposite ends of the same pair.
