"Elevating our hiring process"

5/5

What do you like best about The Predictive Index?

The best part of using PI is the mission aligns with our values and mission so it is an easy sell to our leaders. The behavioral assessment has provided so much insight to a candidate when combined with face to face interview and resume. The interview builder has been a game changer for us. The assessment is so easy to explain to a candidate as well as take. It's also been an easy transition into using it in our hiring process. I can't imagine not having it especially for our leadership roles. We've steadily used it for each position that has been open. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The Predictive Index?

Right now the only down side is that it doesn't talk to our ATS. I would love to be able to integrate it with the ATS so we can send it to have more automation behind the process but I believe that will come with time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Game changer!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about The Predictive Index?

Using The Predictive Index takes initial guess work out of finding candidates for specific roles. I particularly love the insights The Predictive Index provides to work with your teammates. Lastly, I love the feature that allows you to understand how someone was presenting themselves or viewing themselves in the "rearview" or last 90-120 days. This provides great insight as to whether or not they had to change their natural behavior to perform well in their last job. All very interesting.

I also want to mention the ease of use of the website and finding information. The training is so helpful to help you understand what you want to look for based on what you are looking to understand about a coworker or candidate for hire. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The Predictive Index?

I can't think of anything that I dislike about The Predictive Index. If you half heartedly use The Predictive Index, it's tough to understand the specifics about someone's profile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is The Predictive Index solving and how is that benefiting you?

The Predictive Index gives us a better read on candidates who fit profiles that we have found to most successful in the sales roles that we hire for. Hiring and training candidates is expensive, not to mention the emotional toll hiring the wrong person can have on an individual and team. Nothing is 100%, but we see that the PI leveraged well can lead you to better successful hires.

The PI also helps leaders understand how their employees think and act, as well as what their team needs from them, in terms of communication style, constant support, or being completely productive on their own. Every role has it's place and providing leaders with a tool that can help lead people is so valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Useful Personally and Professionally"

5/5

What do you like best about The Predictive Index?

I’ve been using Predictive Index regularly over the past several years and it helps me make more informed, thoughtful decisions about people. It goes beyond just resumes or gut instincts and gives real insight into how someone is wired.

I use PI during interviews to better understand how a candidate might fit into the role and team. It helps me get a sense of their natural style, what motivates them, how they communicate, and how they work with others. This extra layer of understanding has helped avoid mismatches and made onboarding much smoother.

I also use PI as a regular reference point for coaching my team. It’s especially helpful when I’m supporting my direct reports with their own team members. We can have much more focused, personalized conversations that actually stick, because we’re speaking to the person’s strengths and natural tendencies.

Even at home, PI has made a difference. I've sent the survey to my wife and was able to give her a high level read back. It gives us both a better understanding of how we each approach situations (although I don't use it all the time in the moment). It has helped us communicate more clearly and with more patience.

I’ve also found PI extremely useful for self-reflection. It’s helped me become more self-aware and clearer about my own strengths and weaknesses. I catch myself faster in situations where I might otherwise react out of habit, and I’m better at leaning into what I naturally do best.

Next, I’m looking forward to introducing it to our kids so I can connect with them more effectively. They are teenagers and I'm struggling to relate to them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The Predictive Index?

I really like using PI, but there are a few things to watch out for. The standard profiles can feel a bit too cookie-cutter at times, and it's easy to fall into the trap of putting people in boxes based on their pattern. It’s a great starting point, but definitely not the whole picture. People do also evolve over time so important to not rely on it too heavily without real conversations or context. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is The Predictive Index solving and how is that benefiting you?

For New Hires: it helps me quickly understand a candidate’s natural work style, communication preferences, and motivators. It gives you insight into how they’re likely to show up in a team, how they handle pressure, and whether their behavioral traits align with the demands of the role. It helps us identify long-term fit and success to hire the right person.

For Existing Team Members: PI is a great coaching tool. I can use it to tailor my feedback, understand what drives them and how we can support their individual team members. It gives you a clearer picture of how to unlock their potential, identify gaps and build stronger communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"PI and the training courses have been immeasurably helpful in our teams' managing relationships."

5/5

What do you like best about The Predictive Index?

The most helpful part about PI is understanding the relationship between drives and needs. It is easier to be patient with another person when you understand them. If it weren't for the training sessions, understanding drives and needs would be much more difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The Predictive Index?

Sometimes it is easy to forget that the person is more than just their PI formula. Their point of view is also affected by their current situation, or even a bad day. PI is great, but humans are very complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Quick, Easy, and Accurate"

5/5

What do you like best about The Predictive Index?

I have taken other "personality/behavior" assessments, but Predictive Index is by far the most user-friendly platform on the market. From a candidate perspective, it is quick and easy to take, resulting in higher follow-through rates. From an employer/administrator perspective, it is easy to set-up and manage. The recent overhaul of the platform was a huge improvement, making the platform even easier to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The Predictive Index?

The only downside is that it doesn't offer the ability to give candidates a basic snapshot of their results as a ROI of their time for taking it. I know I can click a button to have the results sent to the candidates but it would be nice if PI could offer a few positive bullet points as a takeaway for those who complete it.

"Predicitve Index Review"

5/5

What do you like best about The Predictive Index?

We absolutely love the job match tool. Before we interview anyone, we require a PI. This tool helps us navigate the interview and enables us to determine if the candidate is the right fit for the position before we extend an offer. The Behavioral Report and 1:1 relationship guide is something I reference weekly. It's part of my preparation for meetings and Team calls. Brian Gelt knows this tool inside and out and is so enthusiastic and passionate about teaching us how to leverage it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The Predictive Index?

I haven't found any. I'm a huge advocate/ fan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Software for Recruiters and Managers!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about The Predictive Index?

I've used The Predictive Index for almost two years now and it's a very useful and progressive software that helps pinpoint what drives specific employees because everyone thinks differently and is motivated differently. It's extremely helpful for managers in learning what type of work style they thrive in, and also how two people may best work together. It's very easy to use for the test-taker as well as the person issuing the testing and reading the results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about The Predictive Index?

I don't have any issues with it at the moment. If I think of anything I will let you know. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Resource Tool"

taking the results from the job profile and creating the best spread for the role based on the individuals feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
