Personality screening tool makes it easier than ever for hiring
managers to flip their candidate pool and find those hidden
gems.
Personality Pool, a personality screening tool that lets
employers screen applicants based on personality traits vital to a
role's success but not always immediately apparent through resumes
or generic intake forms, today announced its launch out of beta.
Developed with the unique needs of retail, hospitality, entry-level
sales, and call center roles in mind—Personality Pool has
facilitated over 5,000 applicant entries through its platform and
is quickly adding new customers.

Tennessee native and former sales and business development
executive Lauren Glass-Mullins co-founded Personality Pool in 2022.
The company aims to modernize outdated recruitment methods by
empowering employers to connect with candidates on a more personal
level so they can hire the right people, faster.
Character-Based Scoring Offers a New Way to Screen
Talent
Personality Pool is built on the belief that a resume doesn’t
always tell the full story of a person’s capabilities or fit for a
job.
“As someone who struggled to get my foot in the door earlier in
my career due to lack of experience, I know how discouraging the
job hunt can be," Glass-Mullins explained. “Certain intrinsic
qualities like warmth, communication, and emotional intelligence
are essential for customer-facing or team-oriented roles. By
screening for these traits upfront, we're helping companies uncover
those hidden gems who are often overlooked.”
The video-based platform guides applicants through a series of
insightful questions, using AI technology to analyze their
responses. Employers receive an insightful personality score and
detailed assessment of each candidate's core characteristics to
determine cultural fit. This approach helps to reduce hiring bias
and create more opportunities for potential hires who may not tick
all the standard resume boxes.
Employers using Personality Pool can quickly screen talent
through a series of pre-selected questions, designed by
organizational psychologist and Chief Science Officer Dr. Allen
Gorman, to ensure fairness and accuracy. This method not only
speeds up the hiring process but also enhances it by prioritizing
traits that are crucial for roles, particularly in customer
service-oriented sectors such as retail and hospitality.
“Many potentially excellent recruits are missed due to
conventional hiring processes that fail to capture the essence of
an individual," says Dr. Gorman. “What companies want is the
ability to see beyond a resume—to understand who embodies the core
values and personality traits that are most likely to thrive and
positively impact their workplace culture. Personality Pool bridges
this gap by highlighting key areas that are crucial for long-term
success and cultural fit within a company.”
Empowering Employers and Job Seekers
Operating as both a tool for employers and a platform for job
seekers who feel marginalized by traditional hiring practices,
Personality Pool levels the playing field for many applicants,
emphasizing the importance of personality—particularly in
customer-facing roles where interpersonal skills and attitude are
often more indicative of job performance than technical skills
alone.
