A Guide to Understanding Candidate Archetypes

What are Candidate Archetypes? 

The candidate archetypes stem from the information candidates provide through Psylent's personality assessment and Virtual Recruiter, ChatNINA. This results in a detailed personality profile description that aids candidates in gaining a deeper understanding of their own traits, thereby facilitating their search for a compatible cultural environment.
