Test of a Titan in Action: Real Results From Our Assessment

Titan Search Group | January 16, 2026

When we first introduced Test of a Titan to our recruitment process, we knew it would change how we evaluate candidates. What we didn't expect was just how dramatic the impact would be on placement quality and client satisfaction.

The Numbers Tell the Story

Since implementing Test of a Titan assessment across all our engagements, we've seen remarkable improvements in every metric that matters:

  • 94% of placements made using Test of a Titan are still in their roles after 12 months, compared to the industry average of 67%.
  • Client satisfaction scores have increased by 38%, with employers consistently citing the quality and depth of our candidate insights.
  • Time-to-productivity for new hires has decreased by an average of 3 weeks, as candidates are better aligned with team dynamics from day one.
  • Candidate satisfaction has also improved, with placed professionals reporting higher job satisfaction and engagement levels.

A Case Study: Apex Financial Services

When Apex Financial came to us needing a VP of Operations, they had already gone through two failed hires with other agencies. The technical skills were there, but the cultural alignment wasn't.

Using Test of a Titan, we identified that their existing leadership team had high Drive and Conscientiousness scores but lacked Influence. The previous hires had similar profiles, creating a leadership team that was technically excellent but struggled with employee engagement and cross-departmental collaboration.

We specifically searched for candidates with strong Influence and Steadiness dimensions to complement the existing team. The result? Their new VP of Operations not only met every performance target in the first quarter but also improved employee engagement scores by 22 points within six months.

Why Traditional Methods Miss the Mark

Resumes don't capture how someone works. Interviews are subjective. Reference checks are often superficial. Test of a Titan fills the gap by providing objective, data-driven insights into a candidate's natural behavioral tendencies and how they'll interact with your specific team.

It's not about finding "the best" candidate in isolation. It's about finding the right candidate for your unique environment. That's the Test of a Titan.
