Personality and values

A job that fits your personality and your values.

Your CV says what you can do. Your personality and your values say where you thrive. Jobpace weighs both when a job is assessed, so you do not discover the difference three months into the new role.

Sound familiar?

A job can fit your CV without fitting you.

You can have the right experience, the right title and the right skills. And still a job can feel wrong once everyday life begins.

Right on paper

You keep ending up with roles that look right but feel wrong. You just cannot say why until you are there.

Not the same again

You do not want to go back to the kind of job you just left. But you are not sure what you want instead.

A test in a drawer

Perhaps you have a DISC or PrinciplesYou profile from a leadership programme. Perhaps you have never taken one. Either is a fine place to start.

Watch it happen

Your values, and then the weighting.

Values Finder helps you put into words what matters most. In Job match you decide how much your personality should count. Drag the slider.

Jobpace is the closest you get to a personal trainer for your job search. They got me from "I should probably do something" to actually doing it. They removed everything unnecessary. Including procrastination. No miracles, just clear structure, honest insights and a friendly push that worked better than Red Bull and coffee.

How Jobpace helps

Your profile, and then the match.

Your personality lives in your profile. Your values you find in Kompas. Both are used every time a job is assessed.

1
Your personality profileProfile
Paste in the results from PrinciplesYou, DISC, High5 or another test, in whatever format you have them. Or describe your working style in your own words.
2
Your valuesKompas → Values Finder
16 pairs of values. Each time you choose the one that matters more to you at work. You get your top working values, what to look for, what to watch out for, and a search filter sentence.
3
The matchJob match
You see Resume & experience and Personality fit separately, plus red flags if the role pulls the wrong way. The slider sets the weighting. How Job match works.
4
The interviewJobs → Prepare the interview
Eight likely questions and smart questions to ask them. So you can ask about exactly what your profile pointed to.
What Jobpace cannot do. Jobpace cannot tell you how you will feel in a job a year from now. But it can help you ask the right questions before you say yes.

Questions we often get
Do I need to take a personality test first?

No, it is entirely optional. The tools work well on experience alone. But a personality profile makes the match and the interview preparation noticeably more precise.

We recommend PrinciplesYou or High5, both free. If you already have a DISC, TMS or other profile, you can simply paste in the results. You can also describe your working style in your own words.

How is Jobpace's job match different from the AI I already use?

You can do many single things with other AI tools too. I did the same when I started: I built my own GPT that matched job ads against my CV. But then I had to copy the answer out to use it for my CV or my cover letter, and I still had to keep track of my network, my processes and a folder of which CV I had sent where. One AI tool covers one small part of a job search.

Jobpace brings it all together in one place, without you having to become an AI expert. And you can still use your own AI alongside it, for example to challenge a result.

The most important difference is what gets matched. Most job matching looks backwards: do my CV and my experience fit the job? Then you know whether you are qualified. But not whether the job suits your talents and the way you prefer to work.

Job match in Jobpace holds the job ad up against your CV, your LinkedIn profile and your personality profile. That brings out what is written between the lines.

Does Jobpace make things up in my CV?

Never. Jobpace only rephrases and highlights what is actually in your experience. What the ad asks for that your CV does not show is not written in. You are told about it, so you can decide whether to mention it in your cover letter.
