Send the Conflict Styles (TKI-derived) from Bullhorn in 10 minutes
Inside Bullhorn, Conflict Styles advises candidates on team-environment fit and manages expectations about communication-style integration. Bullhorn agencies use the two-letter primary profile to position candidates with end-clients where conflict-handling-style alignment is relevant. A high-competing candidate paired with a low-competing client team signals friction; recruiters use Conflict Styles profiles to set expectations or recommend alternative placements. The 10-minute completion makes Conflict Styles acceptable for high-volume agency screening.
Validity
TKI maps five conflict-handling styles. Predictive validity for team-fit is moderate (ρ ≈ .20).

Trigger the Conflict Styles (TKI-derived) on the candidate's stage transition
Add "Send Conflict Styles (TKI-derived)" as an automatic action when candidates enter the assessment stage. The candidate receives a co-branded Bullhorn email and completes the 10-minute form on mobile or desktop.

View the score envelope in the candidate profile
The full Conflict Styles (TKI-derived) score envelope (dimensions, bands, narrative summary) lands in the Bullhorn candidate profile within 30 seconds of submission. Recruiters review without leaving Bullhorn.
Sample score envelope
Generated by the same normalizer that serves your Bullhorn webhook, so the field names and types below are the ones you will parse. The candidate and the answers are a worked example; the numbers are illustrative, not a benchmark.
dimensions[].score is 0–100 within this test’s own scale. It is safe to rank candidates on one dimension of one test, and it is not a percentile unless metadata.score_metric says so — today only Big Five publishes percentiles, against norms whose sample size and pull date travel in the same envelope. Scores from two different tests are not comparable to each other.
