Send the Skills Audit (21st-century skills) from Lever in 15 minutes
When the Lever adapter ships (target H2 2026), the Skills Audit will reach Lever via the webhook + Feedback Forms architecture as a structured form per candidate covering 12 modern-skill domains (analytical thinking, creative thinking, AI literacy, resilience, learning agility, etc.). Lever's coordination-first workflow suits the Skills Audit well — coordinators can pair the self-report Feedback Form with a documented work-sample task captured on a sibling Feedback Form, raising predictive validity from ρ .35 to ρ .55 per the Mabe & West meta-analysis. AI literacy in particular is the rising 2026 hiring differentiator and Lever's structured-feedback model is the right place to surface it.
Validity
Skills self-assessments correlate moderately with supervisor ratings (ρ ≈ .35; Mabe & West 1982 meta-analysis of 41 studies). The signal rises sharply (ρ .35 → .55) when self-report is triangulated with work-sample evidence — pair the Skills Audit with a structured task before the screening decision.

Big Five (OCEAN)
personality test
Big Five conscientiousness has the strongest meta-analytic link to job performance of any single personality dimension — corrected ρ ≈ .31 across 117 studies (Barrick & Mount 1991, Personnel Psychology). The NEO-PI-R is the gold-standard instrument and forms the basis of JobCannon's 50-item adaptation, which returns five normalised dimension scores per candidate.

DISC
behavioural style assessment
DISC measures observable behaviour patterns (dominance, influence, steadiness, conscientiousness) rather than performance predictors. Its meta-analytic correlation with job performance is modest (~.10-.15, lower than Big Five). Use it inside Lever for team-fit and communication-style mapping at the interview-feedback stage, not as a primary hiring filter.

EQ (Emotional Intelligence)
emotional intelligence assessment
Emotional intelligence shows incremental predictive validity over cognitive ability and Big Five for jobs with high emotional-labour demands — corrected ρ ≈ .24 for customer-facing and people-management roles (Joseph & Newman 2010, Journal of Applied Psychology, k=88). Less informative for back-office, technical, or independent-contributor roles.

Frequently asked
When does the Lever integration ship?+
Target H2 2026.
How will the Skills Audit meet EEOC requirements inside Lever?+
Self-report scores alone are too easy to manipulate to anchor a hire decision (Mabe & West meta-analysis: ρ .35 self-report, ρ .55 when triangulated with work-sample evidence). The integration plan: emit the Skills Audit Feedback Form first, then pair with a sibling Feedback Form capturing a structured work-sample task. Compliance documentation lives on the candidate profile in the same coordination view.
Can I send the Skills Audit from Lever today?+
Not natively. Bridge today via the JobCannon REST API. We recommend pairing the bridge with a parallel work-sample-task workflow inside Lever Feedback Forms — same predictive-validity logic applies.
Which Lever roles benefit most from the Skills Audit?+
Roles where the tool-stack changes faster than the job-description can keep up — software engineering, data, design, product, marketing, research. AI literacy is the fastest-rising 21st-century skill on the WEF Future of Jobs 2023 employer-need ranking (cited by 80% of surveyed employers as core for hiring in 2023-2027).
How long does the Skills Audit take?+
Median candidate completion is 15 minutes on JobCannon's 60-item form covering 12 skill domains.
How do I express interest in early access?+
