Send the RIASEC (Holland Codes) from SmartRecruiters in 10 minutes
Inside SmartRecruiters' Hiring Success platform, RIASEC integrates with mid-market talent-mobility and cross-functional-readiness programmes. SmartRecruiters customers use RIASEC career-fit signaling to identify candidates ready for role transitions — high-Investigative + high-Enterprising profiles are positioned for product-management readiness, high-Artistic + high-Social for design and operations roles. The six-domain profile surfaces on the SmartRecruiters scorecard as a structured data field; recruiters use it for role-positioning conversations with candidates. The lightweight code framework (six scores per candidate) makes RIASEC ideal for mid-market scale without friction.
Validity
RIASEC maps career-fit preferences. Predictive validity for role-fit satisfaction is moderate (ρ ≈ .25). Best use: career-guidance conversation.
