Send the EQ (Emotional Intelligence) from Teamtailor in 10 minutes
Inside Teamtailor, EQ surfaces for customer-success and people-operations roles where relationship-management dominates. Teamtailor's Nordic SMB recruiting teams value EQ for roles where candidate personality and relationship-management capability predict placement success and retention. The modern Teamtailor UX makes the four-domain EQ envelope (self-awareness, self-management, social-awareness, relationship-management) readable for SMB-scale hiring teams. EQ scores feed Teamtailor's stage-automation and candidate-ranking logic, so recruiters can identify high-relationship-management candidates for team-fit loops. The ten-minute completion is acceptable for SMB hiring volume.

EQ adds incremental predictive validity for emotional-labour roles — ρ ≈ .24 (Joseph & Newman 2010).
