Find work that fits the actual you

A career fits when the work matches your values, not just your resume. The Holland test plus your work-values profile teach Job Scout what 'fit' actually means for you — and it shortlists accordingly.

  • A six-dimension work-values profile (Holland / RIASEC) that captures the parts of fit a resume can't
  • Roles scored against your values, not just your title — so the shortlist reflects work you'd actually want
  • Your profile evolves quietly over time as your weekly reviews surface what's energizing you and what's draining you

Three steps from preference to approval

Every step is approval-gated. Nothing exports, sends, or applies on your behalf without an explicit confirmation.

01

Take the Holland test

About 30 short questions, ten minutes. The Holland (RIASEC) framework maps your preferences across six dimensions — Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, Conventional. No right answers, no wrong answers, no comparison to anyone else.

02

Review your work-values profile

Your six scores show up as a plain-English profile, not a personality label. We explain what each dimension means for the kind of work you'd find energizing — and which dimensions feel like friction so you can spot them early in a job description.

Let it shape your shortlist

Job Scout reads your work-values profile alongside your proof bank when it shortlists roles. The match score now includes a values-fit component, with plain-language reasoning so you can see why a role landed where it did.

What's actually here

Sub-features that make up this part of Career Stride. Each ships with the agent below.

Holland (RIASEC) assessment

The fourth Career Stride assessment — short, lightweight, designed to be retaken as your career evolves. Lands in the assessment flow as a Phase 2 amendment.

Six-dimension values profile

Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, Conventional. Six numeric scores plus a plain-English read of what each one means for the work you'd find fitting.

Values-aware shortlisting

Job Scout includes a values-fit component in the match score for every role. The reasoning shows which values lined up with the role and which felt like friction.

Quiet evolution over time

Weekly review questions tagged as work-value signals quietly update your profile over months. The career you want now isn't the career you wanted five years ago — your profile reflects that.

Friction flags on job descriptions

When a role looks great on paper but conflicts with a high-priority value, the shortlist surfaces it as a friction flag rather than burying it under the score.

Career-arc framing

Work values aren't just for picking your next role — they're the lens for the next decade of your career. The profile feeds the Career Plan and the weekly reviews on the Career Accelerator side, too.

Common questions about this feature

What is the Holland test?

A widely used vocational psychology framework — also called RIASEC — that maps work preferences across six dimensions. We use a short version, around 30 questions, scored on the same six axes the original framework uses. It is one of the four Career Stride assessments and it lands in the assessment flow as a Phase 2 amendment.

Why work values and not just skills?

AI is doing more of the skill work every quarter. What is left is judgment, attitude, aptitude, and fit — the dimensions a resume cannot capture. A great role on paper can still be wrong for you if the day-to-day fights your values. Work values close that gap.

How does this change the jobs I see in my shortlist?

Job Scout adds a values-fit component to the match score for every role. Roles that align with your top dimensions rank higher; roles that conflict with a strong value get a friction flag rather than a quiet bury. Either way, the reasoning is plain English and you have final say.

Will my profile change over time?

Yes — and that is a feature, not a bug. Weekly review questions on the Career Accelerator side are tagged as work-value signals; they quietly update your profile as your career evolves. The career you want at 35 is rarely the career you wanted at 25, and your profile should reflect that.

Can I retake the assessment?

Anytime. The Holland test is short by design so retaking it is a small commitment. Most users retake it once a year or after a major career inflection point — a promotion, a layoff, a return from a sabbatical.

Is my work-values profile shared with employers?

No. Your profile is yours. It informs your shortlist and your career plan inside Career Stride. We never broker your data to recruiters or share an aggregated values dashboard with employers.
