The Culture Index alternative
Talen.to measures with OCEAN (Big Five), the most research-validated personality model, plus your company's values — and runs it inside an ATS, with a fit score your team reads on its own, no advisor required.
What Culture Index is
Culture Index is a behavioral-analytics platform: it measures seven traits with a word-checklist survey and leans on an executive advisor who works with leadership to read and apply the data.
Why people look for an alternative
Culture Index's value is tightly tied to its executive advisor and a proprietary model. If you want autonomy — a model grounded in the academic standard (Big Five), actionable results without depending on a consultant, and everything inside your hiring process — that hand-holding can become a fixed cost and a dependency.

When Culture Index is the right call

When Talen.to is the right call
If you prefer the scientific standard (Big Five), results your team interprets without a consultant, and everything integrated into your hiring, Talen.to is the alternative.
