The line shows how much interest people suited to this role usually have. A bar past it means the role asks for even more, the rare, harder-to-find part. Make or break = a part the role hinges on.

How hard to fill

This role reads uncommon, a narrower search than most, which is neither better nor worse than a broad one, just more specific about who lines up.

Three real roles, switch between them, the bars and the marker show what each role runs on versus what people suited to it usually bring.

Why it matters

Good people fail roles that were impossible to begin with.

When a role quietly demands opposite strengths in one person, even strong hires struggle and the search drags. Korture catches it before you post, so you reshape the role instead of blaming the market.

Most mis-hires are decided before the first interview.

How to read it

The environment you're really hiring into

  • The work

    What one person will actually spend their days on, hands-on, problem-solving, or creative.

  • The team

    Whether the job runs through other people, or stays heads-down.

  • The drive

    How much it needs someone who leads, persuades, and pushes things forward.

  • The culture

    Whether it runs on structure and precision, or loose and fast.

Map your role
The context

The same title runs on different things

The same job title runs on different things at different companies and teams, so Korture reads your posting, never a title template.

Company context

A startup's account manager and an enterprise one run on different things, even under the same title.

Team context

Being the first hire on a team runs on different things than joining a pod of specialists.

The altitude

Mostly does the work, does and steers, or steers the people doing it, one call that re-reads the whole role.

Real roles

Three real roles, three different shapes

The same four facets read almost nothing alike from one role to the next. The trap isn't a weak candidate, it's reusing a template: cloning your last star, or expecting your own way of working. There's more than one way to be great at a role.

Senior Account Manager

Runs hardest on winning people over, then on keeping things aligned and keeping things accurate. This role lives on relationships.

Engineering Manager

Runs on building and running systems, developing people, and winning people over, all held together by coordination. A manager’s job, run through systems and people.

Hardware Engineer

Runs equally on building and running systems, digging into hard problems, winning people over, and keeping things aligned. Depth and rigor over polish.

The science

Why the shape matters

70 years of workplace science say roles run on a handful of behavioral demands, and a few of them decide whether the outcome gets hit. The job analysis an I/O psychologist does in days, per role, Korture runs in about two minutes.
