What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“ideal for mid-market and enterprise companies looking to standardize their hiring process around behavioral fit” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Candidate assessment · direct prompt · first choice

“If behavioral and cognitive insights are a priority, The Predictive Index is an excellent alternative.” Mistral Small · Candidate assessment · direct prompt · alternative

“Best if you want hiring *plus* talent/performance management in one suite” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Candidate assessment · direct prompt · alternative

“Best for: Behavioral Insights and Employee Development” Kimi K2 · Candidate assessment · comparative prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Enterprise-grade legacy platforms (like SHL, Predictive Index, or Hogan) require expensive annual contracts and formal setup fees.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Candidate assessment · budget prompt · soft negative

“Predictive Index, Hogan, SHL are more suited for that, but they’re much more expensive” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Candidate assessment · budget prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named The Predictive Index. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 29 of the 35 answers that named The Predictive Index and are not a share of its labels.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when The Predictive Index's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as The Predictive Index, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at thepredictiveindex.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
