The assessment behind every Ballast search.
Every candidate we put in front of you takes Crew Fuel, a 15 minute behavioral and cognitive assessment built for small business owners. It shows how someone naturally works, makes decisions and handles pressure.
16 profiles across four families.
More than a score on a résumé.
Crew Fuel turns 15 minutes of a candidate's time into a picture of how they'll actually work in the seat.
Profile reports
A report on every candidate, or on the teammates you already have.
Fit scoring
Each person is scored against 51 built in roles, with the ideal trait range for each.
Team map
See where your current team has gaps before you decide who to hire next.
Interview kits
Role specific questions, so every interview digs into what matters for the seat.
Leadership guidance
How to motivate each person, give them feedback and spot retention risks early.
Field guides
A guide for each of the 51 roles, so you know what good looks like in the seat.
One input, never the final word.
Crew Fuel results are one input among several, and they never screen out or reject a candidate on their own. In a Ballast search, the assessment sits next to the résumé, the round one interview and references. You make the call.
