Sorwe Position Match Analysis is a strategic assessment solution that analyzes the alignment between job roles and candidates’ competencies, personality traits, and behavioral profiles to ensure the right person–right role match. 🎯

With this module, roles are no longer defined only by job titles. Instead, each position is clearly mapped based on the competencies, personality characteristics, and behavioral patterns it truly requires.

This approach allows hiring decisions to be based not on CVs or subjective interview impressions, but on objective competency, personality, and behavioral data.
Position Match Analysis provides a solid, data-driven foundation for one of the most critical HR decisions: hiring.


What Does Position Match Analysis Do?

Position Match Analysis helps you to:

  • Clearly define the ideal competency and personality profile required for a role

  • Objectively measure how well each candidate aligns with that profile

  • Reduce the risk of poor hiring decisions

  • Build long-term, high-performing, and sustainable teams

In short:
👉 It doesn’t just answer “Can this candidate do the job?”
👉 It answers “Will this candidate truly succeed in this role?”


How Does It Work?

1️⃣ Defining the Ideal Position Profile

At least two internal experts evaluate the role through the system by defining:

  • Required personality traits

  • Core competency sets

  • Expected behavioral patterns

These evaluations are consolidated to create the ideal position profile.

2️⃣ Candidate Assessments

Candidates complete the following evaluations:

Personality & Competency Inventory (DISC) – mandatory
Numerical and verbal assessments – optional

All data is collected digitally and analyzed within a single system.

3️⃣ Compliance Score & Candidate Ranking

Sorwe compares each candidate’s results with the ideal position profile and clearly presents:

  • Position compliance score

  • Strengths and development areas

  • Potential risks and opportunities for the role

Candidates are then ranked based on their suitability for the position. 📊

Easy Candidate Access & Evaluation

Assessments can be sent to candidates with a single click.
Candidates complete them easily via mobile or web.
HR teams track all results from one screen — no manual files, no spreadsheets. 🚀
