About us
Unleashing the power of personality
Be yourself, get hired.
At Trudy, we know your personality is your secret weapon in the job market. Why? Because employers don’t just hire qualifications—they hire people. Too often, what makes you stand out gets lost in generic job applications. We’re here to change that.
Our mission is to empower you to own your unique strengths, turning them into your competitive edge. We don’t just look at your skills—we focus on amplifying the traits that make you uniquely you.
When you embrace your personality, the right doors open.

The science behind personality
Start my assessmentUnderstand yourself. Empower your career.
Our psychometric assessments are grounded in decades of psychological research and measurement theory, offering scientifically validated insights into your core traits and capabilities. These assessments go far beyond surface-level personality tests; they’re designed to accurately measure psychological attributes like cognitive abilities, communication style, and emotional intelligence, ensuring a deep, reliable understanding of who you are.
By leveraging the latest insights from psychology and neuroscience, our assessments tap into the Big Five personality traits—openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness, and emotional stability. Understanding these traits unlocks deeper insights into your strengths, helping you pinpoint roles and environments where you’ll thrive.
We’re not just helping you get hired—we’re empowering you to align your career with who you really are, turning your unique strengths into your greatest advantage.
