Heimdall has innovated early discovery of transformational talent - moving beyond role-based hiring to identify paradigm-shifters before they're recognized.
Our patent-pending behavioral AI methodology generates Transformation Quotient (TQ) scores: comprehensive assessments of a candidate's capacity for breakthrough work.
Transformation Quotient (TQ) Assessment
TQ captures what traditional screening misses:
Domain expertise at scale: Evaluates candidates across any discipline, recognizing what only subject-matter experts would catch: intractable problems being solved, productive assumption violations, work years ahead of current practice.
Cross-domain innovation: Identifies synergies from unusual field combinations, techniques from unrelated domains solving core challenges, and emergent capabilities neither field alone possesses.
Early breakthrough detection: Spots transformative capability years or decades before external validation arrives - when competitive advantage is highest.
Behavioral blueprint: Maps thinking patterns that predict paradigm-shifting work: Scientific rigor, assumption challenging, intellectual humility, learning breadth, novel combinations and more.
Organizational impact: Captures force-multiplier traits and collaborative value traditional assessments miss.
Discovery Edge: Quantifies how visible this talent is to traditional methods - your competitive intelligence advantage.
Dual-layer scoring provides strategic flexibility:
- TQ or Potential TQ (PTQ): Transformative potential. What the candidate could be.
- Validated TQ (VTQ): Evidence-based minimum.
The gap between PTQ and VTQ indicates early-stage exceptional talent or profiles ahead of recognition. High gaps can be the best hidden gems, but also require more careful human review.
