Research transfer

Developed from the founders' research transfer, the Empion-Method quantifies corporate culture and value-based fit.

The Empion-Method follows an ideal-typical process of test construction and product development according to Kemper - based on psychometrics. Manhattan Distance-Optimized Data Transformation enables precise profile matching between companies and talent.

Based on extensive research and analysis of labor market trends, the approach has been empirically verified and now forms the foundation of Empion.

The 8 pillars of the Empion-Method

The culture analysis captures both objective characteristics and subjective preferences in an interpersonal context. Based on the responses, the talent is classified according to cultural typology along eight cultural dimensions. These culture types systematically map different values, beliefs and personality traits.
