JobSwitch Matchingbox: Persönlichkeit entscheidet beim Jobwechsel

This is a short interview (JobGenius with Ben) about the "Matching Box" tool used in the JobSwitch format to match candidates to jobs based on personality. Ben explains the rationale: technical skills matter but are transient, whereas personality and values (Big Five/OCEAN) are more enduring and central to finding a role that fits. The Matching Box uses a career-oriented Big Five questionnaire (roughly 120 items in full, with a shortened public version) that maps five main factors and about 30 sub-facets to job environments. Openness is highlighted as important for people willing to switch careers; Neuroticism (emotional stability) is treated cautiously as a moderating/eligibility variable. Matchingbox ran for ~7 years, paused during COVID, and a shortened free test is now available under the name "Talents."
