Employers who want the best talent measure character, not just skills or experience. KANNY's unique character insights allow candidates to demonstrate that they have the traits that are most valuable to your company and team.

KANNY's independently verified Character Check goes beyond skills tests, resumes and reference checks, so you can hire the kind of talent that delivers results and strengthens culture.

While these resources can be helpful, they are limited as to what they can uncover. And when the candidate provides all the information, recruiters and hiring managers are left to uncover the truth. KANNY’s verifiable, confidential insights from people with firsthand insights into the candidate’s character add a data set that is outside the candidate’s direct influence.

We focus on character, not just past performance. The report is available to both the candidate and the potential employer. It captures 360 degree feedback spanning a whole career, not just a few handpicked career champions. Insights support hiring as well as growth and development post-hire.

KANNY provides a powerful starting point for uncovering a candidate’s character. Interviewers use the KANNY Report to zero in on verifiable character strengths and weaknesses. Understanding how a candidate’s colleagues rate their character is a new and effective way to identify top performers.

Great talent development relies on accurate feedback mechanisms for areas of performance that matter most to the organization. Your team's character is the most important factor in its long-term success. Building growth plans to develop character will help your people reach their full professional potential.

We identify people who have worked with the candidate and gather their first-hand character insights. We aggregate and analyze the reviewers' feedback and relationship with the candidate to produce a KANNY Report, which generates once there are at least five verified reviews.

We cannot reliably describe our own character - it must be observed by others. So KANNY asks people with first-hand experience working with candidates for their insights. Team members, managers, and direct reports answer a specialized survey and the data is then anonymized and aggregated in our system.

KANNY is 100% opt-in and transparent. We do this process with - not to - candidates.

Yes. KANNY is a technology platform that gathers third-party opinions about a candidate's character. We comply with all applicable laws and regulations, and protect the privacy of the reviewer and the dignity of the candidate. For more information, visit our Trust Center.
