Question 1

What is B5.ly?

Accepted Answer

B5.ly is a Big Five-based assessment and insights platform that turns results into practical, workplace-friendly guidance for hiring, coaching, teams, and leadership.

Question 2

How should I interpret the results?

Accepted Answer

Results describe tendencies (not certainties) and should always be interpreted in role and environment context. Focus on patterns across traits, then translate them into observable behaviors, interview prompts, and coaching actions.

Question 3

Can I use B5.ly for hiring?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when used responsibly. Use results to structure interviews and onboarding, not as an automated pass/fail decision. Combine with skills/experience checks and structured interviews, and follow your local HR/compliance requirements.

Question 4

Is this a clinical or medical assessment?

Accepted Answer

No. B5.ly is designed for workplace insights and development conversations, not for diagnosis or mental health evaluation.

Question 5

Portal vs API: what should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Most organizations start with the portal for invites, reports, and guided workflows. Product teams can integrate using the Headless API. The right option depends on volume, workflow, and how embedded you want the experience to be.

Question 6

What languages are supported?

Accepted Answer

The portal UI and this Knowledge Base are available in English, Spanish, and Arabic.

Question 7

How do you handle privacy and consent?

Accepted Answer

Use results with clear purpose, strong access control, and participant transparency. During onboarding we can share vendor/security details and align on retention, deletion, and access expectations for your workflow.

Question 8

How do I become a partner?

Accepted Answer

Request a demo and tell us your customer segment, expected volume, and whether you need portal workflows or API integration. We will guide you through onboarding and enablement.
