None of this measures how someone will actually perform.
Tempus is a cognitive screening tool for deliberately selective hiring funnels
where raw throughput matters more than
culture fit
collaborative potential
any other cosmetic attribute
Candidates complete a timed cognitive assessment measuring reasoning speed, abstraction, and mental throughput.
Results are scored against your custom threshold. Only those who pass move forward.
You get clean data. No feedback loops. No second chances. Just signal.
Founders making their first 5 critical hires
Funds filtering thousands to hire one
Operators tired of "potential"
Teams where thinking speed matters more than storytelling
Firms where performance isn't a vibe
Hiring funnels that are deliberately selective by design
We're not here to help you hire more people.
We're here to help you filter out the ones who shouldn't be there.
What does Tempus actually measure?
Reasoning speed, abstraction, and short-term cognitive throughput under pressure.
Can candidates prepare for it?
No. And that's the point.
Is this fair?
It's consistent.
Can we customize the test?
You can set the bar. We handle the rest.
Can we use this as a first step?
That's the only place it belongs.
Who sees the results?
Only you. Candidates don't get feedback.
What roles is this for?
Any role where mental clarity matters more than personality.
