VERDICT

Should I use The Predictive Index?

The Predictive Index offers talent optimization software, workshops, and expert consulting. Design and execute a winning talent strategy with PI. - predictiveindex.com

Depends. Buy it if you're a mid-size or larger org hiring at volume and willing to invest in workshops and consulting to act on the results. Skip it if you're a small team with occasional hires or want transparent, self-serve pricing.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 30+ public sources; pricing details are scarce because PI sells via quote.
