AXiOM's Philosophy

Today, the world produces exponentially increasing amounts of data. In spite of incredible improvements in technology, it remains incredibly perplexing to derive meaning from this data. This added noise makes decision-making more challenging than ever.​

At AXiOM, we leverage expert human interviewing experience, harnessing countless innate empathetic skills, to gather information that even the most privacy-infringing commercial technology cannot.

​We are committed to providing nuanced, context-driven reports, informed by the realities of all major stakeholders, so that our clients can take action, armed with the confidence that they know what they need to know.
Our Beliefs
What are AXiOM’s first principles?
  • Employees are a business’s greatest asset
  • Every organization has individual, situation-specific needs
  • Professionalism, entailing integrity, confidentiality, discretion and respect, are the only means by which an individual can consistently acquire information from others about sensitive topics
Our Values
What do our values mean in practice?
  • Understanding the individual, organizational and social circumstances of an employee can shed light on which factors played the largest role in their performance
  • Every talent-related decision should be supported by detailed, context-relevant information
  • Expert-led, collegial yet purposeful conversations are the best tool for gathering actionable information from people
The AXiOM Way
How we live up to our values
  • We emphasize a 360-perspective by speaking with direct reports, peers and superiors from a variety of positions, to identify core-characteristics and their persistence across situations
  • Axiom collaborates closely with its clients to fully understand what they are looking for, the organizational environment, and the role they are trying to fill, then tailors research process to the specifics of the situation
  • We use a wide range of questions to create a profile that can glean deeper truths about the subject, looking beyond the worn, scripted responses many people provide automatically
