Matching is ‘fit’ but scored with voice-behavior science

We translate audio into a behavioral profile to predict performance, compatibility and risk.

How it works

How we make connections

Our process and tech are built to uncover the strengths that matter, prioritizing true compatibility over generic credentials.

  1. Step 01

    Start with the people

    Every match starts by listening to you, your team, and the candidate. From just 30 seconds of audio, we can extract 100M+ vocal biomarkers and trace them to 76 traits.

  2. Step 02

    Map out behavior

    Once your unique signals are distilled into specific traits, we build your, your team’s, and the candidate’s maps.

  3. Step 03

    The match

    We combine the insights from each map and score the success potential of the match. From performance and work relationship to risks and red flags.

The science

The science behind sound

We don’t just believe voice reveals more than a résumé: we’ve built the science to prove it. Here’s what we analyze to understand how someone thinks, acts, and communicates.

  • Prosody

    Pitch variability, speech rate, pause length. Reveals emotional regulation, confidence and stress response.

  • Linguistics

    Lexical diversity, syntactic complexity, abstract vs. concrete language. Reveals need for cognition, clarity of thought and problem-solving style.

  • Interaction

    Turn-taking, hedging, response to challenge. Reveals assertiveness, empathy and how someone handles pushback.

What’s possible

One signal. Many surfaces.

The same behavioral intelligence powering Mappa hires can guide team building, customer matching, coaching, or any decision where understanding people matters.

FAQ

The science is complex, but the answers aren’t. If yours isn’t here, let’s talk.

How long before I get candidates for a role?

Within 72 hours you’ll receive a shortlist of top-fit candidates based on their behavior alignment, experience, and communication style.

What if none of them feel right?

We’ll keep working. We recalibrate based on your feedback and deliver a refreshed shortlist until you find the right match. You don’t pay until you hire.

Is there a minimum commitment?

No. Try us on a single role. Month-to-month or one-time fee, your choice.

How do you ensure cultural fit?

Behavioral voice analysis maps how a person actually communicates, decides, and collaborates — the signals that drive real cultural fit, not the surface ones a résumé can show.

Can I reject anyone from the shortlist?

Absolutely. The shortlist is a recommendation, not an obligation. You move forward only with people you’re excited about.
