STOP GUESSING WHAT MOTIVATES YOUR PEOPLE. START KNOWING.

The only platform that combines AI coaching, predictive retention, and scientific hiring, all powered by Motivation DNA.

WHAT WE DO

We help organizations make better decisions by revealing what motivates every employee, candidate, and leader. Our Motivation DNA assessment shows what drives someone at work. Sherpa AI turns that data into clear guidance you can use immediately—for hiring, leadership, engagement, and culture. So your people strategies work in practice, not just on paper.

Collaborative Office Meeting about Motivation
TalentMotives' Motivation DNA

Motivation DNA provides a deep and accurate insight into how someone works, what energizes or drains them, how they communicate, and the kind of culture in which they thrive. When you understand motivation at this level, work becomes more human—and decisions become clearer, faster, and far more aligned with real performance potential.
