About Star Behaviors

Where Predictive Hiring Begins

Star Behaviors didn’t start with a product.
It started with a conviction—and a leader bold enough to challenge the status quo.

In 2014, veteran driver recruiter and trucking industry expert TJ Graff was introduced to the concept of Predictive Hiring using behavioral science. It wasn’t another gimmick or HR trend—it was a proven method of identifying the qualities, values, and behaviors that predict long-term success in a role.

That insight led to a bigger question:
What if trucking companies could finally stop hiring reactively and start hiring intentionally?
By 2015, the vision was born.

After years of research, testing, and field experience, TJ founded Star Behaviors in 2019 with one mission in mind:
To help companies—starting with trucking fleets—hire people who stay, perform, and succeed.

In 2022, Star Behaviors launched its first Behavioral Assessment for Truck Drivers, built specifically for the demands, pressures, and realities of the transportation industry. This wasn’t a generic personality quiz—it was a job-specific tool designed to give recruiters real insight into who was a true behavioral match.

By 2023–2024, the results validated everything the vision promised:

  • Turnover went down
  • Safety scores improved
  • Productivity rose
  • And stronger fleets began to emerge

In 2025, the company introduced StarLogic, a fully integrated assessment platform, along with StarCareer, an initiative that supports driver schools and workforce programs in preparing quality, career-minded candidates from day one.

Today, Star Behaviors is redefining what it means to hire the right person—whether for a seat behind the wheel, a dock bay, or a diesel bay.

At the core of it all is a simple but disruptive belief:

All points of profitability point back to the point of hire.

That’s why our assessments aren’t just predictive—they’re purpose-built, tested in the trenches, and tailored for the real world of transportation.

We don’t guess.
We measure.
We deliver clarity where others deliver chaos.

Success isn’t a mystery.

It’s in the Stars.
