The Problem

The Wrong Hire Costs More Than You Think.

Most hiring decisions are made on gut instinct, a polished resume, and how well someone interviewed. That's not a process - it's a gamble.

The average cost of a bad hire is estimated at 1–5× the role's annual salary. For a manager at $80K, that's up to $400,000 in lost productivity, training, morale damage, and recruiting fees when you have to start over.

The problem isn't that you hired the wrong person. It's that you never defined what "right" looked like before you started.

What Goes Wrong
✕ No clear definition of what success looks like in the role
✕ Job postings that attract volume, not the right candidates
✕ Interviews that reward charm instead of revealing competence
✕ No behavioral data - hiring decisions based on feel alone
✕ New hire flounders because onboarding was improvised

What's Included

Five Deliverables.
One Complete Hiring System.

SmartHire™ gives you everything you need to define the right hire, attract the right candidates, and make a confident, data-backed decision.

1

Role Profile & Success Blueprint

We start by building a clear, written picture of what success looks like in this role - responsibilities, KPIs, team dynamics, and the traits that make someone thrive here. This document becomes the foundation for everything else.

2

Behavioral Benchmark

Using validated behavioral science, we build a data-driven target profile for the role - defining the behavioral and cognitive patterns that predict success. This becomes your measuring stick for every candidate you evaluate.

3

Optimized Job Posting

Most job postings attract everyone - and therefore attract no one in particular. We write a targeted posting that speaks directly to the candidate you actually want, filtering out poor fits before the first conversation.

4

Structured Interview Guide

A role-specific interview guide with behavioral questions designed to surface real competencies - not rehearsed answers. Includes scoring criteria so every interviewer is evaluating on the same standard, every time.

5

Candidate Assessment Reports

We run behavioral and cognitive assessments on up to 3 finalist candidates, comparing each against your benchmark. You receive a clear report and a debrief so you walk into the final decision with data - not just instinct.

The Process

From Kick-Off to Decision
in Two Weeks.

SmartHire™ is built for speed without cutting corners. Here's exactly how it works.

01

Define

Kick-off call with your hiring manager. We map the role, the team, and what success looks like in 90 days.

02

Build

We develop the benchmark, job posting, and interview guide. All delivered within the first week.

03

Assess

Finalists complete behavioral and cognitive assessments. We compare each against the benchmark and prepare reports.

04

Decide

1-hour debrief with your team. We walk through the data, answer questions, and help you make a confident final call.
