Candidate Selection and Talent Assessment
Evidence-based selection is a discipline of data, not intuition. We provide US mid-market leaders with rigorous assessment frameworks to secure high-impact talent.
Strategic Talent Assessment
Protecting the $520,000 Investment
Hiring for leadership is not a personnel cost; it is a major capital investment. With a US overhead multiplier of 1.3x and a standard 5-year tenure, the investment risk for one mid-management role exceeds $520,000.
Most organizations fail in candidate selection due to Present Bias. A "False Positive" (Alpha Error) occurs when a candidate presents high competence during a standard interview but lacks the actual psychological traits to lead.
4.5x Predictive Accuracy
Scientific meta-analyses prove that highly structured talent assessment offers 4.5 times the predictive power of traditional conversational interviews.
