What nobody measures

The interview went great.
The hire didn't. Here's why.

78% of roles are misframed
before the search begins

The role you posted is not the role you need

In 78% of our engagements, the two-week discovery process reveals a fundamental misframe. The job description... often written in 23 minutes, increasingly with ChatGPT... describes a role that no longer exists. Nobody mapped the environment, the team dynamics, or what success actually looks like at 90 days. The description attracts the wrong people before the search even begins.

45min

The interview measured charm, not capability

The average hiring interview is 45 minutes. In that time, you learn how someone talks on camera, how they handle small talk, and whether you would enjoy lunch with them. You learn nothing about how they think under pressure, how they collaborate with your team, or whether they can actually do the work.

Work sample tests predict job performance three times better than unstructured interviews.

Schmidt & Hunter, 1998 — Psychological Bulletin

$240K lost

The wrong hire doesn't just leave

The average cost of a bad mid-level hire is $240,000 in salary, lost productivity, rehiring, and team disruption. But the real damage is harder to measure.

The teammate who saw it coming and wasn't heard? They're already interviewing elsewhere.

One wrong hire can change the social dynamics of an entire organization. Most agencies guarantee 60 to 90 days and disappear. That guarantee expires before the problems even surface.

3

hours of your time is all we need to change this.

Most founders spend 40+ hours per hire. You give us three.

And then something changes.

The hard path that works

Nine things have to go right
for a hire to actually last.

Most companies get four of them. The other five take too long, so they get skipped. We built a process that covers all nine... and only needs three hours of your time to start. We call it discovery-led hiring.

01
Role definition Skipped. The job description is written in 23 minutes, often with ChatGPT, and posted the same day. We ask 30-40 questions and run discovery calls with your leadership team to understand what the seat actually needs.
02
Environment mapping Skipped. Nobody maps the team dynamics, culture, or constraints before writing the job post. We send a Team Perspective Survey to 4-5 people in your company to understand the real environment, not just the founder's version.
03
Work Driver profiling Skipped. No one identifies what behavioral drivers predict success in this specific role and environment. We identify the 32 behavioral drivers that predict success in this specific role, then match candidates against them.
04
Source targeting Post on one or two job boards and wait for applications to come in. Reactive, not proactive. We source proactively across 8+ channels, targeting candidates who match the behavioral profile we built in discovery.
05
Candidate screening Resume keyword matching. Ten-minute phone screens. Filter by credentials, not capability. Candidates receive a 29-page Job Deck with full transparency. Those who are not aligned self-select out before we invest in discovery calls.
06
Work Simulation Skipped entirely. Candidates are evaluated on how well they interview, not how well they work. Candidates complete paid, bespoke simulations using real problems from your business. You see how they actually think and solve problems.
07
Team calibration Skipped. The team meets the candidate for the first time during a rushed interview with no aligned expectations. We align your team's expectations before anyone meets a candidate. Every interviewer knows what to look for and why.
08
Offer management Verbal offer, hope they accept. No structured negotiation or candidate packaging. We support offer negotiation with market data and candidate context, ensuring both sides feel confident in the terms.
09
Integration support The agency disappears after placement. If problems surface at month three, that is your problem. We monitor the placement for 120 days. If something is not working, we address it. If the hire fails, we replace them.

Nine things have to go right. Here is what that looks like in practice.

The same pool of talent runs through fundamentally different processes. One is built for speed. The other is built to last.

The hard work does not have to be yours.

"Most of our clients already know what they need. They just haven't had someone take the time to help them see it clearly."
Josh Hill, Founder & Discovery Lead, SuperHired

The process

You give us three hours.
Here's what we do.

01

Role Discovery

Weeks 1-2

We ask 40+ questions and map your environment against 32 Work Drivers. We learn what the seat actually needs, not what a job description says it needs.

02

Role Design

Week 3

We deliver your Right Person Profile, Job Map, Salary Benchmark, and Hiring Blueprint. These are yours to keep regardless of what happens next.

03

Candidate Search

Weeks 3-7

Our tools source candidates across 8+ channels. Our recruiters build the relationships that close. We're looking for fit, not filling a funnel.

04

Work Evaluation

Weeks 7-9

Candidates complete paid Work Simulations using real problems from your business. You see how they actually think and solve problems, not how well they interview.

05

Hire and Integration

Week 10

We support offer negotiation and onboarding. Then we monitor the placement for 120 days to make sure the hire actually sticks.

Results

BabyEm's 12-year hiring struggle. Solved.

For over a decade, BabyEm's founder tried everything. Job boards, agencies, referrals, gut instinct. Every hire was a gamble, and the house kept winning.

Then she tried SuperHired and our discovery-led methodology. We spent two weeks understanding her company, her team dynamics, and what success actually looked like at 90 days.

The first placement through our process broke a 12-year pattern. The person is still there, still thriving, still making the team better.
