The methodology exists because the problem is real.
Most businesses don't hire badly because they're careless. They hire badly because the standard process is built to fill roles quickly, not well. Confident interviews. Impressive CVs. A gut feeling that turned out to be wrong.
WELLPLACED was built on a different premise: that the right hire isn't found — it's determined. Through structured evidence, scored against a standard set before any candidate walks in, and matched to the specific demands of the role and the reality of the environment.
A methodology — grounded in 85 years of selection science — delivered by a practitioner who stays engaged through the first 90 days of every placement.
Because that's where most processes stop. It's where ours keeps going.

Why standard recruitment keeps failing the same businesses.
The industry is structured to fill roles quickly, not well. Contingency fees reward speed. Unstructured interviews feel productive but predict almost nothing. CV screening filters for presentation, not performance. Once someone starts, the engagement ends.
WELLPLACED was built to do it differently.
The method, and where it comes from.
The WELLPLACED Method is grounded in 85 years of organisational psychology and selection science — specifically, what actually predicts job performance versus what hiring managers believe predicts it. The gap is significant, well-documented, and almost entirely ignored by standard practice.
The methodology measures three things most processes never touch:
The right person — assessed across ten behavioural factors using structured, scored evidence. Not credentials. Not years of experience.
The right role — profiled for its real behavioural demands before a single candidate is introduced. The standard is set before bias can enter.
The right environment — mapped honestly before any assessment begins. The same person can thrive in one organisation and fail in another. Most processes don't measure this at all.
Every candidate is assessed against those frameworks. The output is a documented determination — not a shortlist of people who looked good on paper.
What WELLPLACED is — and isn't.
WELLPLACED is not a recruitment agency. It is a behavioural placement methodology — structured, scored, and engaged through the first 90 days of every placement. That's where most hiring processes stop. It's where ours keeps going.
The final decision is always the client's. The evidence is always ours.
We work with growing businesses — typically 5 to 50 people — making hires that matter.
“The research is unambiguous: a bad placement doesn't end at the departure. It compounds — in team morale, manager time, client relationships, and the cost of starting again. The only point to intervene is before the offer is made”
