Most hiring processes are optimised for speed.
This one is optimised for accuracy.
There is more than 85 years of research telling us exactly which inputs predict job performance and which do not. Most businesses are using the weakest ones. WELLPLACED is built around the strongest.
The problem with standard hiring
A typical process asks the wrong questions in the wrong order. A job description written from memory. CVs screened for presentation. An interview conducted without a scoring framework. A decision made on impression. A reference check that confirms what was already decided.
The role is never profiled for its real behavioural demands. The environment is never assessed. The candidate is never scored against an anchored standard — just compared to whoever else was in the room.
The research has known this for decades. Most businesses haven't caught up.
What WELLPLACED does differently
The methodology operates in three layers — environment, role, candidate — assessed in that order, before any hiring decision is made.
The environment comes first. The business is mapped across nine dimensions of culture before any candidate is considered. Not the aspirational version — the honest one. Environment fit predicts retention as strongly as individual ability. Most processes don't measure it at all.
The role is defined in behavioural terms. A Role Behaviour Profile is built before sourcing begins. Not a job description — a structured brief defining what the role actually demands behaviourally, weighted across ten factors. The standard is set before any candidate is in the room.
The candidate is assessed against evidence, not impression. We build the candidate pool from the Role Brief — not a job description. Every candidate regardless of origin then goes through a structured behavioural interview — scored across ten factors, weighted for the specific role. Evidence notes written before scores are assigned. The output is a documented Fit Report, not a gut feeling dressed up as a recommendation.
The right person. The right role. The right environment.
