Quality of Hire Advisory

Most organizations still measure time to fill and cost per hire, then wonder why the wrong people keep walking in the door. A wrong hire is trapped capacity. The cost isn’t just the salary in the seat. It’s the recruiting, the onboarding and training, the lower-quality products and weaker decisions, and the capacity the company is paying for and not getting. Every bit of it comes out of profitability. I help organizations find, hire and keep top talent, including hard-to-find technical talent, using techniques drawn from the military, industry and psychology.
