Optional Add-On
Hiring Risk
Assessment.
Reduce expensive hiring mistakes with data-driven insight.
Our optional Hiring Risk Assessment uses world-class predictive tools to evaluate candidates beyond the interview and the resume - giving you an evidence-based view of hiring risk before you make an offer.
Enquire About This ServiceThe Cost of a Bad Hire
A bad hire at the senior level can cost an organisation two to three times the annual salary of the role - when you factor in recruitment costs, onboarding, lost productivity, team disruption, and doing it all again.
Interviews and CVs only tell part of the story. Candidates who interview well do not always perform well. And candidates who would be outstanding performers can be overlooked because they do not present as polished in an interview setting.
The Hiring Risk Assessment gives you objective, data-driven insight to complement what you see in the interview room.
What Traditional Hiring Misses
Whether the candidate will actually perform in this specific role
Integrity and reliability indicators that do not surface in interviews
How quickly they learn and adapt to new challenges
Whether they take ownership or deflect when things get difficult
The likelihood they will leave prematurely
What It Evaluates
The Hiring Risk Assessment uses validated, predictive tools to evaluate candidates across six key dimensions.
Performance Suitability
Evaluates the likelihood that the candidate will perform effectively in the specific role, based on behavioural indicators and predictive data.
Integrity Indicators
Assesses honesty, reliability, and ethical behaviour - critical for roles involving trust, financial responsibility, or sensitive information.
Learning Agility
Measures the candidate's ability to learn from experience, adapt to new challenges, and apply lessons in unfamiliar situations.
Decision Quality
Evaluates how the candidate approaches decision-making under pressure, complexity, and ambiguity - and whether they make sound judgements.
Ownership Behaviours
Assesses the candidate's tendency to take responsibility, follow through on commitments, and own outcomes rather than deflect.
Turnover Risk
Predicts the likelihood that the candidate will leave the role prematurely, helping you avoid the cost and disruption of early turnover.
What It Does Not Measure
The Hiring Risk Assessment is not a cultural fit tool. It does not attempt to measure organisational or cultural fit - that is something we assess through structured behavioural interviewing and reference checking as part of our broader Hiring Assurance Process.
The assessment focuses specifically on predicting individual performance, integrity, and retention risk. It answers the question: "Is this person likely to perform well and stay?" - not "Will they fit in with the team?"
Who It Is Most Valuable For
The Hiring Risk Assessment is an optional add-on to our standard Hiring Assurance Process. It is most valuable for roles where the cost of a bad hire is high and the stakes justify a deeper level of evaluation.
Executive and senior leadership appointments
Financial services and fiduciary roles
Client-facing and relationship management roles
Sales and business development positions
Leadership and people management roles
Difficult-to-replace or specialist positions
