Recruiting and Hiring

Science and Practice

Owners are busy with customers. Hiring is critical, time-consuming, and, since applicants started writing with AI, buried in noise. We run the search end to end so you only see the people worth an interview. One published fee, no placement fee, and a weekly report so you always know where it stands.

Hiring, run for you

We find, screen, and test the candidates. You interview the finalists.

$1,750 a month per positionNo placement fee. Cancel any month. Nationwide, remote.

  • Job analysis and a posting written in plain language that the right people answer.
  • Attraction on the major job boards, premium placement, and direct outreach to people who are not looking.
  • Every applicant screened. Four of five never reach your desk.
  • Finalists tested with ELLSIx, Reasoning, and Values, read by an I‑O psychologist.
  • Phone screens, interview scripts, RefCheck reference checking, and offer guidance.
  • A weekly status report and a private portal you can open any time.

One fee for the life of the search. Hiring more than one person for the same position costs nothing extra.

Hiring Assessment Suite

Three validated assessments that predict job performance and reduce hiring risk.

Six-Factor Personality (ELLSIx)

A forced-choice personality assessment built for hiring: Emotional, Life, Learning, Social, and Interpersonal Experience plus Honesty and Humility, in a format that resists faking.

Conscientiousness alone predicts job performance across virtually all occupations1

Logical & Verbal Reasoning

Measures fluid reasoning, comprehension-knowledge, and short-term working memory based on Cattell-Horn-Carroll theory of cognitive abilities.

Cognitive ability is the single strongest predictor of job performance (r = .51)2

Values (Leadership Philosophy)

Places candidates on the control-to-empowerment spectrum based on McGregor's Theory Y / Theory X framework, so you know how a person expects to be led, and to lead, before the hire.

High-achieving managers overwhelmingly hold Theory Y beliefs3

Combined, personality + cognitive ability predict up to 65% of job performance variance2 — far more than interviews or resumes alone.
