What We Do - Fit First

If the fit’s not right, nothing else matters.
You’ve seen it time and again, maybe even in your own company. Someone with a great background and all the experience and credentials in the world, simply not able to deliver what was needed. Not because they were a slouch or they didn’t want to deliver… but something major was out.

Backed by hard evidence
The cause-and-effect relationship between fit, employee engagement, and business results is well documented by a mass of research over the last fifteen years by companies much smarter than us in that field.

Measure what matters
Simply stated, the most reliable predictor of business results is the level of engagement in your employee group… and the only way to set the stage for engagement is to pay attention to the four critical aspects of fit:

Fish where the fish are
A funny thing dawned on us as we watched our clients’ success in the early days… by removing the résumé from the process, they actually started attracting better candidates.

Makes sense when you think about it – solid, reliable performers generally don’t take the time to keep their résumé current; they rarely look for work because they are too busy being productive.

By removing the résumé requirement, our clients found themselves actually tapping into a very different – and far more desirable – segment of the workforce: better performers who may not be completely in love with their current situation, but who aren’t out of love enough to be actively looking elsewhere.

If this is the pool you want to fish in, you’d best use the right bait.

Linking your People to your P&L
As a business leader, you’re responsible for establishing the company’s vision and direction, and then to break that into the building blocks of strategies and tactics that will get you there. That much you can control. Where you lose control, and where you become most vulnerable, is execution.

That’s the variable that CEOs tell us keeps them up at night: does the organization have the capacity to deliver on the plan?

Successful execution, of course, is predicated on having the right people in the right roles, focused on the right things.

We have an app for that.
