Fit that goes beyond the CV

We assess candidates on six motivational factors – Fit, Family, Freedom, Fortune, Fun, Future – to ensure they’ll thrive in your organisation, not just accept the offer.

Embedded with accountability

Expectations, Engagement, Execution, Efficiency, Enablement, Experience. Our embedded recruiters don’t just sit in your team – they deliver against a framework you can measure.

Why Hiring Is Broken
(and What Companies Need Instead)

Hiring is broken because the recruitment industry still operates on outdated assumptions:
hiring.

Companies outsource critical hiring decisions to vendors who carry little to no accountability, rely on vague processes, and optimise for speed or volume rather than outcomes.


Mis-hires. Inflated costs. Delayed projects. Leadership gaps that stall execution.

Most recruitment firms claim to be “data-driven,” “AI-enabled,” or “true partners.”

In reality, the market has converged around the same language and promises. When everyone says the same thing, nothing is differentiated—and nothing is trustworthy.

At its core, the problem is risk.

Companies absorb all of it, while recruiters absorb none. Guarantees are short or non-existent. Processes are inconsistent. And when hires fail, businesses pay the price in lost time, productivity, and momentum.

Hiring is broken because no partner truly takes ownership of the result.


Until now.
