We started HiringSmart because of the many people we met who were unhappy at work as a result of being hired into the wrong job. And because we had clients that were spending lots of money to bring experienced people into their organizations - people who weren’t delivering because they didn’t fit with the culture. We really wanted to fix this problem.
We help employers see things about their people and their hiring practices they’ve never seen before. It’s like we start a "knowledge chain reaction" in their company where everyday they learn something new that makes them smarter about their hiring and their people. They see very quickly how our approach has positive results for the people they hire and the overall company.
We’re very different than the other hiring systems out there - we don’t look for the right key words in a candidate’s résumé or where they’ve worked before - we find out what matters at each client’s workplace and then we help them measure it in potential candidates. This is what predicts fit and even candidates are starting to get this.
This is not the business flavour of the month - it’s about changing the way companies hire across North America. It’s about changing the way people come together to create value in the workforce. It’s that big.
