Companies need people more than people need companies.

Today’s most valuable assets aren’t tangible goods. They’re ideas. Software. And algorithms. We can no longer value only the skills to make and the hands to craft. Instead, we need brains to think and people to dream. Today, our most valuable asset is talent.

Hiring has never been more important.

Competition for the best talent has never been greater. So hiring can no longer be administrative and tactical. It will become the most strategic corporate function – more so than finance, sales or marketing. The companies that harness the power of hiring will have a clear advantage.

But hiring practices are stuck in the past.

The business world has transformed. But hiring hasn’t. Today, 66% of managers regret their hiring decisions. And 46% of new hires will fail within 18 months. It’s easy to see why when hiring is based on no more than instincts, private networks and hunches.

Uncertainty is holding business leaders back.

Hiring managers don’t know what to look for. Recruiters don’t get good feedback. And business leaders don’t trust that they can move fast enough. Everyone knows there’s a problem, but not how to fix it. Without a repeatable, scalable, proven hiring solution, companies limit their true potential.
