HIRING TECHNOLOGY
Hiring Sucks.
It’s no one’s fault, all fingers down,
resume-centric hiring is just plain broken
Resume-centric hiring is costly, inaccurate and running on borrowed time.
Here’s proof about why resumes fail:
Resumes Don’t Predict Successful Hires
Resumes Don’t Predict Successful Hires
Resumes list education, training and work experience, which are actually low predictors of success in a role.
Leading research now points to Behavioral Traits and Attitudes, Critical Thinking and Reasoning as the biggest predictors of an applicant’s success in a role.

Hunter & Rhonda Hunter, “Validity and Utility of Alternative Predictors of Job Performance”, Psychological Bulletin, Vol. 96, No. 1, p. 90; Robert P. Tett, Douglas N.

Resumes are Too Easy to Write, Too Easy to Tailor
Online templates, AI support and endless advice means every applicant can build the “perfect” resume.
You get hundreds of applicants for a single role, and unparalleled pressure to find the right hire. Resumes make applying easier. That’s not a good thing.
Lies, damn Resume lies
Being dishonest on a resume is damn easy. Applicants know how to shine up their strengths, bend the truth, and game your ATS tools.
The resume gets the job but the applicant doesn’t fit the role. Another resume hired and person fired.
So, Resume-Centric Hiring is Broken
Reject The Resume – The Future Is Fit
What is Fit?
Fills a position ≠ Fits a position
Fit First helps recruiters go beyond filling a position. When roles align with people’s natural strengths – performance is dramatically improved. We call this fit. Extracting and understanding fit requires behavioral science.
Proven Performance Predictor - the three P's of Behavioral Science
Fit First patented technology leverages over 3 decades of research and results using behavioral science to improve hiring outcomes. Quickly predict which applicants will perform based on their comprehensive fit for your open role.
How Fit Replaces the Resume
You post a job online; instead of uploading a resume – your applicants click a link.
This launches a Fit Predictor Assessment that’s unique to your open position and your company.
The applicant completes the assessment and then submits it.
At this point, if you choose, they can upload a resume and cover letter too.
You see a FitScore® out of 100 for every applicant. You sort applicants by FitScore® in seconds.
Now, instead of a resume, you’ve got an indepth profile of each applicant to explore and understand.

Fit First offers standard APIs for most Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and can be customized to take on any (or all) parts of your organization’s recruitment process.
“With each new job posting, that big pile of resumés is quickly narrowed down before I even see it. The software seamlessly screens candidates for the right traits needed in this call center environment”
M. AkroydCustomer Service Manager, City Wide Communications 
"It's very efficient and streamlines the recruitment and hiring process for non-HR directors. We trust that the FitScore® will accurately identify the candidates that should progress to the interview stage."
