The hidden cost
Despite decades of organizational research, many companies continue to over-rely on keyword matching and heuristics like confidence and pedigree in the team-building processes.
These inputs have low predictive validity, which inflates turnover and can systematically overlook qualified candidates who meet role requirements but don’t fit narrow stereotypes.
Built with intention
I built placementist around findings from meta-analyses, peer-reviewed literature, and deliberate reflection on what actually works in industry practice - bridging science and business reality through a human-first lens.
In a field where gut-feel decisions cost companies millions, evidence-based methods replace unreliable practices with validated predictors that reduce mis-hire rates and create better career matches.
