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.

Rooted in These Values
