What gets audited

Three weeks of deep work. The output is a written diagnostic with priorities and a 3-6-12 month implementation roadmap.

Sourcing channels

Where do candidates actually come from vs. where you invest budget? Channel effectiveness analysed against hire and retention.

Screening filter

What gets rejected before manager review and on what basis? Often the biggest source of unconscious bias.

Interview format

Is the format predictive of on-the-job performance, or does it reward presentation skills? Calibration audit across managers.

Offer and onboarding

Acceptance rate analysis, first 30/60/90 day experience, manager handoff quality. Often where good candidates leak.

Retention drivers

Who leaves in the first year and why. Exit interview synthesis plus correlation with hiring profile.

Metrics audit

What gets tracked, what doesn't, what should. Output: redesigned scorecard for the function.
