Data behind every recommendation.
Judgment gets a search close. Data makes it defensible. Vandercroft offers a validated behavioral and cognitive assessment layer on any engagement, administered by a certified practitioner, so hiring decisions rest on evidence, not just interviews and instinct.
01
Before the search
We start by defining what success in the role actually looks like behaviorally. Your hiring team aligns on a target profile before we contact a single candidate. This alone eliminates most of the misalignment that stalls searches.
02
During the search
Finalists complete a short, scientifically validated assessment measuring behavioral drives and cognitive ability. Results are mapped against the target profile and delivered alongside our reference work, so you see fit on paper and fit in the data side by side.
03
After the hire
Assessment insight does not expire at the offer letter. We provide the hiring manager with a working guide to the new executive: how they communicate, how they decide, where friction with the existing team is likely, and how to manage through it in the first 90 days.
