Andrew Banks on people

You measure everything.
Except your people.

Andrew Banks spent thirty years in the people business and co-founded Morgan & Banks and Talent2. In four short videos he explains what Compono measures that most HR systems don't: who someone is before you hire them, your culture team by team, and whether your people can actually do the job.

Who Andrew Banks is

Thirty years of reading people for a living.

Andrew Banks co-founded Morgan & Banks and Talent2, and spent thirty years in the people business. As he puts it in the Hire video: "We read people for a living at Morgan & Banks and Talent2, and even we got some wrong."

These four videos are his case for measuring your people the way you already measure revenue, pipeline and headcount.

Your systems handle the paperwork. The people questions go unanswered.

Most HR tools manage process risk well: applications tracked, surveys sent, training logged. The expensive part is the people insight risk underneath, where nobody can say who will fit, why a score moved or whether trained means capable.

Common questions

Andrew Banks co-founded Morgan & Banks and Talent2, and spent thirty years in the people business. In these videos he explains what Compono measures and why it matters to any business that relies on its people.

Compono is a workforce intelligence platform: an applicant tracking system (Hire), an engagement and culture platform (Engage) and a learning management system (LMS) (Develop). Each handles the process work you would expect, and adds the people insight most HR tools can't give you.

Who someone is before you hire them, how work actually gets done team by team against the culture your strategy needs, and whether your people can do the job. Most systems record the process: applications, survey scores and course completions.

Yes. Each product works on its own, and each gets sharper with the others. Your culture read from Engage becomes the benchmark Hire ranks candidates against, and what Hire learns at hiring shapes onboarding in Develop.

Compono is built and hosted in Australia and New Zealand, and Compono is ISO 27001 certified.
