Andrew Banks on recruiting

Instinct got you close. Now you can measure it.

Andrew Banks read people for a living at Morgan & Banks, and says they still got some wrong, because instinct however good is still a guess. A culture match puts data behind the read: who the candidate is, and how they sit against the client's best people.

What Andrew is describing

  • We read people for a living at Morgan & Banks. And we still got some wrong
  • Instinct is still a guess. Now you can measure it
  • Compono gives you the data behind the instinct: who the candidate really is, and how they fit your client's best people
  • You're not saying, I've got a feeling about this one. You're saying, here's why they fit

How a culture match works

1

Send the client a link

One link, sent by the recruiter on the desk. Nothing to install. The client passes it to their best people.

2

Their best people complete a profile

The top performers in that business answer it online in under ten minutes. Back comes a profile the client agrees reads like them.

3

Every candidate is compared to it

The comparison runs at the top end of the funnel, before a CV is screened, so the shortlist reaches the client with the fit already on it.

Common questions

It measures what instinct guesses at. Good recruiters read people well, and still get some wrong, because a read is a guess. A culture match puts a number and a reason beside the read, so you can show the client why someone fits.

A fit report per candidate: how they compare to the client's best people, the ways of working they bring, and where they differ. Plain language, one page, and you can send it ahead of the shortlist.

What Andrew says

Andrew Banks

Andrew BanksFounder of Morgan & Banks, co-founder of Talent2, investor in Compono

Recruitment has always run on instinct. You read the resume, you meet the person, you talk to the client, and good recruiters get pretty good at it. We certainly did at Morgan & Banks and Talent2, but we still got some wrong, because instinct, however good, is still a guess.

Compono gives you the data behind the instinct: who the candidate really is, and how they fit your client's best people. So you're not saying, "I've got a feeling about this one." You're saying, "Here's why they fit." That's Compono.
