Andrew Banks on recruiting

Four boxes. The money is in two of them.

Andrew Banks sorts every candidate into four boxes. Two are easy and everyone gets them right. The other two decide the year: the beautiful resume that falls over in month six, and the one every keyword filter bins who turns out to be a dead match for the client.

What Andrew is describing

  • Every candidate lands in one of four boxes
  • Looks right but is wrong: the beautiful resume that falls over in month six
  • Looks wrong but is right: the one every keyword filter bins, who's a dead match for your client's best people
  • A resume only reads one axis. Compono reads the other

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

Looks right and is right, looks wrong and is wrong, looks right but is wrong, and looks wrong but is right. The first two are easy. The money is in the last two, because a resume reads only one of the two axes.

Every candidate completes a short behavioural profile and is compared to the client's best people. That is the axis a resume cannot show, and it is where the beautiful resume that falls over in month six gets caught early.

What Andrew says

Every candidate lands in one of four boxes. Looks wrong and is wrong. Looks right and is right. They're the easy two, and everyone gets them.

The money's in the other two. Looks right but is wrong: the beautiful resume that falls over in month six. That's called a mistake. And looks wrong but is right: the one every keyword filter bins, who's a dead match for your client's best people, if you could only read their brain chemistry.

A resume only reads one axis. Compono reads the other. Find the ones who look wrong but are right, and make more placements. Compono.
