Improving the Odds: How Core Helps You Make Better Hiring Decisions

Hiring isn’t just about checking the right boxes — it’s about bringing in people who will thrive in the role, integrate into your team, and grow with your organization. Like baseball before the era of Moneyball, hiring has long relied on intuition over insight. But just as analytics transformed baseball, data can transform hiring decisions.

That’s where Core, our new pre-hire assessment for individual contributor roles, comes in. Core equips hiring teams with objective, actionable insights that lead to better decisions and fewer costly missteps.

What Core Delivers

Using Core means you’re not just hiring with more information—you’re hiring with the right kind of information. Here’s how Core helps organizations like yours improve outcomes:

Reduce Turnover & Improve Probation Outcomes

• Core helps identify whether a candidate’s work style and preferences align with the role and team.
• The interview questions in the Core report direct hiring managers to probe deeper in areas that often lead to poor performance or early exits — before a hire is made.

Boost Performance & Engagement from Day One

• Core uncovers what motivates each candidate, allowing managers to tailor their onboarding approach to drive early performance.
• The report includes onboarding tips that help managers support new hires to overcome early challenges and ramp up faster.

Strengthen Team Dynamics

• Bringing in someone new can shift team chemistry. Core helps you anticipate and plan for how a candidate’s communication and collaboration style will impact your existing team, so you can make smarter, more harmonious hiring decisions.

Support Long-Term Development

• Hiring isn’t just about the now—it’s about the future. Core provides development insights that help managers and HR teams build tailored growth plans aligned to each person’s style and aspirations, streamlining the path to retention and advancement.

Think of It Like Raising Your Batting Average

No hiring process is perfect—human behavior is too complex. But Core is designed to improve your odds, like a batter improving their average over the course of a season.

Each time you hire, Core gives you clear, evidence-based insights into the candidate’s motivation, problem-solving, independence, and work pace—critical success factors in most individual contributor roles. The goal isn’t perfection, but fewer misses, more consistency, and greater confidence in your hiring choices.

Make Smarter Comparisons with Benchmarking

Core’s easy-to-read reports include benchmarking capabilities, allowing you to compare candidates against top performers you’ve already assessed. It’s a simple, powerful way to add objectivity and consistency to your hiring process.

Better Data. Better Decisions

By integrating Core into your hiring workflow, you reduce risk, gain clarity, and make more confident decisions—leading to better hires, stronger teams, and faster growth.
