Make your next critical hire with clearer evidence.
TIE applies decision science to your final hiring decision - evaluating finalists against what the role has to accomplish, revealing the tradeoffs that matter, and flagging what needs validation before an offer.
Human-led. AI-enabled. Available on its own, or inside our Talent Advisory engagements.
Define The Decision
Understand What separates your finalists
You reached strong candidates. Now you have to choose. You need to decide whose strengths best fit the job - and which risks you're prepared to accept. TIE brings the evidence you already have into one consistent framework, grounded in your business priorities, so the call is made on reasons you can see and defend.
- Compare what matters. We set the outcomes, behaviors, and weights the role turns on - with you, before anything is scored. Then every finalist is measured against that same standard.
- Examine the tradeoffs. TIE reads the record you already have against that framework, and shows where each candidate leads - and what you give up by choosing them.
- Resolve the uncertainty. You get an executive debrief: the ranked slate, the reasoning behind each score, and exactly what to confirm before the offer.
Evaluate The Evidence
Bring structure to a critical decision
What TIE produces
Each analysis delivers:
- Role-specific priorities. The handful of outcomes and behaviors the role must deliver, weighted by what matters most - defined by you, for you.
- Candidate comparisons. Every finalist measured against that same framework, side by side, with the gaps between them made visible.
- Evidence-backed reasoning. Every score traced to specific evidence from the record. A reason, not an impression.
- Targeted validation. The exact questions to ask and references to check before an offer - what the evidence can't yet confirm.
- Decision guidance. A clear, directional read on each finalist - advance, or advance with conditions - and the confidence behind it.
Debrief and Decide
The Tradeoff Behind The Scorecard
The most useful thing TIE uncovers is often the tradeoff - Deep expertise against the ability to lead people. A strong local network against the independence to run without one. The best candidate on paper rarely wins every category - TIE shows you exactly what you're trading, so you choose it on purpose instead of discovering it later.
Sometimes the real constraint isn't the candidate at all. It's an unresolved question inside the business - a leader expected to take ownership without the authority to match. TIE surfaces that too, before it becomes the reason a good hire doesn't work out. All of it comes back to you in an executive debrief: the ranked slate, the reasoning behind each score, and exactly what to confirm before the offer.
