The Hiring Trap
Making a great hire isn't an event, it's a process; One that every growing company has to undergo many times. TruGem transforms the hiring chaos into a repeatable system that helps your find the hidden gems in your applicant pool based on your unique criteria.
(01)
Every new hire is handled differently based on the manager.
(02)
Candidates with great resumes and interview skills, still don't work out.
(03)
Months after the hire you find yourself starting the process over again.
Monthly reporting takes 2 weeks to compile manually.
Executives argue about whose numbers are right instead of what to do.
Critical signals are buried in a 50 page PDF desk nobody reads.
