The Real Cost

A bad hire doesn't just cost money.
It costs everything.

When you're 10–200 people, one wrong VP or Head of hire can derail months of progress and burn through runway you can't replace.

30%
of first-year salary
The minimum direct cost of a bad executive hire — recruiting fees, severance, onboarding waste.
6–12 mo
of lost growth
The time it takes to unwind a bad hire, restart the search, and rebuild momentum you can't get back.
2–3x
team morale damage
Bad leaders destroy culture. Top performers leave. The damage cascades far beyond the one seat.

What We Do

Executive-grade due diligence
for your most critical hire.

ProofHire is the reference check your recruiter can't do and your board will thank you for.

Deep Candidate Verification

We go beyond the resume. Verified achievements, confirmed track record, validated credentials — so you know exactly what you're getting.

Structured Reference Intelligence

Not casual check-the-box calls. We run 3–5 rigorous, structured interviews with people who actually worked alongside your candidate.

Predictive Fit Analysis

Leadership style, conflict patterns, collaboration habits — we map how your candidate actually operates, so you can predict how they'll perform in your company.

Three Steps

How It Works

Simple for you. Rigorous behind the scenes.

STEP 01

Share the role & finalist

Tell us about the position and your final candidate. What matters most to you? What are you worried about? Takes 10 minutes.

STEP 02

We investigate deeply

Our team runs 3–5 structured reference interviews with people who actually worked with your candidate. No softball questions.

STEP 03

Get your Go/No-Go report

In 48 hours you receive a comprehensive ProofHire Report with a clear hire or no-hire recommendation. No guesswork.

The Deliverable

Your ProofHire
Risk & Fit Report

Not a generic template. Each report is a structured, evidence-based assessment built from deep reference interviews — giving you the clarity to make a confident hiring decision.

Risk Flags & Red Flags
Pattern-matched concerns across multiple references — not just one person's opinion.
Culture & Leadership Fit
How the candidate actually leads: decision-making style, conflict resolution, collaboration patterns.
Verified Achievements
Were the claimed wins real? We verify the specifics so you don't have to take their word for it.
Go / No-Go Recommendation
A clear, direct recommendation backed by evidence. No hedging, no corporate fluff.
