Traditional Hiring is Broken.
You don’t have a hiring problem. You have a system problem.
Hours wasted
Sifting through unqualified candidates while real work piles up.
Top candidates lost
While your interview process drags on, the best ones accept other offers.
“Culture fit” decisions
That are just unconscious bias in disguise.
Hires who ace the interview
But fail at the actual job. Again. And again.
The Proven
Science-Backed
System For Smarter Hiring
The New Science of Hiring bridges decades of academic research with the real-world needs of founders, managers, and recruiters.
Authors Patrick Weeks and Joy Giles scaled teams at hypergrowth companies like Sonder and Vail by rejecting outdated methods and applying evidence-based strategies that actually work.

Why Now?
Most companies are still hiring like it’s 1985. Gut-feel interviews. Resume roulette. Copying what “big brands” do.
And the data is clear — those methods don’t work. They never did.
Every bad hire costs more than salary. It costs momentum, trust, and time.
That’s why we wrote The New Science of Hiring. The science has been proven for decades, trapped inside academia. We made it practical for today.
Stop hiring like it’s the past. Start building teams for the future.
