Recruitment
Identifying, attracting, assessing and hiring the right fit
Getting it right
At Academic Work, predicting future job performance is what we do best. Because recruitment is all about anticipating the future. With limited information, we must determine whether someone has the potential to excel in a role. To get it right we rely on data and scientific methods. We take pride in assessing only those abilities that are scientifically proven to correlate with actual job performance.
We focus on the skills that are most critical for early-career professional to thrive. By doing so, we increase the likelihood of identifying top talent, reduce the risk of placing someone in the wrong role, and ensure our process is free from stereotypes and biases. We call this approach Evidence-Based Recruitment.

How we work
Evidence-based staffing & recruiting
Evidence-based recruitment is rigorous, systematic, and designed to find the right fit every time. It is a smarter, data-driven way to hire, focusing on what really matters for job success. Instead of putting too much weight on CVs or cover letters, we use proven methods to assess constructs like cognitive ability, personality, career interests, and knowledge depth—qualities that are actually linked to great performance.
Our recruitment process in 6 steps
Try & hire
Unsure whether you need staffing or recruiting? A smart setup is the try & hire solution, where you can recruit the candidate after a trial period if the fit is right. This rent-to-hire setup can also be applied when you want to recruit a consultant during the assignment, if a longer-term staffing need arises suddenly.
