Traditional Hiring = Trying to Find a Good Wi-Fi Signal in a Basement‍

One second, everything looks perfect - great credentials, solid experience, 5-star LinkedIn recommendations from their relatives… and then BAM!
‍

You realize you’ve hired a human PowerPoint presentation who says things like:
🫠 “I’m a people person.” (Translation: Will CC everyone on an email that needs zero CCs.)
🫠 “I thrive in fast-paced environments.” (Translation: Opens Slack, panics, logs off.)
🫠 “I’m detail-oriented.” (Translation: Fixed one typo, missed the other seven.)

And yet, hiring managers decide in 90 seconds—which is less time than it takes to microwave a samosa.

🚨 Reality Check-

‍

So, if you’re hiring based on a “gut feel” and fancy job titles, congrats! You just hired another LinkedIn poet.

For Example: 

🎤 Interviewer: "Tell me about a time you led a project."
🎭 Candidate: "Absolutely! There was this huge initiative at work, and I—" (Internally Googles “what does a project lead even do?”)

🚀 PMaps Fixes This Hiring Mess

Hiring shouldn’t be a gamble. But when you’re relying on polished resumes and Oscar-worthy interview performances, that’s exactly what happens.

Instead of trusting fancy job titles and buzzwords, our Talent Assessment Report enriched with Behavioral Event Interviewing (BEI) measures actual ability - so you can separate true talent from professional employees.

Read our blog on PMaps Behavioral Event Interviewing (BEI) to discover how it transforms hiring—filter out the fluff, spot real talent, and make every hire count!

Our Talent Assessments are -

✅ Language-agnostic (Because great workers don’t always speak in corporate jargon. Whether they’re hands-on workers or office professionals, this works.)
✅ Quick (~11 mins) (Faster than your morning doom scroll on Instagram)
✅ 79% completion rate (Because it’s NOT painful or boring!)

Say No more hiring based on vibes. No more LinkedIn poets. Just real insight into who can actually do the job—before you hire them.

But wait - Assessments alone won’t cut it!

Once you've found top candidates, how do you separate true talent from professional employees?

🚀 The Ultimate Hiring Hack: Behavioural Event Interviewing 

Ever hired someone who talked like a TEDx speaker but worked like a slow WiFi router? That’s what happens when you don’t use Behavioral Event Interviewing (BEI).

BEI is the anti-bluffing tool of hiring. Instead of asking, “What would you do?” (cue well-rehearsed fiction), BEI demands, “What DID you do?” - forcing real-life receipts.

📊 FACT: BEI predicts 55% of job performance, whereas traditional interviews? About 10%, which is only slightly better than flipping a coin.

⚡ Why Is BEI a Game-Changer?

Because traditional hiring methods are basically corporate standup comedy.

Without BEI, you get:
❌ The Resume Magician - “Fluent in Python.” (Copied code once from Stack Overflow.)
❌ The Buzzword Bot - “I spearheaded cross-functional synergy optimization.” (What does that even mean??)
❌ The Gut-Feel Gambit - “He seemed confident.” (So did the guy selling miracle hair oil.)

With BEI, you stop hiring great actors and start hiring great employees. 

🚗PMaps CAR Model = The Hiring Lie Detector

BEI follows the CAR Model, which exposes whether a candidate is actually skilled—or just good at talking in circles.

‍

🚗 Context (C): What was the situation? 

❌“It was challenging.”  

✅“The project deadline was a week away, but half the data was missing. The team?   Ghosted. The client? Expecting a masterpiece. The vibes? Not good.”

🚗 Action (A): What did they actually DO? (Not “I facilitated team engagement”—just tell me, man.)

❌“I facilitated team engagement." 

✅”I went full FBI mode-digging through ancient email threads, sending "just circling back 🙂” messages like a menace, and speed-running Excel like it was an eSports tournament. At 2 AM, running on caffeine and regrets, they finally pieced it all together.”

🚗 Result (R): What happened? (Did it WORK, or did you just send a follow-up email and call it a day?)

❌“It was successful." 

✅”The report was submitted on time, the client said, “Looks great!” (classic), and the team carried on like nothing ever happened. Meanwhile, our hero sat there, questioning life choices, but at least earning the right to passive-aggressively sigh in the next meeting.”

With this method, you get real answers, not another LinkedIn “thought leader” giving you a TEDx performance.

⏳ Where & When to Use BEI?

✅ Hiring: To filter out people who “work well under pressure” but need a nap after sending one email.
✅ Performance Reviews: To separate the actual doers from those who just “circle back” in meetings.
✅ Leadership Selection: To find leaders, not people who take credit for team projects.
