Hire people you can trust to perform — not just interview well.

The hiring problem
Hiring decisions are still based on incomplete signals
The tools haven't kept up with the cost of a bad hire.
Candidates say what sounds good
Interview answers are rehearsed. Self-reported personality scores are even easier to fake.
Interviews don't reveal real behavior
A confident answer about teamwork tells you nothing about how someone actually handles conflict.
Most assessments are easy to game
Likert scales reward the candidate who picks 'Strongly Agree' on every flattering trait.
You can't defend the decision later
When a hire goes wrong, 'gut feel' isn't a paper trail. You need structured, repeatable data.
The PACEPIPES way
Finally, a behavioral assessment that's hard to game
Instead of asking candidates to rate themselves, PACEPIPES forces a choice between equally plausible decisions. There is no "right" answer to pick — only the answer that reveals how someone actually thinks under pressure.
- Candidates rank trade-offs, not statements they agree with
- No flattering option — every choice has a cost
- We score the top decision, not the noise below it
- Hidden weighting prevents reverse-engineering

No obvious right answer
Candidates choose between equally reasonable trade-offs. Faking high agreement no longer works.

Clean breakdown by competency and trait
Every result rolls up from trait → competency → overall, with hidden weighting you fully control.
