“If you’re using online assessments, they should only ever 1) use job-relevant characteristics, 2) educate candidates on what the job is really like, 3) enable poor-fit candidates to deselect themselves.” Chris Platts, ThriveMap CEO

The Employment Rights Bill 2026 shifts accountability upstream. For volume recruiters, clearer roles and stronger assessments matter more than ever. https://hubs.la/Q03YQ-GG0

Zero hours contracts, fire and rehire, early dismissal are under scrutiny. The Employment Rights Bill 2026 forces volume resourcing to rethink recruitment processes.

Frontline healthcare teams everywhere are battling staff shortages and misaligned hiring only makes it worse.

During Sodexo’s healthcare accelerator, we explored how a Realistic Job Assessment could help by giving candidates a true “day-in-the-life” preview before they applied. It measured commitment, competence and fit, and encouraged the wrong candidates to opt out early. The aim? Less pressure on overstretched teams and a stronger pipeline of people who truly understand the role.

The UK’s first-ever National Hiring Strategy highlights just how broken the early stages of hiring really are and the cost is staggering.
When 41% of new starters walk out within 12 weeks, it isn’t a “people problem”.
It’s an expectation problem.
And it’s avoidable.

Fix the candidate expectation gap by showing candidates the realities of the role before day one. With Realistic Job Assessments you assess competence, commitment and fit, reducing early attrition by up to 55%.

Realistic Job Assessments put the real work at the centre of hiring. Instead of asking candidates how they’d behave, you show them what the job’s actually like — the pace, the pressure, the people — and see how they handle it.

It’s the difference between guessing and knowing. Employers see how someone really thinks and reacts in situations that mirror day-to-day reality. Candidates get to experience the role before they commit, so no one’s walking in on day one saying, “I didn’t realise it would be like this.”

It’s fairer, faster, and cuts out the guesswork for both sides.

Hiring shouldn’t be guesswork.
Every testimonial here comes from teams who stopped hiring on gut feel — and started hiring based on real behaviour and fit.
Here‘s what happens when you stop guessing who’s a good fit.👉

The end of Global Diversity Awareness Month is a good moment to ask:
Is your hiring process as fair as you think it is?

Even with the best intentions, bias can creep into job descriptions, interviews, and assessments — shaping who gets a chance long before day one.

At ThriveMap, we’re helping companies design hiring processes that measure what matters — not who fits the mould. Fairness isn’t a buzzword for us; it’s how you find better people, faster.

🧠 Hiring in 2025: Are you screening humans or bots?

Over half of candidates now use AI tools to complete job applications — and most pre-screening tests haven’t caught up.

If your assessment still asks “Tell us about yourself” in an open-text box, you’re not measuring talent. You’re measuring who can prompt better.

👉 Read: How to Create an AI-Proof Pre-Screening Assessment: https://hubs.la/Q03PRgnG0

Learn how to build assessments that go beyond words — and measure real decision-making, adaptability, and job-fit.

It’s not about defeating AI. It’s about designing hiring where only genuine human ability wins.

Craft AI-proof pre-screening assessments that identify the best candidates. Learn essential dos and don'ts to enhance recruitment.

A lot of assessment providers call their tools “scientifically validated.”

But when you look closely, that usually just means the test worked on a small, historic sample under ideal conditions — not that it’s valid for your role, your candidates, or today’s market.

Fixed norm groups and outdated benchmarks can make a test look rigorous while giving you results that are detached from reality.

At ThriveMap we take a different approach.

Every assessment starts with a job analysis and an Ideal Candidate Profile workshop with your hiring team.

We build scenarios around the real tasks, behaviours and decisions in your roles, then score candidates against a rolling, dynamic comparison group drawn from your current applicant pool.

The result? Assessments that stay fair, current and predictive, not just “scientifically validated” on paper.

If you’re tired of tests that sound impressive but don’t tell you who can actually do the job, our Realistic Job Assessments and scoring methodology can help. 👇

Outdated recruitment practices are costing the UK billions. We’re helping to change that.

Every year:
📈 150 million job applications flood employers
🚪 1 in 4 new hires leave within 12 weeks
💸 £14.4 billion is lost to the UK economy through bad hires

Yesterday saw the launch of the UK’s first Association of RecTech Providers (ARTP) at the House of Commons. ThriveMap is proud to be a founding member.

ARTP brings RecTech innovators together with government to set real standards for faster, fairer, more predictive hiring — not another talking shop, but a roadmap for reform.

Thank you to the Better Hiring Institute and the speakers who made the event such a success. The appetite for change was clear.

We’re excited to work with fellow innovators and employers hiring at scale to make recruitment genuinely effective. If that’s you, get involved.
