Recruitment is more than just filling a position—it’s about finding the right person who will thrive in the role, integrate into the team, and contribute to long-term business success. Yet, many companies still rely on skills and qualifications alone, often overlooking the behavioural fit that determines how well an employee will perform in a given environment. This is where Shadowmatch’s Benchmark Functionality transforms the recruitment process, ensuring businesses hire smarter, reduce turnover, and build high-performing teams.
Why Traditional Recruitment Falls Short
Many businesses have experienced the frustration of hiring someone who looked great on paper but struggled to adapt, clashed with the team, or underperformed. That’s because traditional recruitment methods focus on:
❌ Skills & Experience – While important, these don’t guarantee someone will excel in the role.
❌ Interviews & Gut Feelings – These can be biased and fail to predict long-term success.
❌ Generic Assessments – Many tests measure personality but don’t reveal work habits or behavioural fit.
The missing piece? Behaviour. And that’s where Shadowmatch optimises recruitment.
How Shadowmatch Optimises Recruitment
Shadowmatch’s Benchmark Functionality ensures that companies recruit candidates who naturally fit the behavioural demands of the role. Here’s how it works:
✅ Creating a Success Benchmark – Shadowmatch analyses the behavioural patterns of top performers in a role, identifying the habits, work styles, and decision-making approaches that drive success.
✅ Assessing Candidate Fit – Candidates complete the Shadowmatch assessment, which is then compared against the benchmark, ensuring they align with the required behavioural patterns.
✅ Reducing Hiring Risks – By matching behaviour to the job’s demands, businesses minimise the risk of poor performance, disengagement, and early resignations.
✅ Improving Retention & Engagement – Employees who naturally align with the job and company culture are more productive, satisfied, and committed, reducing turnover and recruitment costs.
✅ Enhancing Onboarding & Performance – When new hires already possess the right work habits, they integrate into teams faster, adapt more easily, and require less intensive training.
Beyond Hiring: Ongoing Talent Optimisation
Shadowmatch’s benchmark functionality isn’t just for recruitment—it also helps businesses:
✔ Identify leadership potential by comparing employees to management and executive benchmarks.
✔ Develop existing employees by spotting behavioural gaps and offering targeted coaching.
✔ Restructure teams for better performance by ensuring behavioural alignment.
Smarter Recruitment, Stronger Teams
By integrating Shadowmatch’s behavioural benchmarks into the recruitment process, businesses gain a scientific, data-driven approach to hiring, ensuring that every new employee is not only skilled but also behaviourally suited for success. The result? Stronger teams, higher retention, and long-term business growth.
