WhyHireWrong?

WhyHireWrong? is a recruitment agency working with technology companies and tech talent, operating on a model it describes as radical transparency. Rather than submitting CVs, candidates complete targeted preparation work and record honest video answers to role-specific questions before being presented to a company. Employers, in turn, commit to providing clear feedback and to not ghosting applicants. The stated ethos is "Hire proof, not promises": demonstrating capability through role-specific work rather than credentials.

The agency offers four engagement models. Retained Search covers mission-critical hires; Contingent Recruiting operates on a no-hire-no-fee basis; Embedded Partnership supports companies building out internal hiring teams. For candidates, Career Re:Work provides interview preparation, CV rewriting and direct introductions to relevant companies. Technical domains include video-based candidate assessment, recruitment technology, interview preparation and talent sourcing.

WhyHireWrong? reports more than 350 hires placed globally, with an average time-to-hire of three to six weeks. The firm works across geographies and maintains mutual accountability between candidates and employers as a core operating principle.
