In the world of recruitment, hiring the wrong candidate can feel like buying a “pig in a poke”— making a decision without truly knowing what you’re getting. Despite polished resumes, rehearsed interviews, and glowing references, many hiring decisions rely on guesswork rather than real insights into a candidate’s abilities. This leads to costly mismatches, lost productivity, and frustrated teams.
The “pig in a poke” problem is one of the oldest challenges in hiring, stemming from a lack of reliable tools to objectively measure a candidate’s true potential. Employers often gamble on incomplete information, hoping that their choice is the right fit, only to discover gaps in skills, knowledge, or compatibility later.
