Kingsley Gate Partners Launches Synchronous Fit™ Framework To Ensure A Lasting Fit Between Executives And Companies
Firm Evolves Executive Search Methodology to Fuse Science and Technology with Expert Insight
Kingsley Gate Partners, the new leader in retained executive search that helps ensure a lasting fit between its clients and placed candidates, today announced its Synchronous Fit™ framework that leverages scientific cloud-based tools combined with insights from expert search consultants to provide the perfect strategic fit between executives and companies.
“Department of Labor statistics show that companies could waste more than 30 percent of an executive’s first year total compensation in making a bad hire,” stated Umesh Ramakrishnan, senior partner, Office of the CEO, Kingsley Gate Partners. “From a dollar figure, this could amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars per hire, and that figure doesn’t even begin to account for the disruption and lack of direction that can be attributed to hiring someone that doesn’t match the strategic direction of a company.”
Synchronous Fit is a proprietary framework that matches a company’s strategic hiring needs with each candidate’s values. Built from the ground up using the next generation Athena™ mobile online structured interview platform, the framework consists of multiple elements, including:
– Synchronous Fit Profile™ – A predetermined rating system is established through an iterative discovery process between the search consultant and the client to create a Synchronous Fit Profile.
– Fit Assessment – offers a synergistic set of methodologies that scientifically measure both the credentials and the compatibility of the candidates against the Synchronous Fit Profile. The assessments are designed to rate the individual desired skills, attributes and values of each candidate to determine the likelihood of his/her ability to succeed in the role.
– Quotient™ – uses statistical algorithms to rank each candidate’s overall Fit Quotient™ score, which combines their experience, their executive attributes and their value system. These scores are arrived at by infusing scientific tools with human insight that extends from the first interview through the final reference. The Fit Quotient™ is designed to prevent the hiring of qualified candidates that are eventual cultural misfits by presenting a holistic view of every candidate.
“While the industry has used personality tests to measure candidate attributes, this is the first time hiring executives are able to quantitatively evaluate a candidate’s holistic value and align them with the strategic hiring needs of their company,” continues Ramakrishnan. “We’re applying proven science to help companies remove individual interview biases and hire their most important executives to ensure long-term success.”
In addition to its Synchronous Fit framework, Kingsley Gate is taking the process one step further through the introduction of its Running Start™ program, a collaborative consulting process that gives incoming executives a 90-day action plan complete with strategic tools and detailed organizational insights to help them make a positive impact from day one.
To support the launch of its new framework and platform, Kingsley Gate Partners has reinvented its corporate logo to reflect the four cornerstones of its brand: velocity, science, insights and transparency. The newly launched website highlights the expertise of the firm’s consultants, who help ensure a high service level in delivering candidates that will have a lasting fit for an organization.
