Predictive validity, Schmidt & Hunter meta-analysis

How well each method predicts job performance

Higher is a stronger predictor. The things a CV tells you sit near the bottom. Work-sample and structured methods, the family PRODICTA belongs to, predict performance far better.

Validity coefficients from Schmidt & Hunter’s meta-analysis of selection methods (work-sample tests 0.54, years of experience 0.18, years of education 0.10). PRODICTA is a work-sample, structured assessment method, so it belongs to the high-validity family shown here. These are method-level findings from the published research, not a validation study of PRODICTA itself.

Overview

What is PRODICTA?

PRODICTA is a UK pre-employment assessment platform that predicts how a candidate will perform in a role before they are hired. Instead of relying on CVs, interviews and gut feel, it puts candidates into realistic work scenarios built from the actual role and measures how they perform under the conditions they would face in their first 90 days.

How it works

From role details to hiring decision in minutes

No personality tests. No theory. Real work scenarios that show you exactly who will succeed.

Step 1

Paste the role you're hiring for

Add the role and answer three or four quick questions. PRODICTA builds the scenarios from the actual job.

Step 2

Candidates work real scenarios

They handle the situations they would face in their first 90 days, not multiple choice or personality questions.

Step 3

You get an evidence report

Scored against fixed behavioural anchors, with every finding traced back to what the candidate actually did.

PRODICTA vs the tools you hire with today

What each one actually tells you about how a candidate will perform in the role.

Strengths
Clear stakeholder communication

Consistently structured responses around audience needs. Adapted tone for different scenarios.

Commercial awareness

Strong grasp of revenue impact and client retention priorities.

Watch-outs
Delegation hesitancy

Showed reluctance to distribute tasks. May become a bottleneck in senior roles.

Time pressure response

Quality dropped noticeably under tight deadlines. Responses became less structured.

Most hiring decisions are based on opinion.

PRODICTA gives you proof.

Who it’s for

Built for your side of the hire

What you get

How they handle the hard days

Find out how candidates handle conflicting priorities, difficult conversations, and tight deadlines. The number one predictor of whether someone will pass probation.

Are their answers genuine?

Know whether candidates wrote their own answers or had help. Timing analysis, consistency checks, and authenticity scoring give you confidence before you invest further.

Scored across the skills that matter

Four skill dimensions scored with detailed evidence. Every strength and concern is traced back to what the candidate actually wrote.

Equality Act Compliant

Scenario-based assessments that are fair, objective, and anonymous. No candidate is penalised for spelling, grammar, or writing style. Documented and defensible.

A plan for their first six weeks

Every report includes a structured onboarding plan tailored to this candidate's specific gaps. Hand it to the line manager on day one.

Every level, every role

Built for every role, not just senior hires.

Customer Service Advisor
Care Worker
Accounts Assistant
Sales Executive
Operations Manager
Finance Director

Every role gets scenarios built from the actual job description. A care worker gets a safeguarding scenario. A receptionist gets a multitasking scenario. A director gets a strategic scenario. PRODICTA adapts to the role, not the other way around.

The PRODICTA Placement Intelligence Model

Four layers that turn a candidate response into an evidence-based hiring decision.

A candidate responseAn evidence-based hiring decision, with a confidence level
1

Behavioural Simulation

Candidates complete role-specific work simulations built from your job description. Every scenario reflects a real situation they will face in their first 90 days.

2

Anchored Scoring

Responses are scored against predefined behavioural anchors, not AI opinion. Each dimension has a fixed standard for high, medium, and low performance.

3

Role Calibration

Scores are weighted for your specific role family. A warehouse operative and a finance director are not measured against the same model.

4

Placement Intelligence

Every insight is traceable to something the candidate actually did. Watch-outs come with evidence. Strengths come with proof. The verdict comes with a confidence level.

This is not AI guesswork. This is evidence-based placement intelligence.

Evidence-based hiring is becoming the new standard

Evidence-Based Hiring

Hiring decisions must be defensible, structured, explainable.

This is why PRODICTA was built. Real work. Real evidence. Better hiring decisions.

Greenhouse, 2025 AI in Hiring ReportThe AI doom loop

Candidates use AI to apply to more roles, employers use AI to filter them back out, and both sides end up worse off.

PRODICTA breaks the loop by replacing the filter with evidence.

Willo, Hiring Trends Report 202641% vs 10%

41% of employers are actively moving away from CV-first hiring, but only 10% have replaced it with anything better.

PRODICTA closes that gap.

Customer stories

What customers are telling us

PRODICTA gave us valuable insight into areas that would not normally become visible until someone was already in the role. The assessment helped us make a more informed decision and gave us greater confidence in our recruitment process.

Natalie Hayward, HR Manager, Famous Wolf

It exceeded my expectations. The level of insight generated was far deeper than I anticipated and demonstrated real potential to support recruitment decision-making.

Callum, Director, Zest Recruitment

Great tool that all employers should use to gauge the quality of candidates. In the world of AI this could be the game changer that we have been waiting for.

January 2027

The 6-Month Trap.

The Employment Rights Act 2025 received Royal Assent on 18 December 2025. It is already law. The unfair dismissal changes commence on 1 January 2027.

You already put real care into who you hire, and the ground has already shifted under you.

From January 2027, every employee in the UK has unfair dismissal protection after just 6 months. No qualifying period. No compensation cap. For employers, every hire is a legal and financial risk from day one.

A bad hire costs you recruitment fees, training, lost productivity, team morale, and now an uncapped tribunal claim.

For recruitment agencies, every placement you make carries that same risk. When a hire fails, your client blames you. Your fee is at risk. Your reputation takes the hit. And from 2027, your clients will demand proof that the candidates you sent were properly assessed.

PRODICTA exists because this problem is now confirmed and counting down. The employers who prepare now will be protected. The agencies who offer this now will win the clients. Everyone else will be scrambling in January 2027.

1 July 2026 has already passed.

Anyone you hired on or before 1 July 2026 will already have six months’ service by 1 January 2027, and will gain unfair dismissal protection automatically the moment the law commences. If you have hired anyone this year, this already applies to them. There is nothing left to do to avoid it for your existing team, only to prepare for it.

The shrinking safe window

How long before a new hire can bring a claim

Until January 20272 years before an unfair dismissal claim
From January 20276 months, then uncapped tribunal exposure
Day 16 mo12 mo18 mo24 mo
Qualifying window, before a claim is possibleUncapped tribunal exposure

In practice the safe window is even shorter than it looks. Statutory notice counts toward an employee’s length of service, so a dismissal timed for the end of a six-month probation can tip into the protected period once notice is added. Employers who run a six-month probation period are the most exposed of all.

From January 2027
Employees will have unfair dismissal protection from their first day of employment, with no qualifying period.
No compensation cap
The upper limit on unfair dismissal compensation will be removed, exposing employers to significantly larger awards.
Probationary periods tightened
You'll still be able to dismiss during a defined probation period, but only with a clear, fair process. You'll need to evidence it.

Separately, the time limit for bringing an employment tribunal claim is expected to extend from three months to six months, likely from October 2026. Claims will be easier to bring, as well as easier to qualify for.

Today, compensation for unfair dismissal is capped at £123,543, or 52 weeks’ gross pay, whichever is lower. From 1 January 2027 that cap is removed entirely, and awards become uncapped.

You would not sign a contract without legal advice. Why would you make a hire without PRODICTA?
