ERA 2025 ready: day-one unfair dismissal protection from January 2027

Stop expensive hiring mistakes.

A bad hire can cost tens of thousands in lost productivity, management time and team disruption. PRODICTA shows you how candidates perform in real workplace situations before you hire them, helping you make better hiring decisions with confidence.

The problem

A bad hire is one of the most expensive mistakes a business can make.

Every hire is a real investment, and when one does not work out it costs more than money. The cost is rarely just the salary. It is the lost productivity while the role underdelivers, the management time spent trying to fix it, the disruption to the team, and the cost of hiring all over again. By the time the mistake is obvious, most of that cost has already been paid.

What you get

Three outcomes that matter

Stop expensive hiring mistakes

See how a candidate handles the real situations of the role before you make an offer, so the costly mis-hires are caught before they start.

Hire with confidence

Replace gut feel and interview impressions with documented evidence of how each candidate actually performs under realistic pressure.

Protect productivity and team momentum

Bring in people who can do the job from day one, so existing staff are not carrying the gap and the team keeps moving.

Why employers choose PRODICTA

What a CV will never tell you

Industry bodies including the REC put the cost of a single bad hire at £30,000 to £50,000 once lost productivity, management time and re-hiring are counted. A CV and an interview cannot tell you who will avoid that.

A CV tells you what they have donePRODICTA shows you what they can do, by putting candidates through role-specific work simulations built from your job description.
An interview tells you how they presentPRODICTA measures how they actually perform under realistic pressure, scored against fixed behavioural standards rather than opinion.
Evidence you can act onEvery report comes with strengths, watch-outs and a confidence level, all traceable to what the candidate actually did.

Famous Wolf · Digital marketing agency, Midlands

How Famous Wolf Gained Additional Hiring Insight Before Deciding

Challenge

Famous Wolf, a Midlands digital marketing agency, were weighing up a hire and wanted more than interview impressions before committing. Interviews can only show so much about how someone will actually perform once they are in the role.

What PRODICTA found

The assessment surfaced concerns about the candidate that had not been apparent through the interview process, giving the team documented evidence of how the candidate was likely to handle the real demands of the role.

Outcome

The additional insight strengthened the team's decision. Rather than relying on interview impression alone, they could weigh evidence of how the candidate would perform before making the call.

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.

What is a bad hire really costing you?

A bad hire rarely costs just the salary. Answer four quick questions and see an evidence-based estimate for your situation, broken down by where the money actually goes.

Four questions. Around thirty seconds.

This is an evidence-based estimate, not financial advice.

How PRODICTA Works

The PRODICTA Placement Intelligence Model

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

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.

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.
