The Cost of the Wrong Hire
A bad hire doesn't just cost a salary. It costs the deal they didn't close, the team they slowed down, and the goal you missed because of it.
Resumes show what someone's done. Interviews show how well they interview. Neither reliably predicts whether they'll perform in this role, add to this culture, or work well with the manager they'll report to.
"Without Marlee we would not be able to accurately analyse a candidate's blind spots and needs. All subjectivity is removed and we can focus on the employee's needs and growth to foster an environment of inclusion, support and belonging."
Lorraine Longato, Innovation Lead, SAP
WHERE MARLEE EXCELS
This isn't personality typing. It's a predictive model built from your own top performers.
Motivation Science
25+ years of research and 16 billion data points behind every one of the 48 motivational traits Marlee measures.
Your Own X-Factor Model
Built from your highest and lowest performers, not a generic population norm.
Predicts Culture Add, Not Just Performance
90-100% reliability on role performance, culture add, and how the candidate and hiring manager will actually work together.
BUILT AROUND REAL PEOPLE
Not another applicant tracker. A clearer read on who'll actually thrive.
Every candidate comes back to a real motivational alignment with the role, the culture, and the manager they'll report to.
"We finally have a science led reason for 'this candidate feels right' beyond gut feel."
"It told us where we'd click and where we'd need to work at it, before day one."
"My onboarding started with Marlee understanding me, not a stack of forms."

WHY NOT JUST...
The tools in your stack weren't built to predict. They were built to track applicants.
ALTERNATIVE | WHAT IT GIVES YOU | WHAT MARLEE GIVES YOU |
|---|---|---|
ATS (Workday, Greenhouse) | A place to post jobs, track applications, and schedule interviews. | Predictive insights on performance, culture add and potential conflicts with solutions for overcoming |
Resume / keyword screening | A filter for what someone's done and the words they used to describe it. | A 90-100% reliability prediction of how they'll perform and thrive, before they start. |
Structured interviews alone | One data point per candidate, coloured by however the interviewer felt that day. | A consistent, evidence-based signal that removes individual interviewer bias. |
