Bounded Select
Much of selection still rests on personality colours and types that describe almost anyone. Bounded Select starts from what the role asks of the person in it, tests exactly that with structured interviews and real tasks, gathers each interviewer's rating independently, and gives a formulation of each candidate that a person edits and signs. The engine interprets and proposes; people rate and decide.
The idea we are testing
Connected to the Bounded Companion
Bounded Select formulates candidates the way the Bounded Companion formulates a child or a team: competing explanations, weighed against what people saw, revised when the evidence changes. Once someone is hired, the Companion can follow how the first months go with the team.
Where it is now
A first prototype exists. It is unfinished and changes often, so what you see may differ from what we finally release.
When it is ready, it graduates into a product or service.
Who it is for
A method they can explain to a hiring manager and defend to a candidate.
Fewer appointments that look right in the interview and go wrong in the first year.
Questions about what the work asks, and feedback built on what they said and did.
Taking part
We are looking for an HR team in Portugal to run a first pilot. If you want to take part, write to Ricardo.
We're here to help
Let's talk
Tell the Companion about a moment that puzzles you, or write to Ricardo directly.
