WhyHireWrong? is a recruitment agency for the technology sector that operates on what it calls radical transparency. Its method is distinctive: candidates complete role-specific prep work and record honest video answers before they are presented to employers. The stated principle is "Hire proof, not promises" - the idea that both sides of a hiring process should demonstrate genuine investment, and that candidates should be assessed on demonstrated capability rather than on CV claims alone.
The firm works with companies through three engagement models: Retained Search, for mission-critical hires; Contingent Recruiting, on a no-hire-no-fee basis; and Embedded Partnership, for organisations building out their own hiring teams. For tech professionals there is Career Re:Work, which provides interview preparation, CV rewriting and direct introductions to relevant companies. Technical domains span recruitment technology, video-based candidate assessment, talent sourcing, interview preparation and CV optimisation.
WhyHireWrong? reports more than 350 hires placed globally, with an average time-to-hire of three to six weeks. The agency operates globally and serves the technology vertical. Its working norms include mutual accountability between candidates and employers, clear feedback and a commitment to no ghosting. Further details are available at whyhirewrong.com.
