Services for research managers
Performance-based hiring
Tomer has established two research groups from scratch and implemented a tight process for hiring researchers effectively with predictable results. Tomer will introduce you to performance-based hiring, an end-to-end process for hiring top talent, developed by Lou Adler and adapted to researchers and designers by Jared Spool. It is the only validated methodology that integrates sourcing, screening, interviewing, and recruiting into a seamless approach based on how top people look for, compare, and accept one position over another.
Tomer has successfully used this process and fine-tuned it throughout the years. He will work with you and your team on implementing it based on your needs to hire researchers and other related roles.

UX measurement practices
