For employers

For teams that need to know if a candidate can actually think under pressure.

Résumés look identical, and take-home work is easy to generate now. How someone reasons in real time, without preparation, is the signal that’s left.

A wrong hire is expensive, and the usual signals are easy to polish.

$5,475

average cost per nonexecutive hire (SHRM Benchmarking, 2025)

39 days

median time to fill a nonexecutive role (SHRM Recruiting Benchmarking, 2026)

46%

of newly-hired employees will fail within 18 months (Leadership IQ, 2005)

Those decisions still rest mostly on résumés and take-home work, and generative AI has made both cheap to polish.

Hiring

See how a candidate reasons before the final round.

Send candidates a link configured to the role. They reason through a scenario out loud, the follow-up questions change with each answer, and your hiring team reviews the session next to the rest of the application.

It sits alongside your interviewers and gives them more to read.

Behavioural signals show where an answer held and where it paused. You can’t fake the pause before an answer you don’t know.

Shared Footprint

Reasoning records that candidates choose to share.

People who practice on ProfilEd keep a private portfolio of their sessions. Some will send you the link with their application.

You see what they chose to send, and nothing else. It’s hard to fake, because it was built session by session, out loud, under questions nobody could prepare for.

People development

Practice for the conversations a new role brings.

Strong individual contributors often struggle when they move into management. The work isn’t harder. The reasoning it asks for changes: holding a position under challenge, and explaining a trade-off so it lands.

Enroll a cohort before a promotion round, five minutes a day for twelve weeks, in private. Or run it as daily practice next to an existing leadership program.

How a pilot runs

One cohort, eight weeks, in the browser.

  1. Week 0

    We configure the role.

    The scenario and the reasoning you care about go into one link, in less than a business day.

  2. Week 1

    Candidates or employees start.

    Nothing to install. They open the link in a browser.

  3. Week 4

    We check in with you.

    A 30-minute call to review early sessions and tune the scenario.

  4. Week 8

    You get the report.

    Completion, the patterns we saw and manager feedback, with a proposal if you continue.

  • A hiring manager or L&D leadSomeone who owns the pilot and reads the sessions.
  • Fifteen or more peopleOne hiring round or one leadership cohort.
  • No SSO needed to startSSO and other connections are scoped in a full agreement.
