I-o Psychology services
HighMatch’s workplace psychologists develop custom interview guides built specifically for your roles and organization that are both predictive and bias-free, and deliver those as guided interviews for hiring managers.
When an employee doesn’t work out, the reasons are often hyper-specific to that unique role and organization.
Interview guides with generic questions often can’t assess for these hyper-specific requirements of your roles, leading to poor hiring decisions and higher turnover.
Our workplace psychologists partner with in-house teams to develop custom interview guides for your hiring team for the unique needs of your specific roles and culture.
Our team of experienced workplace psychologists use proven research techniques and decades of experience to identify those qualities that contribute most to success.
Insights can be used in multiple ways, from selecting candidates most likely to be successful to identifying existing employees that are better suited for other roles.
Hiring candidates whose innate traits mirror those of your high performers can lead to better performance, faster speed to productivity and a reduction in turnover.
The difference between a great employee and a poor one is often less about general qualities and more about a specific requirement, skill or knowledge unique to the role.
An off-the-shelf interview guide won’t provide the relevant insights you need to make a good hiring decision, which can lead to higher turnover and lower morale.
Our research-backed service helps identify critical competencies leading to success and incorporate questions into our guides that provide unparalleled insights into the competencies that matter most in your roles.

Are your hiring teams using their gut instincts and opinions, rather than science and data, when it comes to assessing for culture fit during interviews?
In this webinar, Dr. Craig Ellis, an I-O Psychologist, guides you through an objective interview process that will help your team assess candidate alignment with your organizational culture. His proposes a four-step framework to improve the interview process by using culture and defined competencies to evaluate candidates.
HighMatch’s psychologists start by interviewing experts at your organization, those who have seen firsthand employees who have been successful in the role and those who have not.
Experts can include TA team members, hiring managers – former employees – anyone who can articulate the differences between those that work and those that don’t.
Our workplace psychologists then craft custom interview guides specific to the role and culture. They validate these to ensure questions are directly related to aspects of the job, and develop scoring standards based on SME ratings.
Once those have been defined, our team will integrate these questions into one or more of our assessment products.
Our I-O Services team includes a deep bench of experienced industrial and organizational psychologists and consultants with decades of experience partnering with leading brands across multiple industries. This team is led by our Head of I-O Psychology:
