Instinct is expensive. We measure. Because bad hires hurt teams. Bad jobs hurt people.

The team that lives with it. The person who got it wrong.

We measure how well the two fit, before they ever meet.

You're hiring → You're open to a move →

The market looks at one side at a time.
We measure both.

Search firms

One client: the company.

And yet it is poorly served. The person becomes a CV to place: what they did elsewhere, never what they will do with you. The invoice follows the salary, not the soundness of the choice. And it often has to be done again, with one more disappointment on the candidate side.

Job boards

One service: the listing.

And yet both sides lose. The person gives their CV, their time, their interviews, and gets no answer, no timeline, not even the salary range until the interviews are over. The company collects a pile of raw applications and sorts it alone, without a single element of measurement.

Cernio

One aim: the right fit.

Company side

It receives what a CV does not present: personality, drivers, way of thinking, expectations. And also what not to expect from the person. At Cernio the price is shown upfront, a flat fee, never a percentage. And it has all of this before the first contact: selection is counted in days, not weeks.

Candidate side

The person knows what they are walking into: what they would be doing, the salary range, and a company they can place: its location, its size, its stage of growth. A family-run SME and a fast-growing company do not offer the same daily life. And they have all of this from the approach onward, before committing, never drip-fed across interviews.

With Cernio, an introduction requires mutual interest: the company knows who it could welcome, the person knows where they could go. Each side knows why it is there, and what it can expect.

A bad hire costs the company €35,000 to €150,000 . And one person in three regrets the move.*

One mistake, cascading costs.

Human

The team absorbs it first, then tires of it. Some end up leaving. The person loses months, and the drive they arrived with.

Financial

The company paid for a recruitment it will have to run again.

Organisational

For the company, everything starts over: the brief, the interviews, the integration. For the person too: a new search, and a departure to explain.

We measure before the contact, so that each side knows what to expect.

The background says where the person comes from; we also measure what will decide what comes next. The company receives the person's fit with the search and with the team, including what not to expect from the person. The person receives the same elements about the company. Nobody finds out afterwards what they needed to know before.

In the right place, a person stays, thrives, and gives the team their best work.

This is what Cernio works to make more likely: the fit between what a person is looking for and what a company offers. We do not guarantee success. We put both sides in a position to decide with the right elements.

And you?

You're hiring

A selection of people, not a stack of CVs.

Every person is measured beyond their CV: personality, drivers, way of thinking, expectations, and what not to expect from them. We only put a profile forward when the fit is there.

Beyond your CV, there is you.

The offers you receive always line up with your background, your expectations and your potential. You stay anonymous until you agree. Not in the right place? We can show you what exists elsewhere.
