Stop Hiring Résumés. Start Hiring Results.

You've seen it before. The perfect résumé. Stanford MBA. Google, then Facebook, then that hot startup. Glowing recommendations. Articulate, polished, confident in interviews.

Six months later, they're gone. Or worse—they're still there, underperforming.

The Résumé Industrial Complex

The hiring process has become a game, and everyone knows the rules:

• Optimize keywords for ATS systems
• Embellish responsibilities without technically lying
• Prepare canned answers for behavioral questions
• Coach references on what to emphasize

We're not evaluating ability anymore. We're judging résumé writing skills.

A Stanford study found that résumé credentials explain only 2% of performance variance. The other 98%? That's what actually matters—and what traditional hiring completely misses.

The Performance Preview Revolution

Imagine if you bought a car based solely on its spec sheet. No test drive. No looking under the hood. Just trusting the salesperson's promises. Sounds crazy, right?

Yet that's exactly how we hire for $200,000+ positions.

hire.vip flips the script with work simulations that reveal what résumés hide:

For Engineering Roles:

• Watch them architect solutions in real-time
• See how they handle ambiguous requirements
• Observe their debugging process under pressure
• Measure code quality, not just functionality

For Sales Positions:

• Experience their discovery process firsthand
• Evaluate their objection handling
• Test their product knowledge application
• Assess their follow-up and organization

For Leadership Roles:

• Observe stakeholder management skills
• See how they prioritize competing demands
• Watch them navigate difficult conversations
• Measure their strategic thinking

The Proof Is in the Performance

When companies switch from résumé-based to performance-based hiring:

Quality Improvements:

• 87% of hires still thriving after one year
• 3.2x higher performance ratings
• 71% reduction in mis-hires

Efficiency Gains:

• 70% faster time-to-fill
• 82% less time spent interviewing
• 90% reduction in "no-show" candidates

Business Impact:

• 2.4x faster project completion
• 31% higher team productivity
• $2.1M average annual impact per 10 hires

Real Stories, Real Results

"The Surprise Star": A candidate with a non-traditional background and gap in employment scored in the top 1% of our simulations. Traditional screening would have rejected them instantly. Today, they're leading a team of 12 and driving record revenue.

"The Dodged Bullet": An ex-FAANG engineer with a stellar résumé completely fumbled basic architecture decisions in the simulation. The hiring manager said: "Their résumé was perfect. Watching them work saved us from a $300K mistake."

"The Hidden Gem": A quiet candidate who interviewed poorly absolutely crushed the work simulation. They're now the technical lead on a critical project. "We almost passed because they weren't charismatic enough. Thank God we saw their actual work."
