I’m Tricia Neves,
President of Hiring By Design

I've seen what happens when a hire goes wrong. The stress. The wasted time. The way it weighs on everyone. And I've seen what happens when it goes right. The energy. The confidence. The way a whole team’s spirits can life when the right person is in the right role, doing what they enjoy.

That's what drives everything I do at Hiring by Design.

For more than 28 years, I've helped leaders bring the right people onto their teams. I use talent assessments—tools that show how a person naturally thinks, works, and stays motivated—to take the guesswork out of hiring.

Because I believe when someone gets to do what they're naturally good at, they show up more engaged. More committed. Happier. And that happiness is contagious.

When You Understand People, Everybody Wins.

Hiring has changed significantly in the last decade, but one thing remains constant: when people are doing what they’re naturally good at, they’re happy. This guide is your starting point to creating a culture of happy, engaged people.
