The 700 Standard
7 qualities0 shortcuts 0 compromise
Every candidate HIRE700 recommends is assessed against The 700 Standard — a framework built on the seven qualities that define a great hire. Not a checklist. A standard.
Why we built a standard.
Most recruiters assess candidates on two things: their CV and how well they interview. We think that's not enough. A polished CV doesn't tell you whether someone will show up when it's hard. A good interview doesn't tell you whether they'll earn the trust of their team.
The 700 Standard was built to go deeper. It's the framework our consultants use to assess every candidate we work with — across every role, every industry, every level. When we recommend someone, it means they've been measured against all seven qualities. Not just the obvious ones.
