Together we can raise the bar in recruitment

Raising the bar means hiring with insight, interviewing with consistency, and assessing with authenticity. It’s transparent hiring with nothing to hide. It says what it means and is what it claims to be. Just like us.

Discover how we’re doing things differently

At ThriveMap we help you hire more authentically and transparently in an increasingly opaque job market.

How do we do it?

Meet the growing ThriveMap team:

Chris Platts

CEO/Co-founder

Former recruiter, TA expert and Philosophy graduate Chris is passionate about the power of storytelling in the hiring process. He’s an expert at connecting the dots between the needs of a company, a job, and its candidates and loves nothing more than getting lost in the imaginary worlds of his two young boys at the weekend.

We Value

Transforming hiring processes to become streamlined, objective and fair.

Giving candidates a better, more joyful hiring experience.

Hiring decisions being based on merit, not background or experience.

Telling candidates what jobs are actually like. Authentic storytelling through assessment narratives.

Assessing skills, competencies and knowledge in the context of what people do in the role.

As featured in:

We believe in:

People being hired because of their present ability, not prior experience

Telling candidates what we would want to know about a job if we were in their shoes

Equipping managers with the tools they need to make better hiring decisions

Helping companies to reduce attrition and hire better people long-term, not just one-off fixes

Fairness. Reducing bias and increasing transparency in the recruitment process

Having colleagues work on things they’re excited about, in an environment that develops them

What makes ThriveMap different?

It’s an important question. There are lots of pre-hire assessment tools on the market and not a lot of information on what makes them different. Our approach is different for these reasons:

We only measure behaviour in context.

People behave differently in different contexts. Measuring someone’s ability in one environment does not mean they’ll display that ability in another.

You’ll get complete personalisation.

We believe each company is unique. In fact, each role within each company is unique. Someone could perform well in the same job in another company and fail in yours.

We give you full transparency.

Jobs are constantly evolving. Unlike other assessment providers, if something’s not working, you have the power to change it.

We make your candidate the hero of the story.

We place the candidate in the heart of the story of a typical work day. If they don’t like the sound of the role or culture they can withdraw from the process at any time.

Let us show you how ThriveMap can work for your organisation.
