Our Story |
 |
Our mission is to make the science of predicting employment success accessible to all people and all businesses.
Our journey starts in 1999, when Ben founded a business to help Fortune 500 companies learn more about how people "fit" their culture. Why? Because the greatest difference between successful and unsuccessful employment is almost always job fit.
Ben's business applied behavioral science to analyze and evaluate job candidates at companies like GlaxoSmithKline, Xerox and Nike. Behavioral science is a much better predictor of employment success than traditional tools, like interviews, supervisory ratings and background checks, as seen in the diagram below. |

By 2006, Ben's Fortune 500 clientele had expanded across five continents and hundreds of thousands of hires, when he realized that job fit is even more important for small and medium-sized businesses!
So Ben called the smartest guy he knew and, together, he and Jamie founded ClearFit™, in 2008, having invented a recruiting software tool that lets any person or business predict employment success - not just Fortune 500 employers. After all, small businesses like Microsoft and Google changed the world through hiring people who fit.
Their experience with Fortune 500 employers like GlaxoSmithKline, Xerox, Nike, Merrill Lynch, 3M and Procter & Gamble and top career centers like Harvard Business School puts some muscle behind our mission. |

| In 2008, we patented our job fit system and launched it to the public. Following many, many revisions and rebuilds, we launched our current version of ClearFit in 2009 and within two months of launching, ClearFit had hundreds of Clients... without any PR. |
