Let’s Talk About Your People Goals
Scientifically Validated People Decisions • 20+ Years of Proven Results
Stop Losing Sleep Over
Costly Bad Hires.
We use data-driven, whole-person assessments to predict who will be a top performer in your specific role, before you hire them. We also help you develop, coach, and retain the people you already have. Backed by a 50/50 shared-risk guarantee.
The Problem
Your People Decisions Are Costing You More Than You Think
If your people decisions still rely on gut feel, resumes, and first impressions, you are likely leaving significant revenue on the table. Popular four-quadrant personality quizzes and unstructured interviews produce unpredictable outcomes. The result? You end up managing underperformance, dealing with costly turnover, and lying awake worrying about missing your targets.
At PeopleRight, we bring engineering discipline to people decisions. Our scientifically validated, three-step process measures how people naturally think, lead, and handle stress, then benchmarks them directly against your actual top performers. Whether you are hiring, coaching, or developing your team, you get the confidence of knowing you have the right people in the right roles. And we back it up by sharing the financial risk with you.

Our 3-Step Process
How PeopleRight Predicts Performance
We don’t rely on gut feel or generic assessments. Every step is grounded in data, benchmarked against your actual top performers.
Define Your Top Performers
We don’t rely on industry averages. We work with you to define exactly what top performance looks like for your specific roles and culture, creating a precise benchmark built from your best people.
Align Candidates with Data
We merge your desired performance results with our database of measured attributes. We evaluate the whole person — cognitive ability, behavioral traits, and interests — to predict how each candidate will actually perform.
Refine Your People Process
We adjust your selection, onboarding, and development processes to build and keep more top performers consistently. You receive targeted interview questions and coaching guides so every people decision is strategic.
The 50/50 Shared-Risk Promise
We stand behind our science. You pay 50% upfront. If we do not demonstrate measurable people performance results, you do not pay the remaining balance. We earn your trust through outcomes, not promises.
What Our Clients Say
Real Results from Real Leaders
The tools and processes that Symon now uses from PeopleRight work far better than anything else I have ever used for predicting the performance of Salespeople. We have seen when hiring new salespeople that using PeopleRight’s tools and processes results in over $250,000 additional revenue per hire per year.
We have partnered with PeopleRight for over 10 years to help us make people decisions that improve our company’s bottom-line performance, and they have demonstrated an ability to show measurable results across all roles in the organization.
Our experience has proven it is much wiser to spend a few hundred dollars up front and to give credence to the results, than to hire effectively blind without it. We can count at least two instances where hiring without a PeopleRight assessment has cost the company multiple tens of thousands of dollars.
Working with Mike and his assessments has been a game-changer! It has changed the way I hire and coach new employees. I am now introducing him to my clients so they can benefit from collecting better information and making more informed decisions.
Mike McCormack
Founder, PeopleRight
Meet the Founder
Engineering Discipline, Applied to People
Mike McCormack, Founder of PeopleRight, has been on both sides of the hiring equation many times. As a working professional, Mike spent the first 20+ years of his career in 10 different job titles for 5 different companies. Out of those 10 jobs, there are at least 8 he wouldn’t want to go back and do again, and he was never let go for poor performance. That’s why he started PeopleRight: to help companies like yours better understand job fit and how to measure it, so you can get the right people in the right seats faster.
Since starting PeopleRight in 2002, Mike has worked with over 100 companies, including two Fortune 300 companies. His clients say working with Mike improves their bottom line, because they better understand what top performers look like and how to recognize them when they walk in the door. Some of his first-year clients are still clients today, and 98% of his clients have signed on for additional work after their first project was completed.
Mike says the best part of what he does is that it creates what Stephen Covey calls a win-win. When companies put people in jobs they are naturally wired for, they perform better, because they aren’t having to be someone they are not (which causes stress). And in case you are wondering: Mike doesn’t come at this from the ‘touchy-feely’ side of the equation. He holds an engineering degree and an MBA from Texas A&M University, and he knows ROI is what drives businesses to change their people processes.

“The Magic of Job Match”
How to dramatically increase the performance of your organization
Job match drives job performance more than any other single factor, yet so few leaders know what it means or how to maximize it. This book is a primer for leaders at all levels of an organization to understand and apply job match methodologies and processes to enhance the performance of their teams.
Readers get a working understanding of the basics of job match they can apply to their own organization, examples of what to avoid, and real results from leaders who have put these principles to work. Best of all, it ends with a road map showing how to get started with your team.

Frequently Asked Questions
Generic personality tools like DISC or MBTI are not designed or validated for people decisions. We use whole-person assessments that measure cognitive ability, behavioral traits, and interests, then benchmark individuals directly against your proven top performers. The result is a predictive, role-specific match score, not a generic personality label.
We believe in sharing the risk. So, for your first project you pay half of the agreed fee upfront, and the other half upon successful completion of the project — and you get to define what “successful completion” means. If our process does not demonstrate measurable people performance improvements, you do not pay the remaining balance. We earn your trust through outcomes, not promises. This model has been our standard for over 20 years — and 98% of clients continue working with us after the first engagement.
Not at all. Our Define, Align, and Refine process is straightforward and guided by our team at every step. We do the heavy analytical lifting so you can focus on leading your business. Most clients are up and running with their first benchmark within days of their initial consultation.
