Hiring the wrong person is expensive. But hiring the right person before your business is ready can be just as costly.

Drawing on 25 years of experience building Certus and supporting growing technology businesses, we've developed a practical assessment to help Founders and commercial leaders identify potential risks before making their next significant GTM hiring decision.
