Purpose of Collaboration:
Challenge
Sagamore has experienced several sub-par hires that, although demonstrated the necessary hard skills, did not demonstrate the behavioral fit (i.e. soft skills) for the job. Consequently, they wanted to look beyond the resume, and understand their candidate’s personality-fit to the organization’s culture and the job (i.e. Investment Analyst role).
