Align
Agree what the hire must deliver before the search opens. The Cipher settles “not quite right” on day one, not week six.
Stop losing placements to your client's interviews.
You can run a clean search and still lose the hire when the client's interview loop has no agreed standard. HireBest keeps the role, interviews and decision in one shared process.
What changes when the engagement runs on HireBest
Four practical changes close the gaps between a good shortlist and a good decision.
See
Every interview, rating and note lives in a workspace you and your client share.
Decide
Each interviewer rates the same deliverables independently, with evidence and a written reason.
Retain
Make the decision against an agreed Cipher, then leave the client with a roadmap for the hire.
How an engagement runs
1. Define
You and the hiring manager build the Cipher. The client approves it.
2. Run
Candidates, interviews and ratings live in the client's workspace. You are on the team for every role.
3. Decide and hand over
The offer goes to the evidence. The client keeps the system when you leave.

Frequently asked questions
Do our clients have to use HireBest?
No. You bring it; they choose. Most do once they have seen a Cipher written for their own role.
Who holds the account?
Your client. Your recruiters join their workspace as part of the hiring team, with access only to that client.
Does it replace our ATS?
No. HireBest runs alongside any ATS. It covers the part your ATS does not: defining the role, running the interviews, and helping you make the decision.
What happens when the engagement ends?
The client keeps everything: the workspace, every Cipher, interview and rating. Your access ends; their system does not.
How long does a Cipher take to build?
One working session with the hiring manager, with Henry drafting. Try it free on a role you are filling now.
