Participation stays confidential
We do not publish a participant's identity, employer, raw notes, recordings, or an identifiable quotation without explicit permission. A point based on one conversation is labelled as such.
Join RESEARCH
Research forbetter hiring decisions.
We study how small and mid-sized hiring teams make decisions, where their processes stall, and which information changes their work. The aim is practical evidence, not a universal benchmark.
Responsible researcher
Daniel Ande
UX Research Lead at Join
Daniel leads UX Research at Join, studying how hiring teams make decisions and measure their work.
METHOD
From conversation to finding.
The programme combines three forms of evidence. Each answers a different part of the research question.
- 01
Moderated conversations
Recruiters and HR managers describe real decisions, workflows, and constraints.
- 02
Product observation
We examine what happened in the workflow, then investigate why it happened.
- 03
Structured analysis
Recurring themes are coded and kept separate from one-off observations.
RESEARCH STANDARDS
What the evidence can and cannot show.
Qualitative evidence has boundaries
Participants are not a representative sample of every European employer. Qualitative research can explain behaviour and decisions, but it cannot establish how common they are across the market.
