Hire Right

The wrong hire is expensive. The right process changes that.

Before you interview anyone, benchmark the role. Lynn uses DISC to build a profile of your ideal candidate — so you know exactly who you are looking for before you start looking.

The problem

Most hiring decisions rely on gut feel.

A CV tells you what someone has done. An interview tells you how they present. Neither tells you whether they are genuinely wired for the role — and whether they will thrive in your team’s communication environment.

Most organisations only define what they want in a candidate after they start looking. By then it is too late — you are already comparing against nothing. Hire Right flips that process.

Define the role before you define the candidate.

Hire Right uses DISC to build a benchmark of the ideal person for the role — based on what the role actually demands, not just what sounds good in a job ad.

Then it compares your shortlisted candidates against that benchmark — across 1440 data points — and gives you targeted interview questions built from the gaps.

The organisations that consistently get hiring right do one thing differently. They define what good looks like before they start looking — and they measure every candidate against that standard.

The process

Four steps to hiring with confidence

What you get

A complete hiring toolkit — not just a report.

Everything you need to make a confident, informed decision — built around your specific role, your specific candidates, and your specific team.

The report

Four dimensions. One clear picture.

Most assessments look at one thing. This report gives you four — each adding a layer of understanding that helps you ask better questions and make a confident call.

If the candidate you hire goes on to join the team, the benchmark assessment can be converted into a full DISC report — giving you a powerful communication and onboarding tool from day one.

Who it is for

This is the right process if any of these sound familiar.

Hire Right is built for organisations making hires where getting it wrong is not an option. Senior roles, leadership positions, or any role where communication style and cultural fit matter as much as technical skill.

• ✓ You have been burned by a hire that looked great on paper
• ✓ A key role is open and getting it wrong is not an option
• ✓ You are hiring for culture fit as much as technical skill
• ✓ You want candidates measured against a clear standard, not gut feel
• ✓ You want interview questions built from actual data, not a generic list
• ✓ You want to protect staff retention from the very first hire

Lynn Rolston

DISC Specialist and Leadership Coach

Lynn has spent over seven years working with leaders and teams who want to communicate better, connect more genuinely, and build the kind of trust that makes a team worth being part of.

Her background is in sales and education. She spent years as Branch Development Manager for Thermomix NZ, designing and delivering training to consultants and team leaders across the country — a role that gave her a frontline view of what communication looks like under real pressure, and what happens to teams when it breaks down.

Since joining the Maxwell Leadership certified team in 2018, she has specialised in the Maxwell Method of DISC applied through a leadership lens. The results tend to show up quickly: in meetings that run better, in relationships that feel less complicated, and in leaders who stop wondering why the same conversations keep going sideways.

Lynn describes herself as an introvert who genuinely loves people. She listens well, asks the right questions, and creates the kind of space where people say the things they have not known how to say before.
