How We Hire.

Most recruiters start with a job description. We start with your problem. 

Introducing the S.O.L.V.E. framework, a structured approach to decisions that actually stick.

Nobody gave you a process for this.

They gave you a resume and a job description. A resume is a marketing document. A job description is a wish list frozen in time. Neither one was designed to predict whether someone will actually succeed in the role you need filled today.


So you interview. You compare. You go with your gut.


And sometimes, three months later, you know something is wrong. That is not a talent problem. It is a decision problem.

Most recruiters do not help you solve that problem.

They take your job description, clarify a few points, and start sending resumes. For straightforward roles, that is might be okay.


But when the hire carries real weight, speed without clarity is not efficiency.


It is risk dressed up as momentum.

Careers ​not jobs.

The workplace is changing faster now than ever, for the first time we’re seeing 4 generations of workers in the work place. Big data is beginning to impact supply chain and finance organizations everywhere, and we are experiencing a shift from a corporate controlled work environment to a collaborative, free agent work space.


The skills required to succeed in your career are changing so we work a little bit differently: at Horizon, we focus on careers not jobs. Everyone wants a great job, but a great career is the ultimate goal.

Introducing the S.O.L.V.E. Framework

Our proprietary hiring decision methodology. Not a form. Not a checklist.


A structured decision conversation that clarifies what the problem or opportunity actually requires before a search begins. It answers the question "What are we solving for?"


  • S - Situation

    What is truly driving this hire, and what is at stake if nothing changes? (Current State)

  • O - Outcomes

    What must this person deliver in 6 to 12 months for this to be a strong decision? (Future State)

  • L - Levers

    Which requirements geuinely predict performance, and which are just habit, preference or inherited language?

  • V - Values

    How dow someone create real impact here? What behaviors, decision style, and operating rhythm actually thrive in this environment?

  • E - Evidence

    Before they start, what signals give us rational confidence this person will produce the outcomes tha matter?

The 'E3' Experience. 

Have you ever been let down by your experience during the recruitment process? Unfortunately this is the case for too many people. Regardless of whether you’re a candidate, customer or even the recruiter in the recruitment process you may have left the recruitment experience wondering why it was that way. At Horizon, our mission is to build a company that leads the markets it serves by redefining the recruitment experience, and this is for everyone involved, all stakeholders.


 Everything we do is designed to be Effective, Enjoyable  and Empowering, or what we call E3.

Our mission statement, corporate philosophy, training and behaviours are all crafted around E3  which means all stakeholders work in unison to achieve long term sustainable goals. Want to find out more? Contact us today.

This conversation is not always comfortable. It challenges assumptions. It forces trade-offs. It surfaces stakeholder misalignment before it costs you.


That is intentional.


This approach requires something from both sides.   S.O.L.V.E. works when a client is genuinely committed to making a better decision, not just filling a seat. We are selective about where we apply it.

What changes when you hire this way?

You stop evaluating candidates against a job description and start evaluating them against a clear definition of success. Those are very different filters.


Interviews become sharper. Stakeholders align earlier. Scope drift drops. Debates shift from opinion to agreed criteria.



Decisions move faster, not because they are rushed, but because the target is clear and everyone is looking at the same one.


The result is not just a filled role. It is a stronger decision.

Not every hire needs this.

For routine backfills and contract roles, we move quickly. We have the network and the specialization to execute efficiently.


S.O.L.V.E. is for something different.


High-stakes roles.

Complex mandates.

Situations where the last hire did not deliver.


Or where internal alignment is not as clean as it appears.


If you are not sure which category applies, that is often the signal that a deeper conversation is worth having.

Tell us about your next hire.

We will tell you candidly whether S.O.L.V.E. is the right approach.


No obligation. No deck. No theatrics.


Just a focused conversation about how to make a stronger hiring decision.
