Pre-Hire
Pre-hire Simulations for Better Hiring Decisions
Live, semi-scripted Zoom-based scenarios using professionally trained actors will allow you to see how candidates actually perform before you hire them.
What it is
We run realistic, one-on-one scenarios between your candidates and our actors.
Each scenario is designed around situations the role actually requires—managing a difficult employee, handling a client conversation, navigating conflict, or making decisions under pressure.
Sessions are conducted over Zoom and are recorded for internal review.
No facilitators. No software. No artificial exercises.
Just real interaction in a controlled setting.
Why it matters
Interviews measure how well someone talks about what they would do.
Simulation shows you what they actually do.
Candidates often perform well in conversation—but struggle when faced with:
ambiguity
emotional dynamics
resistance from others
Live simulation reveals how they think, communicate, and respond in real time—before you make a hiring decision.
Where teams use this
Q1
Management hiring
Evaluate how candidates handle performance issues, team conflict, and leadership situations
Q2
Sales hiring
See how candidates run discovery, handle objections, and manage difficult buyers
Q3
Client-facing roles
Assess communication, judgment, and composure under pressure
How it works
Each engagement is built around the role you're hiring for.
We define 1–2 realistic scenarios, run candidates through them individually, and provide recordings for your team to review.
Most clients use this as a focused step within an existing hiring process.
Pricing
Pricing depends on the number of candidates and scenarios.
Most teams start with a small group of candidates and expand based on what proves useful.
Who we are
Savvy Civility has worked since 2018 with medical schools, nursing programs, pharmacy programs, and high-stakes trial teams—where simulation is used to evaluate real-world performance. We apply the same methodology to hiring.
