Training washout doesn't start in academy. It starts in hiring, when a recruit who can't hold three pieces of information at once gets a green light because the screening didn't measure that. ReadyFirst measures the cognitive abilities that predict who graduates — before you spend six months finding out the hard way.
The cost of a washout isn't just the training dollars. It's the hours your CTOs spent on a candidate who's now leaving. It's the seat that's empty again. It's the cohort below targeted size for the next year — and the overtime your existing staff is working to cover for it.
The cognitive abilities that predict who survives the CTO program are measurable in a 45-minute pre-employment assessment. ReadyFirst uncovers them before the offer letter, not in week six of academy.
If the prediction lives upstream of the training investment, the training investment lands on candidates who'll graduate. The dollars stop subsidizing the wrong recruits.
ReadyFirst measures multiple cognitive constructs separately rather than collapsing them into a single composite. The candidate who scrapes through on the strength of one ability while masking a weakness in another is the candidate who washes in month three.
The expensive washouts aren't the obvious bad fits — those rarely pass screening. They're the candidates whose pre-hire data was thin enough to feel inconclusive.
Same instrument across rounds means washout rates can be tied back to the cognitive profile of each cohort. You can actually tell whether a process change moved the number — or didn't.
Without a stable measurement frame, every washout feels like a bad-luck story. With one, you see the patterns and can act on them.
