The RMI™ was created out of a very real frustration.
As a global head of Talent Acquisition, our founder, Liza, kept hearing the same questions from senior leadership:
In response, she turned to every model and maturity framework available. But what she discovered was disappointing. Most options were not designed for recruitment.
They were complex HR assessments, developed by major consulting firms, and came with hefty price tags. Worst of all, they failed to provide actionable insight or clear direction.
- They did not tell her what needed to change.
- They did not reflect stakeholder perception.
- They did not help her build a stronger, more strategic function.
That was the spark that led to the creation of the Recruitment Maturity Index™.
So what does RMI™ do?
It benchmarks your current TA game.
The RMI™ surveys your recruiting team, HR partners, and hiring managers across key metrics; strategy alignment, processes, tech, data usage, and more, to generate a clear maturity score. Who doesn’t want that for their team?
It reveals critical disconnects.
Maybe you’ve poured budget into campus recruiting, but hiring leaders don’t see it as a priority. The RMI™ highlights those gaps, so you can align budgets, strategy, AND communication.
It drives strategic conversations.
Why businesses want it
Imagine This Scenario
You’re a fast-growing company that’s tossed every tool on the market at recruiting… and still struggling with turnover, slow hires, or mishires. The RMI™ comes in, runs the survey, and flags that your hiring managers don’t value structured interviewing — your biggest blindspot.
Action? You create prioritized training, refine interview guides, and shift system settings. Boom: better hires, faster turnaround, stronger employer brand.
The RMI™ uncovers the real levers you need to pull to turn talent acquisition into a growth engine, not just a hiring checklist. It’s transformative, data-driven, and business-aligned — and that’s why any organization wanting smarter, faster, more equitable recruiting shouldn’t just want it, but need it.
