The HRI predicts failure.
Before the status report does.
A mandate failure is not an event. It is the end point of a cascade that started 4–6 weeks earlier. The Hiring Reliability Index™ detects that cascade at the start, when recovery is still straightforward.
The Failure Cascade
How mandates fail, sequentially.
Mandate failure follows a predictable sequence: pipeline velocity slows first, usually in weeks 3–5. Outreach response decays second, typically weeks 5–7. Shortlist quality drops third as the pipeline thins. Hiring manager frustration surfaces last, in weeks 9–12.
By the time frustration is visible, the cascade is already at stage four. The HRI detects stage one.
Stage 1: Velocity Decay (Weeks 3–5)
Pipeline stage transitions slow. Candidates take longer to move from outreach to screening. HRI sub-signal drops. This is the highest-leverage intervention point.
Stage 2: Response Decay (Weeks 5–7)
Outreach reply rate falls below baseline. The candidate pool that hasn’t responded is largely exhausted. New sourcing approach required. HRI composite score drops.
Stage 3: Shortlist Thinning (Weeks 7–9)
Fewer qualified candidates in the active pipeline. Shortlist quality score drops. Hiring manager starts asking where the candidates are. HRI enters critical range.
Stage 4: Visible Failure (Weeks 9+)
Hiring manager escalates. Leadership gets involved. Mandate is declared stalled. By this point, the HRI has been in critical territory for 3–4 weeks.
Prediction, Not Description
The model looks forward.
The HRI does not just describe current mandate health. It projects the likely HRI trajectory over the next 14 days based on the current signal pattern — and identifies which specific action has the highest probability of reversing the trajectory.
Majhi OS shows you not just your HRI score but your projected HRI score in 14 days if no action is taken. That projection is the intervention trigger.
Recovery Sequences
Prediction is only useful if it drives action.
When the HRI predicts a downward trajectory, Majhi OS surfaces the recovery sequence that has historically worked for the specific signal pattern. The prediction and the remedy arrive together.
