What clients say

about us

Jeff Potter
CTO of Enveritas

“We had a great training session with Edward from Gordian Knot, focusing on active listening, structuring interviews, and reducing bias. Edward’s delivery was excellent—he’s an attentive listener and provided insightful answers to our questions. Our team left feeling much more confident and comfortable with the interview process. The highlights were learning about semi-structured interviews and using rubrics and scorecards to reduce bias. The team really appreciated the training, and I’d highly recommend Edward’s workshop to any team, especially if you want a fresh perspective on hiring practices.”

"Working with Edward and the team at Gordian Knot has been a game-changer for our hiring process. The training they provided completely transformed how we assess engineers for our roles, giving us more confidence that we're making the right hiring decisions. Their maturity assessment also helped us pinpoint key gaps in our hiring process, allowing us to make significant improvements. Additionally, the assistance with role analysis led us to craft a job description that was a much better match for the role and our team. We’re excited to see the continued impact of these changes on our hiring outcomes."
