Lee McQueen, the former winner of The Apprentice and leader of the award-winning business, Raw Talent, shares his story and how it led to his latest tech startup. McQueen has a genuine passion for developing solutions that enable organizations to select and develop people.

Phoenix51 is a new technology platform enabling data driven decisions & bringing people assessment into the digital age. Underpinned by a core understanding of talent analytics's importance, he is a firm believer that a data-driven approach to assessment will define the next epoch in talent assessment and beyond.

I learn more about Phoenix51, a tech platform for remote hiring & onboarding. There is already a host of blue-chip clients on board, including Reach PLC, IHG, CenturyLink, Tottenham Hotspur, TP/ICAP, and Mediacom.

We discuss how the HR technology-enabled platform allows organizations to make data-driven decisions at every stage of the employee journey, from hiring through to benchmarking, training and retention, guaranteeing the highest return on investment from selected talent.

The platform creates digital frameworks and scorecards that allow organizations to assess and interview against key behaviors and competencies specific to a job role in vertical and horizontal hiring. It also takes essential interviewing and assessment to the next level by automating the data, giving candidates and employees incredibly accurate and detailed feedback.

However, at the heart of everything, it's not the technology that excites McQueens, but it's engaging and making a difference with people.
