WE ARE
We empower businesses with the strategy, process, and tools to hire and retain the right people, and design high performance teams that get results. Our data driven, time proven approach has helped small and medium sized business, as well as Fortune 500 companies.
For many businesses, hiring is driven by a sense of "emergency urgency" often leading to bad hires and, ultimately, replacement hires, burning through precious time and money unnecessarily.
​
What's worse, poor hiring decisions can tank employee morale, create an environment of under performance, micromanagement, high drama, and creates a glass ceiling preventing business advancement.
​
But the good news is that by using the right strategy and tools, businesses can consistently attract and hire great people, build high performing teams, and focus on growing their business.
​
That's where we can help...

SERVICES
CANDIDATE SOURCING STRATEGY
Does this sound familiar? You need qualified candidates – like yesterday - so you post the job on your favorite job board. The first couple of days, resumes start pouring in – great! But when you start to take a look, you start to think they MUST have thought they were applying for another job, because they don’t REMOTELY qualify for the position YOU posted. Then you realize you’ve just wasted a bunch of time only to find that almost none of the applicants come close to what you’re looking for. Frustration mounts as you keep reviewing the resumes just to find ways to justify an interview, knowing you’re about to waste yet more time with the wrong people.
We’ll help you to come up with the best way to source qualified candidates for any of your roles.
INTERVIEW TRAINING
While interviews are a critical part of making the right hiring decisions, most managers involved in the process have full schedules, overloaded days, and would rather be doing almost anything else than interviewing candidates. This often results in managers resorting to “shoot from the hip” unstructured interviews with mostly simple yes–or–no questions that don’t provide a clear, accurate view of the candidate – so who they think they see, isn’t really who they’re looking at. The result: bad or underperforming hires.
Having great interviews requires training on how to properly conduct the interview, ask the right questions, and listen for the right answers to make good hiring decision.
RECRUITMENT WORKFLOW DESIGN
Everyone agrees that hiring the right people is a critical part of running a successful business – but it’s a process, not an event. Yet many businesses overlook or don’t know what the process should be. Time constraints, stretched resources, and lack of planning lead to ad-hock, inconsistent hiring. The results: employees who under-perform, low morale, and the expensive disruption of high turnover.
​
However, a consistent, disciplined hiring process rooted in best practices will help improve performance and morale, while lowering the financial and human cost of employee turnover.
STRATEGIC JOB DESCRIPTIONS
Whether employees leave suddenly or business expansion requires additional hands on deck, the hunt to fill positions is often fast and furious, with no time to review existing job descriptions or create new ones. Managers settle for outdated, 2-dimensional job descriptions with a laundry list of responsibilities and skills. The problem is that these descriptions won’t accurately tell you what skills and experience the ideal candidate should have and – even more importantly – won’t tell you what kind of behavioral competencies the right candidate should have. The result: missed opportunities to attract ideal candidates and spending lots of wasted time interviewing unqualified ones.
We provide services to transform ordinary job descriptions into Success Profiles that help you attract highly qualified candidates who have the skills and experience you’re looking for and have the blend of behavioral competencies that fit well with your team and company culture.
TECHNOLOGY OPTIMIZATION
The recruitment process is full of burdensome administrative tasks. Organizing, communicating, coordinating and keeping track of all relevant information takes precious time and focus away from other key responsibilities hiring managers need to tend to. But not being on top of the process means you’re not attracting the best candidates or, even if you do, you take too long to decide and lose them to your competition.
Having an applicant tracking system can significantly reduce the time and drain on your resources and put you in a better position to hire the candidate of your choice. But with so many systems out there to choose from, how do you figure out which system is best for your organization? And if you do have one, how do you know if you’re optimizing the benefits?
We'll help you find the best solution that meets your needs and your budget, and help you optimize what you may already have.
ASSESSMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
Knowing which assessments to use and when to use them can be daunting, even confusing – and not using assessments properly can result in missed opportunities to hire the best candidates. Even worse, hiring on a “gut feeling” can lead to a bad hire and no way to hire better next time. We’ll help you identify the best position-specific assessments to use and determine the best point in the process to use them. We’ll also provide you with a disciplined, consistent way to compare candidates, so you don’t have to rely simply on how you and your team feel.
