Consulting & Advisory

Your recruiting process is broken.
We'll tell you exactly why.

Fractional TA leadership, process redesign, compensation benchmarking, and recruiting infrastructure — for organizations that need more than a search and aren't sure where to start.

What This Is

More than a search.
A system that actually works.

Some organizations don't have a search problem. They have a process problem. Roles stay open for months not because the candidates don't exist, but because the hiring strategy is unclear, the job is marketed to the wrong audience, the interview process is inconsistent, or new hires aren't surviving onboarding.

We've built recruiting functions from scratch, redesigned broken ones, and provided fractional TA leadership to organizations that needed senior-level expertise without a full-time hire.

This engagement is for the organization that needs someone to come in, understand what's actually going wrong, and build something that outlasts the engagement. Not a report. Not a PowerPoint. A functioning system.

Process assessment and redesign
We audit your current recruiting process end to end — from how roles are defined to how offers are extended — and identify where you're losing candidates and time.
Compensation benchmarking
We tell you what the market is actually paying for the roles you're trying to fill. Not ranges from three years ago. Current data from real searches in your markets.
Talent pool mapping
We identify where your candidates actually are — which platforms, which networks, which communities — before you invest in sourcing strategies that won't reach them.
Onboarding and retention design
The search doesn't end at the offer. We help you build the pre-boarding communication, first-day experience, and 30-60-90 day framework that keeps hires from walking out early.
Fractional TA leadership
Need a senior recruiting leader without the full-time commitment? We embed at the leadership level, run your function, and build the team or process you need.
Playbooks and documentation
We build the hiring manager guides, interview frameworks, and recruiting playbooks that make your process repeatable — so it doesn't walk out the door with any one person.
Who This Is For

Right for organizations
that need to build something

You have no recruiting infrastructure
No defined process, no job board presence, no candidate pipeline. You've been hiring informally and it's showing up in your results. We build it.
You need senior TA leadership but not a full-time hire
A fractional recruiting leader who can set strategy, run the function, and build the team — without the overhead of a permanent senior hire before you know what you actually need.
Your process is there but it's not working
You have a process. Roles are still staying open too long, new hires aren't making it past 90 days, or hiring managers are frustrated. We diagnose and fix.
How It Works

What to expect

1
Assessment
We spend real time understanding your current state — what you have, what's working, what isn't, and what the downstream impact has been. This isn't a survey. It's a genuine operational review.
2
Diagnosis and recommendations
We tell you what we found and what we recommend. Honest, specific, and prioritized by impact. You'll know exactly what to fix first and why.
3
Build and implement
We don't hand you a report and leave. We build the thing — the process, the playbook, the platform presence, the communication templates. Whatever the situation calls for.
4
Transfer and documentation
Everything we build is documented so your team can run it after we're gone. The goal is a system that doesn't depend on us to function.
5
Ongoing support
Some clients want a clean handoff. Others want a continuing partner as they grow. Either works. We structure the engagement around what you actually need.
Our Commitment

We stay in it
with you

Our UGA Auxiliary Services engagement is the best example of what this looks like in practice. We came in with 40 open roles, 40% early turnover, no external presence, and no pipeline. Over two years we brought active openings from 40 to roughly 10, rebuilt the pre-boarding process, and gave leadership real data on turnover for the first time. That's the standard we hold ourselves to.

90-Day Placement Guarantee
If your placement leaves within 90 days of their start date for any reason other than position elimination or company-initiated layoff, we conduct a full replacement search at no additional retainer fee. No fine print. No debate about whose fault it was.
Common Questions

What people
ask us most

Fractional TA leadership means we embed at the recruiting leadership level — setting strategy, running the function, managing vendors, and building the team or process — without the cost of a full-time senior hire. It's appropriate when you need senior-level expertise and accountability but aren't ready to commit to a permanent CHRO or VP of Talent Acquisition.
Yes. This is one of the most common situations we work in. Roles staying open too long, new hires not surviving 90 days, hiring managers frustrated with the quality of candidates — all of these point to process problems, not just sourcing problems. We assess what's actually broken and fix it, rather than prescribing a solution before understanding the situation.
Most onboarding problems come down to communication gaps between offer acceptance and day one — candidates don't have the right information, hiring managers don't know their role in pre-boarding, and new hires show up uncertain or not at all. We redesign the pre-boarding communication, build accountability systems for hiring managers, and create a structured first-90-day experience. Our UGA engagement reduced no-shows to orientation significantly through exactly this kind of work.
Consulting engagements are scoped and priced based on the specific work — some are project-based with a defined deliverable, others are ongoing retainers for fractional leadership. We discuss structure on a discovery call and build the engagement around what you actually need, not a pre-packaged offer.
