We’re not a traditional consulting shop.

WE'RE BORN FROM A NEW KIND OF EXPERTISE

A mashup of finance and talent management. We think differently.

We’ve led Finance, Talent Acquisition and Talent Management at Fortune 500 companies, including Home Depot, Coca-Cola and Revlon. We have hands-on experience in operations from startups to global multinationals. We understand the evolution of talent needs as a company grows.

Saying “people are our most important asset” was a convenient platitude for the last 2 decades, but now it’s a critical reality most companies aren’t set up to deal with.

We blend our deep HR and finance experience to illuminate the connection of talent investments with business value - so you can deal (and do more) - now.

What You Can Expect Working With Us

We don’t think having fun and being successful are mutually exclusive; we think they’re mutually reinforcing. You’re going to laugh more than you’d expect.

We have a healthy cynicism regarding “same old” HR solutions. You’re going to enjoy change more than you’d expect.

We believe the purpose of debate is progress, not victory - so you can expect pragmatic, evidence based discussions to help accelerate progress. You’re going to participate in deeper discussions about your business value drivers than you’d expect.

Hiring Manager Satisfaction Surveys: The Worst Thing to (Still) Happen to Talent Acquisition

Traditional recruiter satisfaction surveys, by which hiring managers rate recruiters based on their responsiveness and preferences, reinforce outdated and counterproductive hierarchies. Instead, the focus should shift to value-added metrics that reflect true recruiting effectiveness, such as speed, diversity, quality of hire, and cost effectiveness. Rather than simply serving the whims or beliefs of hiring managers, these objective performance metrics and outcomes of hired candidates challenge recruiters to be strategic partners and inspire them to achieve organizational goals and longer-term hiring success.
