Built for today, light by design.
Most outcomes start and end with CEO Signal™, our conversation and two page brief that clarifies the decision. Often, the brief is enough. When it isn’t, we add only what is needed: a quick surgical follow up.
Labs + Builds
After the brief, if you still need help, we run a short, focused diagnostic to shape discovery before any lab or build. Each example below shows the issue, what we guided, and the type of solution. Compact, short, fixed cost. Light lift with clear owners and tight handoffs.
Primary path: Start with CEO Signal for a brief in 48 hours.
In practice, we move in days or weeks, hand off cleanly, and then step out—we’re not a body shop or a billable-hour machine. If more support helps, we can extend from a 4–6 hour diagnostic to a 2–3 day lab, a short sprint, or a lite retainer. Quick by design—never a big SOW.
A few examples:
For a Global Manufacturer: Talent work felt busy, not strategic. We worked alongside the team to align TA and Marketing on one message, co-create two lightweight playbooks, and set a two-week rhythm with clear owners and simple measures.
For a Private Equity Firm: A fast reset was needed. We partnered with the team to launch a new corporate site and a careers site on a right-sized ATS, and we helped establish a formal recruiting cadence that produced early hires.
For a Technology Services Firm: Recruiting was inconsistent and tools fragmented. We supported the team to validate strategy, implement a right-sized ATS, rebuild job content, launch workflows, enable company-wide sourcing, map 100 competitors to define a talent universe, and improve interview signal and scoring.
