Scale your vision.
If you’re a business owner, investor, or manager, you want to scale your vision and impact.
This requires assembling a strong team and delegating to them, which is powerful and scary.
The biggest lever you can pull is translating your business needs into actionable hiring criteria. You then implement a scalable talent system that consistently finds the right person for each role.
That system should reliably attract, identify, and land top performers who you can trust and who will thrive at your company long-term.
We teach you and your key team members a world-class interviewing and hiring process that does exactly that.
Build exceptional teams. Consistently.
On some level you know how important talent is (who doesn’t?) but it’s still a challenge to find the time and headspace to make a significant change from your current processes. After all, you have a day job. As a result, dialing in your approach to recruiting, interviewing and hiring the right people can feel overwhelming and a “we’ll get to it soon” priority. Thankfully, we’ve distilled it into a step-by-step methodology that we can teach to you and your key team members.
Welcome to the talent algorithm. Talgo helps you build sustainable competitive advantage in talent acquisition: You’ll define your company’s roles with clarity and precision, learn to source high-performers from diverse backgrounds, and master the fundamentals of data-driven interviewing. This empowers you to filter out costly hiring mistakes, deliver an exceptional candidate experience, and fill your teams with top talent working effectively towards your shared vision.
