For C-suite leaders at workforce-dependent businesses

Make hiring predictable before it constrains growth.

When open roles limit service delivery and revenue, the talent acquisition function cannot be an unknown. ATA helps leaders build the capacity to hire to plan without uncontrolled outside spend.

  • Operators, not consultants

    Led by two former VP-level talent acquisition operators who have managed more than $100M in annual recruiting spend.

  • No hand-off after the sale.

    The people who scope the work are the people who do it.

  • Built across high-volume hiring environments.

    Experience supporting organizations hiring 500 to 100,000+ people annually.

  • Experience in complex operating environments.

    Work across PE-backed, public, private, and nonprofit organizations.

Where the growth plan gets constrained

When hiring cannot meet demand, or costs too much to do it, the business feels it.

Leadership teams rarely need “better recruiting.” They need predictable hiring capacity at a cost the business can defend.

Hiring demand is outpacing capacity.

New locations, client commitments, service lines, and acquisitions are modeled around revenue. They also need a credible staffing plan. Without one, the ramp slips and the business reads an execution issue as a market issue.

Outside spend is rising without better outcomes.

Agency fees, contract recruiting, and job advertising can increase without improving the flow of qualified hires. The result is higher cost, delayed revenue, and openings that stay open longer than the plan allows.

Technology is creating drag instead of leverage.

A new system cannot repair unclear ownership, weak workflow, or inconsistent data. Before another platform is funded, identify whether the constraint is the tool, the process, or the way the team uses both.

Leadership cannot see or manage the real constraint.

The team has technology, but recruiters still work around it, hiring managers do not trust the process, and leadership cannot connect spend to results.

OUR PROCESS

See the constraint before you fund the fix.

Start with an executive-level view of where talent acquisition may be limiting capacity, cost control, or growth. Go deeper only when the evidence warrants it.

01

ATA Audit

ATA’s proprietary outside-in assessment flags potential constraints on hiring capacity and cost. No system access is required.

02

Deep Diagnostic

If the Audit indicates deeper work, ATA combines operating expertise, stakeholder input, and ATS data to validate the highest-priority issues.

03

Operating Roadmap

ATA turns findings into decisions on capacity, spend, technology, ownership, and sequencing.

04

Implement and Embed

ATA helps make the changes, measure adoption, and leave ownership in place.

FAQ

Common questions

A few of the things prospective clients ask us most.

No. We do not place candidates or take a percentage of salaries. We fix the hiring function itself — the process, technology, and reporting your own team runs every day.

The ATA Audit is complimentary. If the evidence supports a Deep Diagnostic, we scope and price that paid engagement before work begins.

The ATA Audit is designed to provide an initial point of view quickly. Timing for a Deep Diagnostic is set during scoping, based on the work required.

Talent is not a function. It is a strategic advantage.
