true story
Our mission is to create innovative solutions for every point in the talent lifecycle. From recruitment to succession planning, our holistic approach solves talent owners’ biggest challenges.
Search
Our functional and industry experts place dynamic talent for companies going through transformation or seeking growth. We combine data and insights to help clients make the best hiring decisions.
Development
We use natural language processing, machine learning, and agile action plans to develop leaders’ potential and produce high performers.
Technologies
We built technology that makes talent management more collaborative. We invested in our idea, used it with our clients, then spun it out to make it available to everyone.
Innovation is part of who we are and we’re proud to work alongside the companies fueling the world’s economy. We’ve come a long way but we’re not done yet.
