AI Recruiting Advisory for Small Business
You're too small for a search firm and too busy to hire well on your own. We bridge that gap — 20+ years of real recruiting experience paired with practical AI, so you hire smarter, faster, and cheaper without a staffing firm or a six-figure HR department.
The cost of getting it wrong
A single bad hire costs 1.5 to 2x that role's annual salary in lost productivity, retraining, and turnover — and small businesses feel it hardest. There's no HR department to absorb the damage.
Why hiring feels broken
None of this is a personal failing. No one has built an affordable bridge between enterprise-grade recruiting and small business reality — until now.
Search firms charge 20–30% of first-year salary — $12,000 to $18,000 on a $60,000 hire. Enterprise AI recruiting platforms run $50,000+ a year. Small businesses can't afford either, so they hire poorly alone or don't hire at all.
AI recruiting tools exist at every price point, including free — but most owners have no idea how to use them well, so they avoid AI or use it wrong and write it off.
A role opens, a job gets posted, someone picks from who applies. No sourcing strategy, no screening framework, no data to learn from. Every hire starts from zero.
Hundreds of unqualified applicants bury the right ones. Without AI screening, review is slow, subjective, and exhausting — leading to rushed, bad decisions.
Staffing agencies work for their fee, not your outcome. Job platforms are transactional. Nobody's a trusted advisor who knows your business, knows the tools, and sticks around after the invoice clears.
The solution
Every relationship starts with the same first step, then splits based on how you hire.
A full assessment of your hiring process, tools, job descriptions, and candidate experience — with a written action plan and a 90-minute debrief. Gets everyone in the door.
A half or full-day working session that teaches your team to use AI recruiting tools, build a repeatable process, and evaluate candidates with confidence.
Think gym membership: continuous access to AI-powered recruiting support and expert guidance. The cost of not having it when a hire goes wrong is always higher.
