Our Services
Five Ways We Work With You
- Strategy
TA Strategy & Fractional Leadership
When your talent acquisition function needs a senior voice but not a full-time hire, TAO steps in as your fractional TA leader. We set strategy, align stakeholders, and build the operating model your team needs to scale.
- TA function design and org structure
- Hiring plan development and workforce forecasting
- Stakeholder alignment and hiring manager enablement
- Metrics framework and reporting infrastructure
- Fractional CHRO / Head of TA support
- Operations
Process Optimization & Recruiting Ops
Slow time-to-fill, inconsistent candidate experience, and ATS chaos are symptoms of a broken process. We audit your end-to-end hiring workflow, identify the friction points, and rebuild the playbooks your team needs to sustain results.
- End-to-end hiring process audit
- ATS configuration and optimization
- Interview process design and scorecard development
- Offer management and closing strategy
- Recruiting operations playbooks
- AI Readiness
AI Readiness, Evaluation & Implementation
AI is reshaping talent acquisition — but most TA teams are adopting tools without a strategy. TAO helps you assess your readiness, evaluate the right tools for your stack, and implement AI in a way that actually improves outcomes rather than adding complexity.
- AI readiness assessment for TA functions
- Vendor evaluation and tool selection (ATS, sourcing, screening, scheduling)
- AI tool implementation and change management
- Bias and compliance review for AI-assisted hiring
- Recruiter upskilling for AI-augmented workflows
- Enablement
Team Enablement & Interviewer Training
The quality of your hiring decisions is only as good as the people making them. We build recruiter capability, train hiring managers to interview with intention, and create the feedback loops that improve quality-of-hire over time.
- Recruiter coaching and skills development
- Structured interviewing and bias reduction training
- Hiring manager enablement programs
- Offer acceptance and candidate experience coaching
- Onboarding handoff process design
- Execution
Hands-On Recruiting Support
When you need to move fast and your team is stretched, TAO augments your recruiting capacity with hands-on support. We source, screen, and close — working inside your process, not around it.
- Sourcing strategy and pipeline development
- Candidate screening and assessment
- Interview coordination and scheduling
- Offer negotiation and closing support
- Embedded recruiter model for high-volume periods
How We Engage
Flexible Engagement Models
We structure engagements around your needs and budget — not the other way around.
Project-Based
A defined scope with clear deliverables and a fixed timeline. Best for process audits, playbook development, or a specific hiring initiative.
Ideal for: One-time challenges with a clear start and end.
Retainer
Ongoing advisory support on a monthly basis. We're available as a strategic partner — attending key meetings, reviewing decisions, and keeping your TA function on track.
Ideal for: Companies that need consistent senior TA guidance.
Fractional Leadership
TAO serves as your Head of TA or VP of Recruiting on a part-time basis. Full strategic ownership, embedded in your team, without the full-time cost.
Ideal for: Scaling companies without a senior TA leader in place.
