Who We Help

Technology & Life Sciences organizations—typically 100 to 3,000 employees.

What they have in common:   Complex roles, hiring volatility, & high expectations.

CHROs

The board and your C-suite peers see headcount.  You see everything behind it.

Hiring doesn’t come in a straight line.

Talent Acquisition functions must be built to flex with demand without sacrifice.

That requires investment & modernization.

Cost control today becomes much more expensive down the line…

SCALE Effective.
Efficient.
Flexible.

Root Cause underinvestment
Broken TA functions trace back to this decision.
leading to...
◈ recruiter capabilities gap
Low budget gets you transactional recruiters not partners — and a ton of search firm spend.
◈ weak strategic elements
Selection framework, branding, talent pipelines, analytics — not happening... & wave to quality.
◈ reactive process
Every search starts from scratch — process works against, not for, you.
◈ outdated tooling & tech
ATS configuration, responsible AI sourcing & screening, CRM, integrated systems at each stage are within reach...if only for the budget.
resulting in...
cost-per-hire
25% agency fees are just the start. Time is money. So are negative Glassdoor reviews.
quality-of-hire
You only notice quality-of-hire after you’ve landed an all-star. Every element of TA you invest in increases your odds of doing it again.
time-to-fill
There is no empirical formula for measuring needlessly wasted time, but it has got to be huge.

Net Effect no scale — at any speed
Whether you need to hire 200 people in a quarter or find one transformative leader — an underfunded TA function will struggle. Scale is a foundational problem.
How We Engage
Two paths.
One standard.
Client engagements are scaled around where you are, where you want to go, and what you need to get there.

You have a solid foundation but there are parts missing or in need of a refresh. You’re not rebuilding, you’re evolving.
How it works
Together, we assess and align on priorities, define the work, and execute alongside you and your team. Scope flexes to where it drives the most impact.
Either path starts with a conversation.
About

Principal-led

TAS is a boutique advisory. You will only work with a senior-level advisor who has spent the bulk of their career leading TA teams for mid-sized tech and/or life sciences companies that experience similar challenges: complex roles in high demand, alongside volume volatility that pushes and pulls with little notice.

Talent At Scale was formed from two realities:

1. Building or rebuilding a high-performing TA function is a fundamentally different job than running one.

2. TA functions are difficult to scale. And it’s about more than just volume.

There are four core interconnected metrics that signal performance and many levers to pull for impact.

Whether you are looking at a fresh build, full transformation, or to layer on strategic elements to an already solid foundation, we bring the expertise to help you scale and modernize your function. We assume ownership and hand it back better than we found it.

Build.  Rebuild.  Evolve.

Let’s Talk

The conversation starts here.

An honest look at where your TA function is, where it needs to go, and what it will take to get there—grounded in your priorities and informed by our perspective.
