People

Your best people, doing what they do best.

Strengths-based hiring and team design for leaders who want people to stay.

Amy Riccardi listening during a working session with a leadership team
Sound familiar?

The hire looked right on paper. The work told a different story.

  • A great resume and a great interview, and the hire still does not work out.
  • Your best expert gets promoted into management and struggles.
  • Teams are built on job titles, not on how people actually work.
How we do it

Three steps. The same three that took one organization from 45% turnover to 0%.

  1. Define the core values.We work with your leaders to name what the organization stands for and hires by.
  2. Hire for values and experience.We use Kolbe RightFit™ to match how a person naturally takes action to what the role needs.
  3. Put people where they are strongest.After the hire, Kolbe and CliftonStrengths® show each person’s strengths so work can be aligned to them.
What we offer

Four ways we help you get the right people in the right roles.

Values-aligned hiring

We build a hiring process around your values and the Kolbe RightFit™ system, so you hire people who share your values and are wired for the role.

Team design

Career Path Model™

Career Path Model™

Three ways to grow, not one.

Most organizations have one way up: become a manager. That costs you great experts and gains you reluctant managers. The Career Path Model gives people three tracks into leadership.

Career Path Model: early career in the core business branches into three tracks, Team Management, Subject Matter Expert and Internal Management, which all lead to Leadership.
