The source of better hiring.
Senior talent strategy without the senior salary. Anode gives growing companies a fractional talent leader who builds the system, leads the searches, and leaves you better at hiring than we found you.
Too big to wing your hiring. Too small for a full-time talent leader.
You scale fast, then go quiet, then scramble again. You need a system that holds up, not another agency invoice.
Key roles sit open for months. Senior hires fall through at the offer. The cost is real, and it compounds.
Your recruiter is drowning in reqs with no one above them who has run this at scale. I am that person, part-time.
Four ways to plug in.
Fractional talent leadership
I run your talent function part-time. Strategy, hiring system, key searches, hiring-manager coaching, and clear reporting. Your head of talent, on demand.
Talent projects
A hiring audit. An ATS you can actually use. Interview scorecards that work. A defined piece of work with a clear start, end, and price.
Hiring and placement
Need a specific seat filled? I run the search and place the hire, usually for less than an agency charges, with a replacement guarantee.
Employer brand
The story that makes great people want to join. Employer value proposition, careers content, and a presence that earns inbound talent.
Simple to start. Easy to scale.
We talk
A short call. You tell me where hiring hurts. No pitch, no obligation.
I assess and plan
I look at how you hire today and give you a clear plan, whether or not we keep working together.
We build, or I run it
Pick the engagement that fits. I build the system, lead the searches, or both.
An operator who has run the function, not just advised on it.
Most talent consultants have run a desk. I've hired the talent leaders and executive teams at EA, and built a 30-person talent team from the ground up at ApplyBoard. You are hiring someone who has done the hiring, not just advised on it.
Tell me where hiring hurts.
Twenty minutes, no pitch. If there is a fit, you will leave with a plan either way.
