At TalentRise, we understand the importance of properly aligning candidates with both the role and our clients’ culture. Not only do our comprehensive sourcing and recruitment processes utilize a carefully crafted and strategic approach, but we leverage a suite of predictive analytics and behavioral assessment tools to measure candidate job fit. These various components are critical in effectively executing on our search deliverables on behalf of our clients. In addition, to help our executive placements in navigating the operational, team, and cultural hurdles that they may encounter during the first 90 days post-hire, we include an executive onboarding coach with our fees.

Leveraging years of experience from our sister company, Viaduct, we’re well attuned to the challenges that come with hiring for startups. Our executive recruiters can help you find the best-fit interim or full-time C-Level leaders who possess the know-how and passion to enable business success.
