How We Work With Organizations

We audit hiring systems before they break. Most companies outgrow their hiring infrastructure between 100 and 1,000 employees—by the time it's obviously broken, they've lost millions in bad hires, burned managers, and missed opportunities.

Corporate IPO and AI Audit Services

  • THE HYPERGROWTH HIRING SYSTEM AUDIT

    $25,000 | 2 weeks

    For Series B-C companies (100-500 employees) scaling rapidly

    Most hypergrowth companies make the same 3-5 critical hiring mistakes during scale. Each costs $300K-$800K. We find them before they compound.

    What's included:

    Complete hiring system assessment (process, tech stack, team capability, metrics)

    Gap analysis identifying what will break as you scale to 2-3x your current size

    Benchmark comparison against companies that successfully scaled through your stage

    90-day implementation roadmap prioritized by impact

    One 90-minute presentation to leadership team

    30 days email/Slack support for implementation questions

    Deliverable: 15-20 page assessment report with executive summary, gap analysis, and prioritized action plan

    ROI: One bad executive hire costs $300K-$500K. This audit typically prevents 2-3 of those.

  • THE AI-READY HIRING SYSTEM AUDIT

    $45,000 | 3 weeks

    For companies using AI tools who need compliance assessment

    Post-Workday lawsuit, the legal landscape is clear: If your AI discriminates, you're liable—even if it's a vendor's tool. Most companies don't know which tools in their stack are creating exposure.

    What's included:

    Everything in the Hypergrowth Audit, PLUS:

    Complete AI tech stack audit and recommendation: (ATS screening, video interviews, assessments, chatbots)

    Legal liability assessment for algorithmic bias and discrimination risk

    Adverse impact testing across protected classes (where data exists)

    Vendor contract review for liability exposure

    AI ethics framework and governance recommendations

    12-month implementation roadmap prioritized by legal risk

    Two 90-minute working sessions (findings + implementation planning)

    60 days email/Slack support

    Deliverable: 25-30 page comprehensive report including AI risk scorecard, tool-by-tool risk assessment, and compliance roadmap

    ROI: Average AI discrimination lawsuit costs $500K-$2M in settlements plus legal fees. This audit costs $45K and helps to prevent that exposure.

  • THE IPO-READY TA INFRASTRUCTURE AUDIT

    $75,000 | 3-4 weeks

    For pre-IPO and newly public companies preparing for institutional scrutiny

    When you go through IPO due diligence, investors will evaluate your TA infrastructure against institutional standards. If it's not sophisticated enough, you'll delay your timeline or accept a valuation discount.

    What's included:

    Everything in the AI-Ready Audit, PLUS:

    IPO readiness assessment against institutional investor standards

    Due diligence preparedness evaluation (what investors will look for)

    Operational maturity scoring (process documentation, metrics, governance)

    Board-ready presentation deck with executive summary and risk analysis

    AI governance framework with policies and oversight structure

    Due diligence prep package (anticipated questions, documentation checklist)

    18-month strategic roadmap aligned with IPO milestones

    Three 2-hour working sessions (executive team + board presentation + implementation)

    60 days email/Slack support

    Deliverable: 35-40 page enterprise-grade report with board presentation, governance framework, and IPO readiness roadmap

    ROI: Companies that delay IPO by 12 months lose tens of millions in opportunity cost. Companies with immature TA systems see 5-15% valuation discounts. This audit costs $75K and typically prevents both.
