The Talent Code unlocks HR and Talent Solutions for our clients.

Our network of experienced talent, HR and recruitment professionals develop customized solutions (we like to think of them as “codes”) to meet your unique needs. When you have the right combination of people, it’s like having all the numbers you need to open a safe. But if just one number isn’t right, that door won’t open, no matter how hard you try.

That’s where we come in. We have the insights and knowledge to help you find the right people and build great teams. Plus, we offer the skills you need to develop and retain them, help you solve talent challenges, and support you in building and maintaining a successful, happy group of people.

After all it is about finding and developing the right group of people for you.

How it Works

It is all about finding the unique combination that works for your organization. We charge hourly as consultants, so you don’t have to worry about paying any additional costs. You pull us in as you need us. Whether you want proactive recruitment support, HR expertise on an ad hoc basis, are looking for part-time (totally turnkey) HR support, or just need to pick our brains about something people-related, The Talent Code solves your challenges.

Stephen BrownPresident – Fuse Marketing Group Inc.

“Scott helped me through some very challenging times: a partnership buyout, a major renovation and a move into a new location. He offered wonderful advice and guidance in easing my school’s staff and students’ parents through these transitions. I was able to effectively move through some extremely stressful situations with his help. Scott helped me write and edit memos and also coached me for some challenging conversations. He has a wonderful way with people, is able to see situations from a variety of perspectives and it’s clear how much he truly cares about his clients. I will continue to work with Scott and look forward to his help as my business grows.”

Liz BoveyDirector – Westside Montessori School

“Our Board worked with Scott to search for an Executive Director in a highly competitive environment. Scott led and managed the entire process from job description to search to hiring. Thanks to his guidance, expertise, responsiveness we were able to find the ideal candidate in less than half the time we budgeted for the process. We would not hesitate to recommend Scott or to work with him again.”
