Operating design

Turn repetitive recruiting work into a system.

We map the work across your desk and rebuild one useful workflow at a time, from sourcing and research through drafting, human review, handoff, and CRM updates. Each cycle ends with a working artifact your team can use.

  • One workflow per cycle
  • Built on real work
  • Documented for your team

Where teams get stuck

AI adoption fails between the tool and the work.

Your recruiters do not need another disconnected demo. They need a clear workflow, relevant inputs, a review point, and a practical way to use the result inside the desk.

01

Seats without a workflow

The team has access to AI tools, but nobody has redesigned the daily work around them.

02

Generic output

Prompts lack the niche context, evidence, tone, and decision rules that make the result useful.

03

Too many moving tools

The market changes quickly, while recruiters still need a stable way to do the work every day.

04

No recruiting context

General AI advice misses how sourcing, delivery, business development, and recruiter judgment connect.

The format

A monthly build cycle, not a one-off workshop.

Each cycle focuses on one real workflow. We diagnose it, rebuild it with the team, pilot it on live work, and document it before choosing the next one.

01

Four live working sessions

Use the calls to inspect real work, make decisions, build the workflow, and review it with the people who will operate it.

02

Async support between calls

Bring the prompt, workflow, or live edge case to the operator and keep the cycle moving without waiting for the next meeting.

03

Custom workflow design

Inputs, decision logic, tools, review points, outputs, and ownership are mapped around the way your desk actually works.

04

Working artifacts

Prompts, scripts, templates, automations, and checklists are built against real recruiting tasks instead of workshop examples.

05

Team playbook

The final workflow is documented so current recruiters can repeat it and new hires can learn it.

The monthly rhythm

One workflow per cycle, installed into the desk.

The goal is structural change. Each month leaves the team with one more operating workflow it can run, inspect, and improve.

Choose the first workflow
  1. 01

    Diagnose

    Watch the work happen.

    Map the inputs, judgment, bottlenecks, handoffs, tools, and risks in the current workflow.

    Week one
  2. 02

    Rebuild

    Design the better operating path.

    Turn the useful human judgment into explicit steps and automate only the work that should be automated.

    Week two
  3. 03

    Pilot

    Run it on live recruiting work.

    Test with real searches, accounts, candidates, and reviewers so the workflow meets the desk where it is.

    Week three
  4. 04

    Compound

    Document it and choose the next one.

    Capture what works, hand it to the team, and use the evidence to select the next highest-leverage workflow.

    Week four

Best fit

For teams ready to improve the way work gets done.

The engagement works best when leadership can name a recurring workflow, give us access to the people doing it, and pilot a better version on real work.

01

Boutique firms

Give a small team shared workflows for sourcing, research, outreach, and market intelligence.

02

Mid-size agencies

Create a consistent operating baseline while preserving the judgment of specialist recruiters.

03

Enterprise recruiting

Translate approved AI tools into governed, reviewable workflows for specific recruiting teams.

04

High-output operators

Help an experienced recruiter systematize repeat work without losing the nuance that drives results.

The engagement

One flat monthly rate.

No per-seat pricing and no long-term commitment. The engagement continues while the build cycles are producing useful workflows for the team.

Monthly workflow engagement $5,000 / month
  • Four live working sessions per month
  • Async support between sessions
  • One priority workflow rebuilt per cycle
  • Working artifacts and team documentation
  • Month-to-month, pause or cancel before the next cycle

Common questions

What teams ask before the first cycle.

We start with the workflow, then choose the tools and level of automation that fit the work, risk, and team.

Which AI tools does the engagement use?
We work with the tools your team has approved and add others only when the workflow requires them. The durable part is the operating design: inputs, instructions, evidence, review, and handoff.
How large does our team need to be?
The format can work with a solo recruiter, a specialist agency team, or an enterprise recruiting function. The key is having a real recurring workflow and someone who can pilot the new version.
What if our niche is highly specific?
Specificity is useful. We build the workflow around your market language, sources, job orders, quality bar, constraints, and examples rather than asking the team to use generic recruiting prompts.
What does the team keep?
Your team keeps the working artifacts created during the cycle and the playbook that explains how to operate them. Any installed system is documented around your environment and workflow.
How is this different from a workshop?
A workshop transfers ideas. This engagement changes one recurring workflow, pilots it on live work, and leaves the team with an installed, documented way to operate.

Start with the work

Bring us one recruiting workflow your team is tired of repeating.

We will map what is happening now, identify what belongs in a system, and scope a practical first cycle.
