Executive Recruiting & Talent Acquisition | Tait Consulting
Executive recruiting & full-cycle talent acquisition

Hire the person your firm can’t afford to get wrong.

We run searches grounded in how your firm actually works, not in a generic job description. From the first conversation to a smooth first 90 days, you work with a real person at every step.

The problem

You’ve hired impressive people before and watched it not work out

It usually wasn’t the résumé. It’s that nobody took the time to understand how your firm runs, who your team already is, and what this role has to carry.

A senior hire who doesn’t fit costs more than a search fee. It costs months, momentum, and the confidence of everyone watching. Generalist agencies send résumés. A firm needs someone who can tell the difference between a candidate who looks right and one who will actually thrive in the seat.

What’s included

A full-cycle search, from blueprint to start date

Everyday roles are filled with care. Attorney and executive searches are handled selectively, often on a retained basis, because those hires deserve real focus.

Hiring blueprint & scorecard

A launch meeting to map your goals, your people and your culture, then a scorecard built for this specific role.

Job description & content

A job description people are excited to read, plus the post graphics and copy to go with it.

Sourcing & posting

Indeed and LinkedIn postings, combined with thoughtful, direct outreach to the professionals you want on your team.

Pre-screening

Every candidate is pre-screened before they reach you, so your time goes to finalists only.

A structured 3-step interview process

Draft interview questions and a consistent process that helps your team compare candidates fairly.

Hiring manager coaching

Guidance for the people running the interviews, so the process feels as strong as the firm.

Offer, negotiation & onboarding paperwork

Support through the verbal offer, the final offer letter, and onboarding paperwork.

Success check-ins

We stay close after the start date so your new hire is set up to thrive.

Best when the seat matters and the last search didn’t land.

Our process

A clear process, and a real person at every step

Every search follows the same five steps, adapted to your firm and the role.

  1. We start with a conversation

    We listen closely, learn what success looks like for you, and map out the best path forward together.

  2. We get to know your firm

    Your goals, your people and your culture shape a hiring blueprint and scorecard built for this role.

  3. We find exceptional talent

    A job description people are excited to read, and thoughtful outreach to the professionals you want on your team.

  4. We present your best-fit finalists

    Every finalist is pre-screened, interviewed, and aligned with your team, your standards and your goals.

  5. We celebrate the start and stay close

    Offer support, a smooth onboarding, and check-ins that set your new hire up to thrive for years to come.

Why work with us

Most recruiters have never built an organization from the inside

Angela has. She has led HR, designed people operations, and studied organization development at the graduate level, which means she reads a hiring problem structurally rather than on the surface.

You are not handed a stack of résumés and left to guess. You work with someone who understands what the role has to hold, who your team already is, and what it will take for the next person to succeed once they are in the seat.

Angela assisted our organization in recruitment and hiring process of a key member of our Executive Leadership Team.
