Price & Speed That Help You Perform

Performance employer branding you can actually access.

Fast, fairly priced, and built for companies with 1,000–2,000 employees. Ship in 3 weeks. Clear pricing. No bloat.

What it is: Access without compromise

Most agencies chase retainers and photo shoots. We optimize for outcomes you can afford and launch now. The model: a 3‑week build, minimal meetings, and transparent pricing that directs budget to the parts that change hiring—message, proof, and recruiter tools—not to creative overhead.

Who this is for: TA leaders at companies 200-2,000 who need reliable coverage on critical roles and a brand the business will actually fund.

Why it works: Constraints create focus

Constraints are a feature. Standardizing what doesn’t need reinvention and using async interviews + AI‑driven data collection compresses time and cost without watering down the thinking. We cut the theater, wire assets into your ATS/CRM, and put copy your recruiters can send this week.

Translation: budget spent on tools that convert, not decks to admire.

Pricing you won’t see here: surprise invoices, change orders to “keep the creatives fed,” or month‑six “refreshes.”

Problems this fixes

  • “We can’t afford a six‑month agency circus.” → 3‑week build, minimal calendar tax.
  • “Budget gets eaten by creative that doesn’t convert.” → Spend shifts to recruiter tools and copy that moves numbers.
  • “Leadership thinks employer brand is a luxury.” → 30‑day scoreboard reframes it as a lever.
  • “Vendors don’t take us seriously because we’re not Fortune 50.” → We’re built for mid‑market growth companies.
  • “Procurement delays kill momentum.” → Fixed scope, clear deliverables, fast start.
  • “We don’t have a brand team to run this.” → Enablement + governance; you own it on day one.

Not an agency. On purpose.

  • Ship > showcase. Assets that get used, not admired.
  • Weeks, not quarters. 3‑week build; assets in market within days.
  • Activation‑first. Everything wired to ATS/CRM workflows.
  • Price clarity. Transparent scope; no surprise invoices.
  • You own it. Our goal is that you don’t need us.

Outcomes you’ll feel in 30 days

  • Reply rate goes up because you're leaning on proof‑led openers.
  • Qualified applicants goes up and lifts first‑interview quality.
  • Offer acceptance goes up because you're offering a clearer, more credible WIIFM.
  • Channel waste declines because you're spend shifts to what actually converts.

Employer branding doesn't have to be a capital investment or a below-the-line budget item. And when you distill it down to what matters, it will help you grow your company.

110% recommend! We got so much out of it and James was unreal. So patient, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, engaging, all the other great words! It really helped us open our eyes to what was already in front of us and really promote the great things that we offer!
-Olivia Human Resources Officer

It was amazing! I kept getting pings on teams from people saying “He’s so great! This is amazing!” Etc. The overall explanation of how we need to differentiate and then digging into their questions and real world examples got the creative juices flowing. You kept it engaging and fun and I got a lot of great feedback about that too.
- Christy S. Talent Acquisition Leader

"There were no surprises in what James shared from his findings, but rather a clarity we previously had trouble defining for ourselves. For a subject that has an ROI that is often hard to quantify, James helped put things in terms that would help create buy-in from other key members of the organization!“
-Ashley S. Head of TA
