“Anyone can build a model. The hard part is the weekly discipline of using it.” — each scenario above is the kind of question we surface and answer with you, every week.

What we read

Four pillars, one cadence.

01

Demand → Talent

Weighted pipeline against real capacity. Where will you be short, and when — before the deal closes, not after.

02

Competency Architecture

What "senior" actually means in your firm, mapped to the work. The vocabulary that makes staffing decisions comparable.

03

Talent Economics

Utilisation, bench cost, and margin as one picture — so redeploy-vs-hire is a number, not a gut call.

04

Operating Model

The weekly rhythm itself: the 30-minute session that keeps the model in use instead of in a drawer.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is TalentOps?

TalentOps is a weekly operating cadence that turns a services firm's pipeline and staffing reality into hire, partner, redeploy or hold decisions — each with the reasoning written down. It reads four pillars: Demand to Talent, Competency Architecture, Talent Economics, and the Operating Model itself. It is the door-opener to everything else we do.

Who is TalentOps for?

Services firms from around 200 to 5,000 people, where the buyer is the CEO, COO, CFO or people lead. These firms usually already know they should run this discipline — the question is whether an external weekly cadence is faster than building it in-house. We think it is.

How is it different from buying software?

Anyone can build a model; the hard part is the weekly discipline of using it. TalentOps is a service, not a tool you procure and then have to run yourself. A named consultant runs the cadence with you every week, so the model stays in use instead of in a drawer — and there's no two-year platform procurement.

What does it cost?

TalentOps runs on a retainer of roughly €1,000–4,000 per month with a three-month minimum, delivered as a 12-week operating cycle. Final pricing is custom and depends on your headcount and system complexity. Three compositions are available — Foundation, Operating Cadence, and Full Partner — plus a rolling ongoing option.

What decisions does it produce?

Every week it produces clear calls — hire, partner, redeploy or hold — each with written rationale in an exec brief and decision log. By the three-month mark you should have lifted KPIs, an enhanced understanding of the business, and a C-level that feels more confident and in control.
