Answer a focused questionnaire about how your company hires today. A BEACON & COMPASS talent strategist personally reviews it and sends back a written diagnostic — where your hiring stands across the pillars of a strong system, the root issue beneath the surface, and the sequence of moves that fixes it. Delivered in one business day.
Most "hiring audits" hand you a generic checklist. This is different. Your answers run through the BEACON & COMPASS talent intelligence engine to map the full picture — then a strategist reviews, sharpens, and stands behind every line before it reaches you. It's the same diagnostic thinking behind our client engagements, offered as a focused first step. You get senior judgment on your specific situation, without committing to a full engagement first.
A signal readout across the four pillars of a strong hiring system — role clarity, interview reliability, employer story, and measurement — each with a plain-language read on where you stand.
The bottom line — the central strategic truth of your situation, led from your real strengths, naming the opportunity that most shapes what's ahead.
Findings that go deep — what's actually happening, why, and what it costs the business if left unaddressed.
The root issue beneath the surface — plus at least one non-obvious insight most teams haven't named.
A sequenced path forward — the specific moves, in the order that compounds, and what each one concretely produces.
A focused set of questions about how your company hires today — roughly ten minutes. The more candid you are, the sharper your diagnostic.
Your answers run through the BEACON & COMPASS intelligence to draft the full diagnostic. A strategist then personally reviews and refines it — nothing goes out unread.
A polished, written diagnostic lands in your inbox within one business day — clear enough to act on immediately, and to share with your team or board.
The free Talent Readiness Assessment gives you an instant scorecard from ten quick questions. The Hiring Diagnostic goes far deeper: a detailed questionnaire, the full intelligence engine mapping your specific situation, and a strategist personally reviewing and writing up the findings — a real assessment you can act on and share, not a self-serve score.
Both, in the right order. The engine does the heavy first draft so nothing gets missed; a BEACON & COMPASS strategist then reviews, sharpens, and stands behind every line. You're getting senior judgment, delivered fast.
One business day from when you submit your questionnaire. If anything needs clarifying, we'll reach out to the email you provide.
Founders and people leaders at scaling tech companies — typically somewhere between first serious hires and a fast-growing team — who want a clear, honest read on their hiring before they scale it further.
The diagnostic is designed to stand on its own. If it's clear you'd benefit from building the system out, the Ignition Sprint is the natural next step — and your $249 is credited toward it in full.
Ten minutes of questions. A senior diagnostic in return, in one business day.
