It is free. Fast mode takes about a minute. Every part is yours to edit and download.

    Target setting

    The seat, 12 month KPIs, must haves, what failure looks like, the job description and an onboarding plan.

  2. Phase 2

    Roadmapping

    Where to find the person, a brief to get your team on the same page, and a hiring timeline.

  3. Phase 3

    Recruiting

    A phone screen guide and a finalist tracker to score each person side by side.

  4. Phase 4

    Decision making

    An interview guide, reference checks, a real offer letter and a plan to close.

  5. Phase 5

    After the hire

    A day one handover and check ins at day 30, 60 and 90.

  6. Extra

    Outreach kit

    Eleven messages across email, LinkedIn and phone. Use it if you want it.

Where the kit could not find something about your company, it marks the spot in yellow. You know exactly what to check before you send it.

One click to download. Share a link with your hiring panel. Or book a call and have our team run the search for you.

The method

The Ideal Candidate Profile threads through everything.

Most hiring programs start with a job description. But a job description is generic, too long, and rarely sets the three KPIs that tell the candidate what success looks like.

That's why the Ideal Candidate Profile threads through everything in our method.

  1. The Foundation

    Mission, vision, core values, who thrives here.

  2. Target Setting

    The seat, the KPIs, the competencies, and the job description.

  3. Roadmapping

    Where to find candidates, plus the eleven touch outreach plan.

  4. Recruiting

    The phone screen guide, then the finalist tracker.

  5. Decision Making

    Interview guide, reference checks, the offer, and the close.

  6. Post-Hire

    Day one handover, plus the 30/60/90 day review.

What clients say

Hiring teams who do not have time to be wrong.

Mike and his team engaged with our organization to understand our culture, values, and objectives — they took the time to know what we needed before sending a single candidate.

Rachel Revilla, Regional HR Director · Yokohama TWS North America

Prior to Talent Traction, we always hit a roadblock on key hires. The partnership enabled us to bring on great people in sales and management — we have scaled to a new level.

Joe Ruggiero, Owner · Land Work Contractors

They consistently deliver top-tier, A-player candidates. Their professionalism and insight into the tire market is unmatched — I can count on Mike to always be truthful.

Common questions

Things people ask first.

Is it really free?
Yes. Build as many Systems as you want. We make money when companies hire us to run the search. Most people use the free tool and never talk to us. That is the point.
Who is this for?
HR leads and hiring managers who run their own searches. Not outside recruiters. If you want a real playbook instead of guessing, this is for you.
How long does it take?
About fifteen minutes for a full System. You answer questions about the role and the company. The System builds alongside you. Edit anything before you download.
Will it replace Greenhouse or Workday?
No. Keep your ATS. The Talent Traction System gives you the method those tools assume you already have. They sit side by side, not against each other.
What happens to my data?
It stays yours. We never sell or share company data. Shared System links expire after ninety days. Full details on the privacy page.
Can I see what a finished System looks like?
Yes. Five sample Systems live on the samples page. Open any of them. That is what you get.
What if I want you to run the search?
Fill in the white glove form on this page. Tire industry jobs go to our Tire Talent team. Every other job goes to Talent Traction. A search expert will reach out. No pressure.
