Trust us – when the values of your team align, the sky’s the limit.

Hire Talent

Our Process

Discovery Call

In our discovery call we take you through a detailed value alignment process to best understand the job requirements and how the right candidate aligns culture and mission. Completion of this process means that both sides have a clear understanding of the timeline, the 90 day success goals for a potential hire and geographically where we’re targeting to hire. 

Sourcing

We write a custom job description and proposition plan for candidates we suspect would align on both skills and company values.  The SD team conducts screening to find the most qualified and aligned candidates.

Quorum

During Quorum, the internal recruitment team presents candidates to your account executives and subject matter experts, who review each proposed candidate and explain why they align with the company's requirements, culture, and values.

Presentation

Candidate presentations are key to understanding the process and results of the Sound Decisions team.  During this meeting, we will detail the candidates who have passed our internal quorum and why we believe their skills and alignment will produce exceptional results in this role.

Value Alignment Interview

During the first client interview, the Sound Decisions team is with you the entire time. We provide sets of starter questions to help break the ice fast.  We believe getting candidates comfortable quickly produces the best interviews.  This interview is dedicated to knowledge testing and culture alignment.

Working Session

The working session interview step is there to see a candidate in action. In this interview, we share an assignment with the candidate to see if they take action and prove their skills and abilities in a natural setting. 

Final Interview

The final interview aims to have a deeper discussion on vision and expectations of the role.  This allows your leadership team to match the 90-day success plan to the candidate’s first three months, discuss how the candidate will tackle each objective, and align with your teams vision for this role.

Sound Decisions  is your ticket to an untapped talent pool with unlimited potential.

It’s a familiar story. Great on paper. Meh on the job. Over the years, we’ve found that 90% of a candidate’s success has nothing to do with a job description. Whereas most recruiters assess candidates for the short term, we look for individuals with long-term potential and passion for your brand. Instead of pushing back on challenges, our hires ask “how can we help your business?”

That’s because resumes are not the dao of our success. And our one-of-a kind search process is designed to separate high-impact performers from people who only collect a paycheck. High-impact candidates may require more training and their growth velocity may start slower than someone with all the right qualifications on paper. But a candidate whose values and motivations align with yours will ramp up exponentially, delivering more value and driving more growth for your business over the long term.

Your company culture. Done your way.

Your company culture.
Done your way.

Are you searching for a global team of digital nomads? Or how about employees who crave the prestige of a large corporation? Is your company culture one of high-energy and a success-driven mindset? Or do your culture-fit KPIs consist of employees posting funny memes in your team’s group chat? Whatever it is, you know your company best. We sit back, listen, and find candidates who will follow you on your growth journey.

Our candidates take a role and own it, empowering your organization for the long-term. By bringing the right kind of people to the right kind of organization, clients who have gone through our matching process have never been happier. We work on contingency, which means you never pay until you’re happy with our candidate. We then charge a fee based upon 30% of your new hire’s starting salary. Our highly effective hiring process has served some of the world’s most successful companies. We call it Hire OS. It only attracts candidates with a business-first priority, resulting in employees who will grow alongside your organization.

We design you the perfect candidate at every step of our hiring process. It all starts with a “get to know you” intake call

Fast is not our game. When recruiters promise you the perfect candidate in two days, that means you’re getting someone who has already been farmed out. We believe it takes longer than two weeks to find great talent. Fast candidates lead to less results and higher turnover for your business down the line. We select candidates who will stick with your organization for the long-term, who will become valued members of your team, and who will rise to any challenges thrown at them.

Whether your hiring process has seven steps or two, we seamlessly integrate with your HR department to deliver the best candidates for your organization. Our screening process involves the following three stages:

Discovery

We learn your business inside and out, fully understanding your values, how you operate and a 90 day success plan for your your new hire.

A-Player Analysis

We create a customized screener that finds the candidate, with the motivations, and ability to build tremendous value in your organization.

Value Alignment

We turn your core values into an interview segment.  Core value aligned teams outperform not aligned by 700%.

I went to them looking for CFO, VP of Operations, as well as Head of Marketing. And they created magic. I found three A Players to my team. Sound Decisions is just another level. The amount of care and time they put into making sure they found the perfect fit was incredible.

1.  What is the difference between Direct Hire and Outsourcing?

Direct Hire is a 1-time placement fee and a single search service that helps you find the right future employee wherever they are. Direct Hire solutions guarantee the placement for a period of time and work with management to make sure goals and objectives through that period are clearly defined.

Outsource Staffing gives you the freedom to swap staff as your needs change. Outsourced staffing is preferred by many customers because of the assistance in compliance, payroll, coaching, and time management.

2.  How does Sound Decisions ensure candidates are the right fit?

We go beyond matching skills—we focus on value alignment. Through our precision hiring process, we carefully assess each candidate’s experience, cultural fit, and potential for growth to ensure they not only perform well but also thrive within your company, contributing to long-term success.

3.  What industries and roles do you specialize in?

We specialize in Technology, E-commerce, FinTech, and Retail & Wholesale industries, placing candidates in a variety of roles such as Applications Developers, Senior Accountants, Customer Service, Project Managers, and Call Center Agents. No matter the position, we find the A-players who align with your company’s mission and values.

4.  What can I expect from your technical solutions and call center services?

Our Technical Solutions include custom call center build-outs, staffing, IT, and automation to help our clients provide the best technical support possible. We handle recruiting, training, and managing teams to ensure seamless operations and provide you with scalable solutions for long-term growth.

5.  How long does the hiring process typically take?

Our hiring process is thorough yet efficient, with timelines tailored to your needs. Whether it’s a direct hire for an executive role or building an outsourced team, we ensure each step—from value alignment to onboarding—is conducted thoughtfully, so you get the right fit, not just a quick fill.

6.  What kind of post-placement support do you provide?

Our partnership doesn’t end once a candidate is placed. We provide 90-day success plans, ongoing check-ins, and support to ensure that both the candidate and your business are aligned and thriving.

This proactive approach helps you achieve long-term retention and sustainable growth.
