MY NEXT STAGE published a piece on modernizing Talent Acquisition by AMS, which defines problems as recruiting friction.

Unlocking IMPACT. Building Better Teams. Work doesn’t succeed because of résumés, job titles, or clever interview questions. It succeeds because people bring out the best in one another. Because managers know how to lead each individual. Because teams complement each other’s strengths. Because people are in environments where they can contribute, grow, and create value. That’s IMPACT. And that’s why My Next Stage exists. We help organizations understand how people, managers, and teams will impact one another before important workforce decisions are made. Using validated behavioral science and our proprietary bi-directional IMPACT model, we reveal interaction patterns that traditional assessments and interviews simply can’t see. Hiring is just the beginning. The same insights help organizations onboard faster, strengthen teams, improve internal mobility, support leadership transitions, and make better workforce decisions over time. Everyone has a voice. Candidates, managers, and teams all participate. Everyone receives meaningful insights that help them grow—not labels that limit them. Because careers aren’t just jobs. They’re relationships. Teams. Managers. Choices. Possibilities. When people are aligned with the right manager, the right team, and the right environment, organizations perform better—and work becomes more meaningful for everyone. We don’t measure people in isolation. We reveal how they’ll make an IMPACT.
