Signal & Strand said no to the company plan.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴. We built a whole firm on that sentence. Signal & Strand is a boutique recruiting and people operations firm, founder-led and built on 25+ years inside the world's most demanding companies across tech, aerospace, healthcare, apparel, entertainment, luxury, and nonprofit. We spent our careers on the client's side of the table, making the hiring decisions that mattered. Then we built the firm we always wished we could hire. The model is simple and a little disruptive. A 𝟭𝟬% 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗲, when the industry standard runs 20 to 30% and up. A 𝟵𝟬-𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲 on every placement: if the hire doesn't work out, the search continues at no additional cost. 𝟭𝟬𝟬 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝗻𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 through FromJump®, because the right hire only changes everything if they stay. No retainers, no upfront fees, no long-term contracts. Two ways we work. 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: contingent search, Recruiting as a Service, and executive search across apparel and consumer products, emerging tech (automation, data, AI/ML), revenue, operations, people, and the C-suite. And 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗛𝗥𝗜𝗦 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀: embedded experts who keep Workday actually working. Headquartered in Long Beach, California, with employees across the US, Europe, and Asia, we recruit nationally and internationally on every search. Every engagement can run fully confidential. And because you can't do well unless you also do good, a large portion of our profits goes to community causes, alongside significant pro-bono recruiting for nonprofits. Everyone else sends résumés. We send the people who fill the gap. 𝗸𝗮𝘀𝗲@𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱.𝗰𝗼𝗺 | 𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰@𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱.𝗰𝗼𝗺 | 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱.𝗰𝗼𝗺 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗛𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴®
