Hard-to-fill design role?
We'll go find the people who aren't applying.
Talent-Smiths helps architecture and interior design firms identify and recruit experienced people for roles where the applicant pool isn't cutting it.
We learn the role. Map the relevant market. Approach the right people. And introduce the few worth meeting.
You probably don't have a resume problem.
You have a right-person problem.
A job posting can give you 75 applicants and still leave you without the Project Architect, PM, Senior Designer or future leader you actually need.
And sending ten more resumes doesn't solve that.
We'd rather find two people you'd genuinely hire.
We know what we're looking at.
I spent seven years practicing architecture before I ever recruited an architect.
Which means when you tell me:
“They need to actually be able to run the project.”
“Healthcare experience isn't negotiable.”
“I need someone design-forward, but they still have to execute.”
“They can't come from a huge firm and expect three people underneath them.”
“This could eventually become a leadership role.”
…I understand what you mean.
That's the advantage.
A smaller shortlist on purpose.
1. We figure out what actually matters.
Not twenty bullets from the job description. The 4–5 things that determine whether someone succeeds.
2. We map the market.
Who is doing comparable work? Who has the right project experience? Who might actually consider the move?
4. You meet the few who make sense.
Not a database dump. Not twelve “maybe” resumes.
3. We approach them directly.
Including people who aren't applying anywhere.
