How It Works

A simple, proven process to hire elite talent without the headache of traditional recruiting.

Why Hiring Right Changes Everything

Before we dive into the process, here's why getting this right matters for your business.

Why talent is the answer

How TCA helps

Discovery Consultation

We start by mapping the role, not posting it. On a free consultation we define your workflow, the exact skills the hire needs, your tools, and what a great long-term fit actually looks like. The brief is set before we ever start sourcing.

Map the role and must-have skills
Clarify time-zone and hours overlap up front
Set expectations for the first 90 days

Deep Sourcing

We source from both the active job market and the hidden job market, the deeply embedded talent that never reaches a job board. Our recruiters work top global talent markets every day to reach people you could never find on your own.

Access to the hidden, non-advertised talent pool
Recruiters embedded in-market daily
Sourced against your specific brief

Multi-Stage Screening

Every candidate moves through multiple screens built on behavioral and fact-finder frameworks drawn from top headhunting practice. We do more than check skills, we uncover the full story: past clients, the exact work they've done, their tools, and where they want their career to go.

Behavioral and fact-finder interviews
Past clients, tools, and real work verified
The full candidate story, not just a resume

Paid Skills Assessment

Candidates prove they can do the work, not just talk about it. For creative roles especially, we run paid test tasks on real assets so the quality is verified hands-on before anyone ever reaches your shortlist.

Creative output judged to your standard
Only top 1% performers advance

Interviews & Shortlist

Finalists interview directly with our recruiter, and only those who clear our top-1% bar are placed in front of you. We prep candidates, follow up before and after, and submit only people we would stake our name on.

Multi-round interviews
Candidates prepped and supported
You meet only vetted finalists

Placement, Trial & Onboarding

You begin with a paid trial, then a structured 30/60/90-day onboarding that builds the foundation for a long-term hire. Placement is guaranteed in 14 days or less, and if a hire isn't working within the first 30 days we replace them at no additional cost.
