How Rebel Talent Systems Actually Works

Most founders think hiring is the problem. It's not.

It's the symptom.

Your real problem:

Here's what happens when you work with me:

Week 1

I See What You're Actually Up Against

No templates. We map your mess:

  • Broken ATS? Fixed.
  • Sourcing that's not working? Rewired.
  • Hiring managers interviewing like it's 1999? Trained.

You get a custom plan - not "hire 3 people." Deliverables, timeline, metrics.

Month 1

The Machine Goes Live

Infrastructure first, candidates second:

  • Screening frameworks that filter 90% of noise
  • Sourcing automation for your niche (cleared, technical, GTM)
  • Role profiles hiring managers actually read

Priority roles get filled while this happens.

Months 2-3

Results + Refinement

  • 2-5 roles filled (your hardest ones first)
  • Weekly pipeline reviews - no black box
  • Systems battle-tested, not theoretical
Month 4+

You Own It

I stay on a reduced scope (unless negotiated otherwise), we find you a fantastic internal person, or I exit cleanly.

Any way we go, you get the finished product.

You keep:

No vendor lock-in. Everything transfers to you.

FAQ

Half the length, twice the punch.

"Fractional Head of Talent" = ?
Strategic leadership without the full-time salary. I embed with your team (weekly syncs, ATS access), build your recruiting machine, fill your hardest roles, then scale down or exit.
Agency vs. Me?

Agency: Transactional. Paid per hire. Gone after placement.

Me: Embedded. Infrastructure + execution. Measured by retention and pipeline velocity.

If you need 1-2 hires per year, Underground Admins is a better fit. If you're scaling and need talent infrastructure, Rebel Talent is what you need.

Contingency?

No. I build systems. Contingency is for order-takers.

If you need speed and one-off contingent placements, Underground Admins can handle that separately.

How long?
3-6 months to build + fill. Month-to-month after. Walk anytime.
Company size?

Series A-C startups, defense contractors. 20-200 people scaling fast but not ready for full-time TA leadership.

If you're hiring 1-2 people per year, Underground Admins is a better fit. If you're hiring 10+ and need talent strategy, we should talk.

Roles?
Technical, GTM, ops, leadership. Cleared/DoD specialist. No high-volume hourly.
Already have a recruiter?
Perfect. I build what they execute within. Or handle overflow when they're slammed.
After I'm gone?
You own everything. Systems, docs, pipelines, trained team. No vendor lock-in.
