A CV is someone’s working life on two pages, and reading it properly is the least you owe.

Recruitment, done well, is translation: take what a business actually needs and find the person who fits it precisely, not approximately. Most hiring falls down right there, because that translation takes time nobody is given.

A CV is someone’s working life on two pages. Reading it properly is the least you owe the person who sent it, and the business waiting on the hire.

talyn is that craft with the overhead stripped out: big-firm rigour, a fixed fee agreed up front, and the depth you’d expect of a whole team, without the cost of carrying one.

The real cost of doing it yourself

Hiring yourself feels free. It isn’t

The manager you lose

Done properly, a hire is 30 to 40 hours: the ad, every application read, phone screens, interviews, references. That’s the better part of your best operator’s week, and every hour of it is one they’re not billing, selling, or running the business.

The seat sitting empty

While you sort the hire yourself, the seat stays empty, and a DIY search keeps it that way weeks longer than it should. The work it was meant to do stalls, or lands on someone already flat out.

The hire you settle for

Nobody has 40 spare hours, so the pile gets skimmed and the first plausible name gets the job. You find out around month four, four months of salary spent, and the miss is yours alone to fix.

Self-sourcing costs you both ways: do it properly and it’s a week of your best person; do it fast and it’s the wrong hire at month four. There’s a third way, and you’re reading it.
