People & Talent

A founder is the first recruiter

A strong Talent function has immeasurable impact on the future of a growing business. TA should be seen as an extension of leadership, not a service function. Taylor puts Talent Density front and center over all other traditional metrics. He also speaks on the value of quality over quantity in recruiting, and how to deliver a hyper-human recruiting experience for better business outcomes.

​

Diversity & Inclusion

Intention leads to meaningful change

Today we all accept the importance of DEI to a business, yet across industries the subject is shrouded by inaction. Taylor speaks on the importance of pulling DEI out of the recruiting function and creating a sense of shared priority across the business as a whole. How can we build a culture of seeking and celebrating difference?

Career Design & Strategy

Think and plan like a startup

Today the talent market is just as liquid as any other market. Longevity is punished, and movement is rewarded. A healthy modern employment relationship is marked by outcomes rather than tenure. Every professional must see themselves as a business, their work as a service. You Are a Startup. Taylor enjoys speaking for student and young professional audiences on early career strategy.
