The Solution

StudioX engaged Intag Consulting to address its recruiting and strategic planning needs. Intag quickly got to work, implementing a fractional recruiting model, leveraging its expertise and established network to efficiently identify and attract top talent. Resources were brought in on a flexible, as-needed basis, furthering the cost savings as compared to a traditional recruiter.

Data was pulled from three different markets to compile salary averages for every role in the StudioX organization.

Additionally, Intag provided executive-level coaching to CEO Jeff Allyn, giving feedback and advice on how to properly handle a range of internal issues including leadership alignment and sensitive staffing concerns. Individual coaching sessions were also conducted with the HR manager to refine interview strategies and negotiation tactics.

Results

Over the course of a year, StudioX met its hiring goal, expanding from 28 to 75 employees across various roles, from entry-level to executive positions. Notably, the partnership also resulted in established compensation benchmark reporting that was presented to the board and enhanced organizational alignment.

CEO Jeff Allyn attributes that success to Intag’s effective recruitment strategies and executive coaching support. “Working with Intag allowed us to control the ups and downs of hiring and not have to overthink it. The caliber of candidates they found was exceptional,” he continued, “and the cost savings was substantial. I would have had to sacrifice 4-5 roles to cover the costs of a traditional recruiter. They were a true partner and took the burden completely off of my shoulders.”

This underscored the effectiveness of Intag’s approach in identifying candidates who aligned with StudioX’s culture and long-term vision.
