We built the tool we wish we had when we were leading recruiting teams.

Origin Story

Recruiting Plan was designed and built by Growth by Design Talent co-founders Mike Joyner, Adam Ward, and Jill Macri. We’ve built and led recruiting teams inside some of the fastest growing early stage start-ups and massive global Fortune 50 companies. Through Growth by Design Talent, we’ve worked with many different companies across industries and stages of business maturity including 11 of the CNBC Disruptor 50, 11 of the Time 100 Most Influential Companies, and 10 of the Inc Best Companies to Work For in America.

We believe that a company’s future success is significantly dependent on the quality of talent committed to building that future together. This means that as companies accelerate their ambitions and growth goals so too do the demands on the recruiting team to attract and hire the right set of people to achieve those goals.

The challenge that we’ve consistently seen that gets in the way is the need for better capacity and resource planning on the recruiting team.

The challenge that we’ve consistently seen that gets in the way is the need for better capacity and resource planning on the recruiting team. There can be different reasons for this -- lack of understanding by the executive team on what hiring is possible, on-going changes to the hiring plan as leaders get new information, recruiting leaders lack the experience in planning for productivity and capacity, and there aren’t tools available to simplify the process to drive alignment. As a result, many different versions of spreadsheets get created to hack away at a solution.

We’ve put our collective experiences together to build Recruiting Plan. It’s the tool that we wish we had when we were leading recruiting teams. We see so many companies that are building inspiring products and services that are changing lives. Recruiting Plan is a capacity planning tool to help companies accelerate towards those even bigger growth aspirations to expand their impact on the world.
