I led talent acquisition teams at Google and Uber. Now I help local businesses hire like they have an HR department.

Post the role, screen every applicant, and you see only qualified candidates — without the shoebox of resumes, hours of unqualified interviews, or an HR person on payroll.

Sound familiar?

If your last hire went like this, we should talk

  • You paid to promote a job posting, got 40 applicants, and maybe 3 were real
  • Resumes are in your email, your text messages, and a folder behind the counter
  • You told a good candidate you'd get back to them, and it's been two weeks
  • You've posted the same position three times this year
  • You have no idea why the last three people said no

How it works

Three steps from open role to the right hire

It all runs in ATS54, the hiring software we built for local businesses.

  1. 1

    We post the role.

    Each job gets its own landing page that Google picks up, and we post it by hand to Indeed and other job boards. No job board fees to you.

  2. 2

    We screen every applicant.

    Every applicant's resume is reviewed and obvious no-gos are filtered out. Sales and other assessments are sent on request.

  3. 3

    You see who's worth calling.

    Every qualified candidate, their stage, and how long they've been waiting on you.

Who you'll work with

I've read about 10,000 resumes. You shouldn't have to read 40.

At Google and Uber, every hire ran through the same process: a clear job description, the same questions for every candidate, and a scorecard at the end. None of that needs a big company — it just needs someone to set it up. I grew up in a small Tennessee town, and I built 1754 so the businesses I grew up around can hire the way the biggest companies do, without an HR department to run it.

Beyond hiring

Once the hiring works, we look at the rest

Hiring is usually the first thing that breaks. It's rarely the only one — the website, the quotes that never get followed up, the reports someone rebuilds by hand every Monday. We build those too.
