Why Most Companies Are Stuck
For too long, the tech industry has treated outdated, broken hiring tactics as the gold standard, normalizing high turnover, short tenures, and costly mistakes as the price of doing business. ATP has shattered that myth, proving that these failures aren’t inevitable. They’re fixable.
The brutal reality:
• Founders and CEOs waste 17+ hours a week on hiring with no real progress
• Hiring is inconsistent and reactive, leading to unpredictable results
• Most companies have only a 20% chance of making the right hire
• Hiring who "feels right" trumps validating alignment and competence
• Chasing speed over process and real progress
It’s not just about finding someone good, it’s about finding someone who’s great for you and that requires a systematic approach, not shortcuts or luck.
One CEO put it bluntly: "Every time I hire, my process changes, and so do the results. I need something that works every time."
The Hidden Growth Killer
AI has leveled the playing field, making exceptional teams the only real competitive advantage.
Most companies fail at hiring because their systems are built on guesswork, so if you want different outcomes, you must make different choices.
That means a strategically designed hiring system that delivers the consistent, predictable results your business requires. (and deserves)
Without a repeatable hiring system, here’s what happens:
• Overextended leadership getting stuck in hiring chaos instead of driving strategy
• Fragmented teams with misalignment, silos, and stalled momentum
• Inconsistent processes that drain time and money
• Undefined success markers that lead to mishires
•Scaling chaos that turns growth into quicksand
You don’t rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.
The difference between hiring chaos and strategic growth?.. Clarity
If you're ready, so are we. Let's get to work.
The Hiring OS by ATP | Because Hiring Without An Operating System Is Just Guessing
The best product doesn’t win. The best team does.
Hiring excellence isn’t luck. It happens on purpose through a strategic, repeatable system.
The cost of getting it wrong?
Data reveals a single bad hire costs ≥ $240K, and the odds of keeping your team beyond 2.2 years? Slim to none. And that’s just the beginning. In our 10+ years of experience, we’ve seen executive mishires spiral into something far worse: lost revenue, credibility, brand trust, opportunity, equity, morale, time, and momentum.
The worst we’ve seen is $45 million in forfeited equity and revenue. Your company cannot afford to make this expensive mistake.
Yet, if you’re like most companies, you’re still hiring on gut feel, outdated methods, and crossed fingers. That’s why we built The Hiring OS by ATP.
