Life as a CEO or Founder is No Joke.
The spotlight is on you, and every decision shapes your next move. But what happens when your business starts growing faster than you can keep up? You need to hire.
Hiring isn’t just a checkbox. It’s a critical step that can make or break your success. And let’s be honest, getting it right isn’t easy. You don’t have to repeat the same costly mistakes so many startups have made before you.
Imagine having experts by your side who have been living and breathing GTM hiring for decades. Experts who can guide you to build a system that works from day one.
That’s what The ATP Studio is all about.
We help early-stage founders save time, millions of dollars, momentum, and stress by tackling one of their biggest challenges: hiring.
With Amy Volas and Taryn Lanaghan leading your private startup consulting sessions, you’ll get the tools and expertise to create a hiring system designed for your success.
Our Process, Your Path: Start Hiring Strategically
Atlas by ATP: Building the Right Process for Hiring Right People... the first time
Great hires don’t happen by accident. They’re the result of a strategic, repeatable process.
After 10 years of refining hiring systems, we’ve learned one thing: Most companies don’t have a hiring problem. They have a broken process.
The brutal truth? The median job tenure for employees on Carta is just 2.2 years. At ATP, 57% of our executive search business comes from hires that don’t work out. It’s not just bad luck. It’s broken processes draining time, money, and momentum.
By the time CEOs and founders realize it, they’ve already burned time, money, momentum, and trust on the wrong hire. That mistake? It sets the whole business back.
Atlas by ATP uncovers gaps in your hiring approach and delivers a clear plan to fix them. It’s the same framework we’ve used to achieve a 98% interview-to-hire success rate with our executive search practice.
We take a hard look at your process, from the moment you think about hiring to the first 90 days, so you can stop making expensive, preventable mistakes.
No more guesswork or crossed fingers. No more expensive missteps. No more losing key talent.
This isn’t just about fixing your hiring process. It’s about transforming how you think about growth. Atlas helps you build a scalable foundation, so you can stop patching holes and start building the team you deserve.
