- **Headquarters**: Miami, Florida, United States
- **Founded**: 2016

## Core Business
- Primary industry/industries: Workforce Infrastructure, Business Consulting & Services, HR Technology
- Target customers: Enterprise procurement, global operations leaders, and high-growth organizations (B2B). Client roster includes Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, Ford, Uber, and MongoDB.
- Mission or purpose statement: “Contractor programs have become fragmented… Specialized talent deserves operational discipline and structured support. Organizations should not choose between velocity and governance.”

- **Legal & Technical Specialists (Service)**: Vetted network of elite contractors deployed in AI, cloud, security, product, and engineering roles at top-tier clients.
- **TalentOS (SaaS/Platform)**: A real-time command center providing structured visibility into contractor performance, compliance status, and global workforce footprint for leadership, procurement, HR, and finance.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available (private, bootstrapped)
- **Key Metric**: 100% contractor compliance across global programs; 100% year-over-year enterprise client retention; 98.5% client satisfaction score; 4.8/5 Glassdoor rating (32 reviews)

## Competitive Advantages
- **Differentiated operating model**: Not a transactional staffing firm—they build and run structured contractor programs with dedicated “operators,” not just software or agencies.
- **Governance-first approach**: 100% compliance and audit-ready controls across compliance, finance, and risk; “tools are not the operating model.”
- **Top-tier client validation**: Proven at scale with some of the world’s most demanding companies (Nvidia, Ford, Uber, MongoDB, Microsoft, Amazon).
- **TalentOS platform**: Combines automation (EOR/PEO integrations with Deel, ADP, BambooHR, Greenhouse) with human accountability for a unique one-view leadership dashboard.

## Strategic Focus
- Scaling the “operating standard” for global contractor programs, bridging the gap between velocity and governance.
- Deepening AI, autonomous vehicles, and cloud engineering talent pipelines (evidenced by current job postings for AI safety engineers, ML engineers, and autonomous vehicle test engineers).
- Expanding TalentOS as a standalone governance and visibility tool for procurement and finance leaders.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Described as “operational discipline over shortcuts,” “ownership and accountability,” “mutual respect for consultants and clients.” Employees rate culture 4.7/5 on Glassdoor.
- **Work environment**: Global remote-friendly with roles in Santa Clara, San Francisco, Boston, Austin, London, and remote; contractor network operates flexibly. Office hub in Miami, FL.
- **Notable perks**: Contractors are treated as “long-term partners” with structured onboarding, dedicated operational support, and transparent expectations. Internal team is lean and high-impact—only ~15 core employees serving a massive client base.
