who to hire next.

Like the Oakland A's in Moneyball, the winning move isn't the obvious signing — it's the one the data points to. Talent Harbor analyses your business and names the single hire that unlocks the most growth. Under five minutes.
"Your goal shouldn't be to buy players. Your goal should be to buy wins."
Peter Brand, Moneyball (2011)
The Oakland A's had the smallest budget in baseball. They stopped hiring the players everyone felt were stars and started hiring the ones the numbers said would actually win games.
You might be completely wrong
You think you know where to hire next.
The data usually disagrees.
Nearly every founder walks in certain: "We need another salesperson." Then the assessment shows sales isn't the constraint at all — delivery is drowning, or leads never get followed up, or nobody owns retention. Hire into the wrong function and you pay a six-figure salary to make the bottleneck worse.
- Gut feel hires the role the founder used to do — not the role the business needs.
- The loudest problem is rarely the binding constraint.
- One right hire compounds; one wrong hire costs 12 months.
