Course overview
Are you a founder, investor, or rising leader who wants to build an elite team—and accelerate your trajectory to the next level?
There’s one make-or-break skill that will define your career trajectory more than any other: The ability to assess talent with precision.
And yet, less than 10% of leaders have ever been trained in how to do it.
If you're like the thousands of high-performers we've worked with, you’ve seen how great talent can supercharge your progress—and how hiring mistakes can completely derail it. But until now, there hasn’t been a rigorous, proven system to learn this craft. That’s why we built Hiring Mastery.
We’ll teach you the exact system we've taught to top VCs, PE firms, and tech leaders to assess candidates like a pro—unlocking better hires, faster velocity, and massive upside.
If you join us, you’ll leave with:
‣ A repeatable system for identifying top talent in any role
‣ The confidence to lead high-stakes hiring with executives, investors, or your Board
‣ The skills to dramatically increase your hiring accuracy for the rest of your career
Plus, you’ll get 6 months of access to Talgo On Demand—our full library of video walkthroughs, annotated interview demos, and coaching breakdowns used by top firms.
This isn’t HR fluff. It’s how you avoid years of costly hiring mistakes—and start building the team you actually need to win.
